Biden's my top choice for VP. I think he will be gret on the campaign trails, delivering his aptented one-liners like "A noun, a verb and 9/11."

You're s scum-sucking coward. You wouldn't dare say any of the shit you spew here to a man's face. If you said anything like it directly to me, I would, personally, beat the fuck out of you. Got that, loser?

It sounds to me like denial is grudgingly giving way to acceptance.

If you're truly as concerned about Democrats spreading distortions, innuendo, and outright lies to smear their opponents as you are about Republicans doing so, then you've been asleep for the last twenty years.

I think either Democrat will destroy McCain in the general (I think that's one reason Clinton is so desperate to get the nod - this year the Dem nomination is a ticket straight to the White House). Obama doesn't need Clinton on the ticket to win, and if enough of her supporters sit home or vote Republican that it swings the election to McCain, then there isn't a Democratic Party at all, just competing cults of personality.

The problem with Clinton as Veep starts after the election. Obama will basically have two other people closely involved in the administration who think they should be president. The capacity for sabotage of Obama's historic opporunity is just too great to risk it for the short-term electoral gain.

Plus, she's absolutely horrible, and the polar opposite of Obama, both in terms of policy and tone when it comes to foreign affairs. She can do more to help pass big-ticket items from her perch in the Senate.

The reason to reject out of hand the idea of Hillary Clinton as VP has nothing to do with November 2008, and everything to do with January 2009.

"how many times has she been the come back kid."

Uh, as of today, exactly 0 times. You're confusing Hillary Clinton with Bill Clinton. You Hillary supporters do that sometimes.

I think Obama is actually polling better against McCain in CA AND NY right now.

I'm sorry, either she should be required to show that her campaign hasn't alienated enough Obama supporters to cost her the general, or her "electability" argument should be shown for the implicitly racist smear that most of us already know it is.

Even though I think you are generally way too nice about Hillary's campaign tactics, i agree with you herw, Greg.

I wan't everybody to be happy by the time November rolls around (except Hillary and anyone intending to vote for Mccain). As long as the delegates in question can't swing the nomination Hillary's way, and won't cause mischief at the convention making Obama look weak, seat them. Hell, seat them all as full delegates if they agree to the foregoing.

"It takes a certain pluck to argue with a whole message board. I hope GOL is just "fighting dirty" because he or she cares, not taking a piss because he or she doesn't."

"Pluck" is not the word I would use in describing goatshite. It is the quintessential troll.
