Political JUNGLE

The word from Hillary’s camp is that she’s officially going to drop out of the race on Saturday.  Although technically she is reportedly only going to suspend her campaign.  This will simply allow her to continue raising money to pay off her debt, and retain her delegates.  This is not the shock wave it would of been a couple weeks ago, as many in Washington were expecting this announcement as early as Tuesday evening.  

What is the current craze though is the discussion of Obama’s running mate.  Its frightening and downright shocking that the Democrats want Hillary to be VP.  This may round up all the Democrats, but not one single Republican, or independent would pull the lever for that ticket.  As mentioned in earlier blogs, Obama will appear weak the more he plays the victim, but if he chooses Hillary he will look even weaker.  

Any clear minded person would understand that Obama chose her simply because of the pressure applied to him from the party, and the political statement of a woman in the office and the idea that all women would therefore blindly vote for Obama/Clinton.  

As a side note, there was supposedly a 3 minute private conversation on the senate floor between Obama and Lieberman, McCain’s Independent friend, as pointed out at Obama on Clinton: We’ll be talking. That would be an interesting choice for Obama, although very unlikely and something I can’t see him doing.  

This process of choosing a Vice President is silly and tiring.  It all comes down to who they think can round up the voters that they otherwise wouldn’t, and many times that person is’nt the best candidate for the job.  Check out one of my previous blogs on what it would look like with Hillary and Bill Clinton running the White House as VP’s with Obama sitting in the oval office twiddling his thumbs, and therefore why he won’t choose her.   The Clinton Double Ticket.
