    Default Inside info?? Senator Clinton offerd VP spot!

    A just got an email from my former roomate from when I lived in D.C., he claims that a friend of his works high up with the Obama camp and that Senator Clinton has accepted the VP spot, when they will anounce this is unknown.

    I dont know how reliable this info is, and I dont claim to have access to great info, but I can say my former roomate is pretty trustworthy.

    Things are getting pretty interesting!

    I can't see how this makes sense. Unless it's some sort of electoral thingy, to unite the party. But, I pretty much suck at this horse race stuff, so what the hell do I know

    i was really looking forward to voting democrat.
    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

    It is never a good choice to ask a backstabber to be your back-up. If he wins with her as VP, it going to be an unreal drama for the next 4 years.

    If it was true, then I'd expect Clinton to be with him in St. Paul tonight.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    I think it makes sense, there are a lot of people (mostly older women) who feel alienated by Sen. Clinton loosing.

    Senator Clinton is not hated as badly as I thought, hell even McCain has been praising her, and the Clintons bring fundraising and relationships to the table that will be key to a successfull administration. I think he gains more votes than he loses by bringing her on, and he will pick up Arkansas.

    Yup, and from what I hear, she is planning to be in NYC, so maybe its not true.

    Unless they are waiting to anounce it later for some reason.

    It would be a disaster. You are thinking of only the wedding day and not the marriage.

    Personally, I belive she wants the spotlight too much to be a good VP. But she is good at biding her time!

    Its hard to see how choosing her as VP as his first official decision would be consistant with the CHANGE message.
