Could Hillary be Veep?


Whether Barack wants it or not? Bob Beckel says "Count on it."

I like Beckel, that having been said the whole premise of the article is that once the primaries are over and the Super Delegates are committed that the Democrat Party will want to remain fractured going into the Fall Election. The VP nomination will be key to a Democrat Victory in the Fall, do the math. Those two on the same ticket will do nothing to broaden the scope of appeal the Democrats will need to beat McCain. Those two on the same ticket would be tantamount to tying two cats together by their tails with a short length of rope and then throwing them over a tree branch. The Democrats don’t need that, what they need is to broaden their appeal. Face it people are sick of the Clinton's, hence Obama's rise.

I hate to admit when Danny's right, but this is one of those times.
How about Joe Biden? Now there's a man who is easy to like and has A LOT of experience in International politics.

The man is a pathological liar and plagiarist, with all the charm and poise of a Rabid Opossum. The Democrats have to do a lot better than him in the VP slot.

Joe Kennedy! Unless, (sigh, sniff, sniff) he decides to run for his uncle's seat.
