An Historic Night…at last!
It has been about 15 months since this campaign actually started last year. It has been five months since the first voting started in Iowa when Obama stunned the world by beating Hillary. And now, finally, at last, this primary contest is over. As I write this tonight, Obama is 10 delegates away from having the 2118 delegates needed to clinch and own the nomination. He will be receiving at least 14-16 delegates from Montana and South Dakota and that will put him over the top definitively (if it doesn’t happen before the end of those contests at 10pm EST).
One commandment I have to Barack–DO NOT CHOOSE HILLARY AS VP. I would literally puke. But I really don’t think he will, no matter how desperately and shamefully she begs for the VP slot. I could go on and on about this and how bad it would be, but I am really very confident he will not choose her because he has said in the past that the country needs to turn the page from the Bush and Clintons. Bye bye Billary.
More later….
Here’s an interesting tidbit about demands for Vice-Presidency and the Obama response. Not sure if its particularly true or not. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/6/3/205157/8042/178/528656

Obama should not, under any circumstances, choose Hillary as VP. After saying that though, it would be naive of Obama to not have Hillary contribute to his campaign for the presidency in some way. I think the best solution would be to offer Hillary a role in his presidency (obviously not VP) if she were to help campaign for him. I think promising her a cabinet position (if she so desired) would be a good idea for Obama.
He did it - no, he told us, WE did it!
HRC for VP? HECK TO THE NO. That self-serving speech put the death blow to that idea I hope. She can be health care czar or something. Whatever.
Go Obama!
So, I was just curious Gus, would you still vote for Obama with HRC as the VP?
Yes I would. But I wouldn’t appreciate it. I mean the policy differences between Obama and McCain are just so big putting HRC on the ticket isn’t going to drive me away. And as long as he’s in charge, I’m happy. I seriously doubt he will choose her though, it just doesn’t jive with his message and style. Not sure who I am for as VP though.
Hey Gus, what would you think of having John Edwards as Obama’s VP? I was thinking about it and thought it might be a good fit. Now I’m not really that in tune with the Democratic party so I thought I would run it by you. Edwards as VP could make for a strong ticket, I think.
