Let's say it gets down to Obama/Clinton on the same ticket. Some say Hill wouldn't settle for Veep, but cynics think she would, realizing that even before the election, some harm may come to her running mate.
Not 'Vinced,' exactly ... but the fear is that there are a few extreme conservatives, of the Cheney persuation (IOW: the cabal who took care of JFK)... who might be that desperate. IOW that there are a few well-placed bigots in the Pentagon, CIA etc, who think that they could not ever, never-ever, tolerate a black liberal President who would cut the Military budget in half as the first order of business. .... of course, for some liberals, Obama is not "black enough" being half-and-half. For me, I look at the situation metaphorically: kinda like O'Bama, of the silver-tongued black-Irish tradition... Anyway, there is no doubt that McCain is very shrewd old-time Politico, dirty-trick genius etc, and knows that he has got the conservative and religious right vote *no matter what*... (a huge luxury) ... so that the best way that he can manipulate the situation, and nullify the huge turnout for Obama (assuming he survives) AND Hill !! and using the analogy of this subject line - is to trump both the scissors and the paper by bringing out the red-hot rock that burns paper and to: Ta-da ... recruit a black woman as running mate. So happens there is the perfect candidate for that job waiting in the wings.... Signed, Harry Tuttle Spin-Doctor-Deluxe
