I smell a bait and switch.

I'm not sure how various state ballot rules bear on the following, but I predict that if the election looks in doubt for Obama, Biden will have another aneurysm, and Hillary will be asked to take his place--firing up her supporters, while leaving little time for the Hillary-haters to counter.

I think Hill's gonna be pegged for a cabinet position, if she plays nice. She'd be good at nearly anything, but she's got to stop trying to tear down his campaign first. She has power but she's using it very unwisely.

Lani and I were talking about that. I don't know if she wants cabinet but I think Obama should (from a political gamesmanship point of view) offer her Justice and a free rein to pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration. She can be the parties holy crusader and be getting personal revenge against many of the same people who caused the Clinton White House so many exaggerated problems.

Seems to me that might get her ardent support (if she's interested at all).

And mine as well.

By the way, someone's already coined the ticket "OBiden" and i like it. Kinda puts Obama's name in the background, but it might diffuse the nimrods who think he's a muslim. They'll be voting for the first black Irish president instead.

Now I wish the roles were switched, just because I think "Joebama" is way better than "Obiden".

I'm not a fan of Chris Matthews but he had a line yesterday I liked (and, showing why I'm not a fan of Chris Matthews, you could tell he was immensely proud of himself) about Biden putting the apostrophe in Obama.

Here's the thing - the Clintons have always put the Clintons first. They have no loyalty to party or anyone. I am convinced that Hillary wants Obama to lose so she can run against McCain in 2012. It's a tough balancing act because she has to give the apeparance of supporting Obama and stab him without it becoming public knowledge that she is Brutus.

That'll be easy...just send in Bill to campaign on Obama's behalf; aside from himself just about everyone Bill campaigns for loses

Sorry, GD, but JoeBama sounds too much like Yo Mama, and in a very Blackie kind of way that's not likely to encourage too many votes for the first African American Presidential Candidate in United States history.

Happily, then, OBiden it is!

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I haven't seen it if it has. Also, can't really hurt to post it again.
