Based on the campaign cycle, why not just move up the election a year?

That said, I do believe she and Obama on the same ticket have a lot more chance of winning in the fall.

Obama winning on his own is all well and good for high school track.  For the presidency of this country with so much at stake, if Hillary increases the Dem's chances of winning (and I believe she does,) then I hope A) Obama offers her the vice-presidential slot, and B) Hillary takes it.

We must not underestimate the neocons and their dirty tricks.  Hillary has as good a shot as any of derailing them while Obama can be the unity man.

I predicted that Obama would win the nomination, in part because the neocons wanted him to.  Yes, he has a true, great following, but I can't explain the Mouth Piece Media's consistent and continuous praise of Obama and damnation of Hillary any other way.  While misogyny is true and real and was ever-present, it also made a nice cover.

I also predicted and do predict that the media will drop their love-affair with Obama and grow increasingly more negative.  Hillary can call them out every time and deconstruct their BS.

Here's the web site:

The problem with Hillary is that she is head and shoulders above him on so many issues and in so many areas.  How does she, for example, go out and sell the Obama health care plan that she knows and 18 million + of us know is inferior to her own?  

If she's in the Senate, she's in a better position to put together health care legislation that she knows will be better than that watered down thing Obama calls a plan.  Maybe, like Jeralyn, her usefulness is in holding Obama to a higher standard, and pushing him on issues he's happy to ignore.

To my way of thinking, what comes out of the Congress will only be as strong as the people in it - and what we have seen in the last 2 years tells me that we are a long, long way from being strong.  Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi need to go and in their stead we need people who understand what leadership is; unfortunately, if Obama wins, you aren't going to see that kind of change - you are going to see the Obama version: more jello.

First, he won't be standing on his own, he hasn't done that for one minute this campaign.

The DNC and Dem Leaders anointed him the Chosen One, and were willing to steal her delegates to do it.  They chose him to lead their purge of all things Clinton, or working class, or feminist, or older, or minority other than AA from the party.  They created their own crucible; let them win or fail the test on their own.

I wanted this to be a Democratic presidency this cycle too.  I did not want 4 more years of Republicans.  But I no longer see that as the choice.  I'd rather trade 4 years of McCain now than 4 or 8 or 12 or 16 years of Republicans starting 4 years from now.  I'm much more afraid of Republicans who have time to regroup and organize themselves for an assault on a Jimmy Carter Redux presidency than to give that role to McCain now.

I believe Obama needs to win the White House on his own, with support from those who believe he's the best choice for the country. While I believe he's a far better choice than John McCain, I don't believe we should force Hillary into thinking she owes it to him or the party to be on his ticket. She's given enough.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more.

Hillary Clinton's spokesman, Howard Wolfson, sent out this message today:

    "While Senator Clinton has made clear throughout this process that she will do whatever she can to elect a Democrat to the White House, she is not seeking the vice presidency, and no one speaks for her but her. The choice here is Senator Obama's and his alone."

Interesting. Hope it's just a chat--not sure I want her running with him....
