#1 My prediction, Clinton wins the Democratic nomination and selects Obama as her running mate.

#3 Besoeker, I hope so. Any half-assed political strategist should be able to exploit the rift those two had, "Can you afford to have the pres and vice hating each other?" Absent a major kumbaya moment after the selection the winner may have to take headwards. The closer the "d" race stays the more intense the rivalry will become.

Gawd, watching hillarity and b.o. talk was painful. hillarity had her face of many people crowd behind her with the afro girl holding a Latinos for Hillary! sign. Not the spanish expert but should it not read Los Latinos con Hillary, like in salsa con queso? The lighting for b.o. was so bad it looked like he was in front of a blue screen. Both had the stands behind them packed full, that is until the zoom out and you realize the stand was only as wide as the lens angle - like watching a Royals game; it looks crowded until someone hits a foul ball.

On the "r" side, seeing mcclaim and huckleboy.

Didn't see any talks from the r side, after watching the d part it was bed or heavy drinking.

(folks, once the primaries are over I promise to use more respectful typing as they will be nominees for the presidency). Quick, hillarity needs a new slogan fast even npr notices: Tracks of my Tears -or- Tears of a Clown? Hope Jaquelyn comes back, the wife would love to talk to her about how she (wife) signed off her campaign. In a nutshell theres no crying in ~~baseball~~ politics. "If she can't handle a campaign how she going to handle ahmadinnajad?", "Anyone whose husband cheats on her for 20 years and she sticks with him she is either a walkover or a blackmailing caniving shrew.", "Even if she gets elected president it will be remembered it is because her husband came out and actively campaigned for her. That further women's power? Looks like she went crying home to her husband." Its even better in person - I have to play advocate sometimes (I do consider all candidates thoughtfully) just to keep from cracking up.

But how can B.O. be called a leader and reformer when he has spent so much of his freshman year campaigning for president? A bs poll said 25% of his supporters like him for his political experience..huh?! His mom may be from Kansas but she was a beatnik hippy who ran off at a young age to the west coast and then to Hawaii. KS governor sebelius endorses him and I know about her record vs rhetoric so I am immediately against him on that alone.

#4 I think there is too much bad blood between the two for them to join forces.

I expect Obama to tap Richardson if he wins as he's getting no votes from Latinos and Richardson has some experience if not Charisma.

I have no idea who Hillary would pick as a running mate.

#5 It's difficult for me to see Hillary linking up with Obama. Their egos are too strong to get along. However, I never thought someone with the name Barack Hussein Obama had a chance in hell of making it this far--particularly after 911. Should Hillary become the candidate of the ~~Communist~~ Democrap Party, I wonder who would be her running mate--Barack Obama? Slick Willie? Does anyone get along with this woman? She seems to have a tyrannical streak and she seems to be vindictive and petty also. Is she going to cry her way out of world problems?

#6 For those who are wanting to track Hillary, here is a good resource for past and future strategies : )

#7 I have no idea who Hillary would pick as a running mate.

Herself, of course.
