Now that Barack Obama has unveiled his brilliant foreign policy strategy of cozying up to our enemies and bombing our allies, he has pretty much eliminated any chance of his being elected president. Even the Democrats have seemed to recognize that he should be back in the Illinois legislature, voting on highway bills.
However, he is still very popular among a segment of the population who admire a good speech over experience and sound logic. The consensus still seems to be that a Hillary-Obama ticket would be all but unbeatable, and therefore Hillary is sure to give him the nod to be her V.P.
I say, No Way!
Hillary’s ego could not allow this to happen. She is still trying to figure out how to cash in on Bill’s popularity without him being within three states distance of her. Imagine her standing at the Democratic convention between Bill and Barack. The oxygen would be sucked out of the room by the both of them so quickly, that Hillary would be left in a vacuum. She doesn’t want to spend her presidency, worrying about college girls (and the media) swooning over Barack’s latest speech or ribbon-cutting photo op.
No, Hillary will pick someone solid and dependable. She wants someone with enough experience and knowledge to put up a good front, but not someone who will hog her spotlight. She wants someone bland and boring.
I say she picks Bill Richardson to be her running mate.
