Looks like Obama made it to a major party candidate.

I still don't know what to make of the dude, though.

For some reason I keep getting these calls at the house from the Republican National Committee, so I decide to answer one, and the first question they ask is "Who is the greater threat to America: Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama?"
So I asked him how often he beat his wife.

Holy shit, did they actually do that? We had some RNC guy call us up at home the other day, actually. I told him "Buddy, you are so barking up the wrong tree, you have NO idea."

He can't. His whole campaign was about OMG CHANGE. Making Clinton the VP is basically saying "Yeah, I was bullshitting about the whole change thing. Status Quo AHOY!"

It'll have to be somebody not as, uh, 'established' as Hillary.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #8 on:** June 04, 2008, 12:13:16 PM »

Not to mention, picking Clinton as a VP doesn't help him in any swing states (NY is a shoe-in already for him).

A better choice for Obama VP would be Jim Webb or Bill Richardson.

It's already been well reported that Obama's told Hillary "Hell NO". And not that my opinion counts (being Canadian), but I think that's the right answer not only for the reasons stated above, but because she (and her camp) dragged this shit out way past the point of reason, and she shouldn't be rewarded for it.

Exactly. A relatively unknown running mate would be his best choice.

Apparently the governor of my state (Arizona) is one (of many) names on the list: Janet Napolitano. She'd bring in the females, the hispanics, the west, and possibly some of the more centrist Republicans.

I'm with you guys though, I think if he puts Clinton on the ticket then he's out of his mind.

Correction: a drinking Clinton avatar.

For the record, I'm not even remotely a Hillary supporter. The pictures just cracked me up.

A few months ago, I said no matter the outcome, it will be historic. A man of color, a woman or an old Nam vet would become President -- a historic first in any case.

However, I will make no secret of this: I think Hill should've won. Her campaign was botched and outspent. I am convinced she would be the better President of the three. Obama the worst. That is my considered opinion as someone who's been fascinated by national politics since 1976.

I have heard every speech in every primary since then. Most of them are pretty much the same. But only two candidates have had an unusual effect on large crowds: Reagan and Obama. Hackles go up when I see that kind of effect on people, the same hackles that went up when all the flags appeared on every car in America after 9/11. It's scary, and I don't like it. Mass mind is not a good thing.

In the last few months, the internets have become increasingly hostile and repulsive to someone of my ilk. The internets are Obama country. I have found out that, apparently, I am a moron and a racist. And probably a fat hysterical old white woman. Who is bitter. And a moron. Did I mention moron?

Welp, I just have to sit on the sidelines and stare in stunned disbelief as platoons of otherwise fairly intelligent young people fall into line and take up the marching orders. Gobble up the speeches with no substance. Chant meaningless mantras.

Good Lord.

About half of all voters are behind McCain. The second half is split right down the middle: all you college educated affluent lilberals on one side, and all us secretly racist hillbilly liberals on the other. If you don't find a way to make nice to your fellow non-Republicans, you might as well vote for Nader.

Makes me wonder just how many liberals shrieking into the cameras about how much of a great man Obama is and how NOT RACIST they by voting for him will feverishly write in Hillary Clinton when it gets down to the actual voting.

If Obama loses, I doubt it will be due to rampant racism in this country. It will be because nobody knows just what the hell his plans actually are.

Concur. At least, with Clinton, I could honestly say I disagreed with some of her policies and plans. I don't even know what Obama's are, so I can't really agree or disagree with them. That makes it confusing as hell.

Going by his Senate voting record, Obama makes Edward Kennedy look like Pat Buchanan.
