#25 "What happens when she drops a big smelly bowl of scandal on the annointed one" Did Hil pick up his check for the $10-mil yet? If so, all bets are off. |

#24 Biden has a few skeletons in his closet. Hope McCain remembers even if the MSM doesn't. |

#23 ...Hillary Clinton gets the first night and the first vote, and Code Pink, the SDS, the anarchists, and a group of angry clowns are planning mischief and mayhem outside. Will there be Puppets? I really like the Puppets. Clowns, not so much. |

#21 Ya know, the last election I didn't think the Democrats could pick a worse candidate than John Kerry. Never underestimate the power of the Democrats to pick terrable candidates. |

#20 from Ace of Spades: Yesterday Joe Biden tried to tamp down speculation that he would not be Obama's VP pick by saying, "I'm not the guy". Many took that to mean, he was not the pick. Turns out that wasn't what Biden meant. A Biden source told us not to read too much into his "IÂ’m-not-the-guy" statement, saying he was pretending not to be Biden -- rather than stating he wasnÂ’t going to be ObamaÂ’s VP. Pretending not to be himself? Oh my, an Obama/Biden ticket would be the best. Let's face it, we don't want Biden on the Democratic ticket. We NEED him on that ticket. LOL!!1!! |

#19 or deep... something Joe's never been accused of is "deep", but his plugs? |

#18 That's cuz they put his plugs in too tight. |

#17 Slow Joe would be delicious in a VP campaign slot. There's absolutely no telling what could pop out of his mouth at any time |

#16 Biden as Prez? He's wanted it. There're a bunch of good reasons he never made much headway to a nomination. |

#15 Running mates are for lesser candidates. The One will run alone, as is meet for a messiah. He shall instead, appoint a group of Companions. Disciples, if you will, who shall bring the Word to a desperate populace in dire need of the Message. |

#14 The "trigger event" in Chicago in 68 was a phonecall made by some Kansas Democratic grand poobah, whose wife looked out the window of the current Hilton Hotel and got an eyeful of some "Free Lovin" by the "dirty smelly hippies" camping in Grant Park. A phonecall was made to Mayor Daley to "clean this up"... He handled it all right. |

#13 Please be Sebelius so western kansas can receive the economic stimulus received by building the two clean coal fired generating stations that she has vetoed three times. |

#12 I was too young to see the Democratic convention in 1968, and this one bids well to be '68 repeated as farce. the party was actually deeply divided in 1968, Bobby Kennedy had just been shot, there were still more less segregationist Dems from the south who were steaming mad, there were all the mournful RFK supporters, there was incredible dissension inside the convention. And outside there were massive protests (recall that we still had the draft in those days, lots more incentive to protest) and a Chicago Pol Dept that did NOT have "sensitivity training" The code pinkers are laughable to begin with, and the media wont care about them now that Iraq is off the headlines. And police depts have had 40 years learning how to deal with that stuff. Carter will be put on when no ones listening. The Clintons will probably give good speeches, theyre pretty good at that. Kerry - one hopes hes put on late, for those us needing a non-prescription sleep aid. Al gore isnt all that bad a speech maker. but the main thing is that it looks like the clean articulate guy is going to pick for VEEP someone who is actually fully qualified to be President. The main thing wrong with an Obama-Biden ticket is that the names are in the wrong order. |

#11 Rod Blagojevich - to save him from jail time? |

#10 Wonder if they will have all those Chucky Cheez backstage passes swept up before the Packers game. VP pick, my take is that he has no choices and will be deflating no matter whom is chosen. Prediction: another vacation is already in the works. |

#9 Gee, Hillary is up first. What happens when she drops a big smelly bowl of scandal on the annointed one along with a request to the super-delegates to consider the election. I know that this is just a fantasy of mine BUT the stars seem to be heading in that direction with the latest seeping out about CAC, Ayers, Klonsky, etc. Gotta lay in a supply of popcorn just in case. |

#8 They can't save it, James. They need to print up all the signs, balloons, etc. and produce all the spin to use at the convention. |

#7 Or... monkeys could fly outta my butt! Which is more likely? |

#6 His running mate is a bowel of tapioca pudding. |

#5 Are you kidding, James? I wouldn't miss it for anything! Carter, Gore, and Kerry were just announced as speakers, Hillary Clinton gets the first night and the first vote, and Code Pink, the SDS, the anarchists, and a group of angry clowns are planning mischief and mayhem outside. I was too young to see the Democratic convention in 1968, and this one bids well to be '68 repeated as farce. |

#4 Wouldn't he save the announcement for the convention? Maybe people would tune in for a little of it then.. |

#3 My money is on Pelosi's Cappo, Joe Biden. She will have to keep a short leash on Obama. Joe is just the man to do it, and report back to her on an hourly basis. |

#2 Maybe he'll go way out on a limb and pick McCain. |

#1 I'm hoping for a change by Him picking Gov. Kaine. Bumper stickers: OK 4 U! On sale soon! |
