I have a feeling Sat. will be a joint appearance now, and VP becomes an attainable goal for her should she want it.  If she is on, I'll vote for him, if not, the chances drop pretty quickly.

I know Majority Leader has been deemed impossible, but if Barack and his Senate supporters want to win the GE (and I know they don't necessarily care about the GE, they just want to destroy the Clintons) they'll swallow their pride, just like her supporters have to do and do what's right.  If she becomes ML due to his help as a thank you for her support, he'll have my vote then too.

If this defecation on HRC and on her supporters, then screw them in Hell.  My thoughts at least.

They sent Antonia home?!?!?! She's a far better cook than Lisa.

And then Lisa goes into that whole "congratulate me" thing.

He's not making any offers of VP, he just set up his team for vetting the people on his list.

"Will you join us and make a contribution right now to help us elect Barack Obama?"

"This is an example of the kind of White House Barack Obama would run."

"Help Elect Barack Obama!"

This elicited my response:
"Last I checked, Hillary Clinton is still a candidate until she suspends her campaign on Saturday.  She received over 18 million votes, more than ANY other primary candidate in history, including Barack Obama.  Show her the respect of witholding your Obama coronation emails UNTIL she has officially suspended her campaign and endorsed Obama."

I wanted to stand for election as a delegate for Hillary at my county caucus in Montana this evening, with the idea that maybe I could become a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Denver and support Hillary through to the very end of what has been a truly eye-opening and disillusioning process.  So, I jumped through all the hoops to do so, and then gave up at the last one:  in order to stand for election I was required to sign what seems to me to be the kissing cousin of a loyalty oath.  Among other things, I had to "pledge that, if elected, I will not publicly support or campaign for any other candidate for President or Vice-President other than the nominess of the Democratic National Convention."

Well, like many of you, I have decided I cannot support Senator Obama and may decide to publicly support Senator McCain or the candidate of another party (Bob Barr, for instance).  So, because I do not sign pledges lightly, I was prohibited from becoming a delegate for Hillary.  The more I thought about this, I realized I probably could not even have signed this if Hillary had prevailed.  Who can ever know for certain whether at some point their candidate might do something so awful they would feel duty bound to support another candidate?

I demonstrated against the Vietnam War and was beaten many times by the police.  I have spent my own money and time in every election since 1972 - after my generation actually fought and won the right to vote for 18-year-olds in 1971 - going to places the Democrats needed help with to assist their candidate in winning elections.  I have spent countless thousands of hours on phone banks, on street corners - asking for signatures to get the ERA passed, for example, at malls, knocking on doors, bringing in voters to the polls - all in the name of advancing socially progressive issues and a sustainable earth policy in America.  

Apparently he was not willing to meet with Hillary without preconditions...

"Ahem.  Um.  Er.  Well..."

"Barack.  Is there something you want to say?"

"Mmmmm...damn!  Yes - no - I don't know..."

"Uh. Barack, what are you looking for?"

"Oh, nothing - I thought I saw a tele...a teleprom...damn! - a tel-e-prompter over in the corner."

"No, Barack, those are lucite bookends - sorry.  Is there something you wanted to discuss, because I'd really like to get a nice hot shower and get into bed."

"Oh...okay.  Well...I just wanted to say that I, I, uh, well, I don't think I can do this without you."

"What - speak up, I can't hear you!"

"Ahem...I. don't. think, I can, um, er, do this...without you."

"What do you mean?  All this time, you've been carrying on about how "old politics" I am, and how I'm a '60's relic - what the heck do you need me for?"

"Oh, Hillary - I can't say, 'me, too' anymore because you're not there to answer all the questions first and I don't know what to say!  I have a health plan, right?  Is it a good one - people keep wanting me to talk about it, and I don't know - someone on my staff wrote it and I just don't get it."

"Well.  Interesting.  That's too...rich, I mean, too bad."

"What do I do?  What do I say?"
