32. That's a big part of it...
Edited on Thu Apr-24-08 11:24 PM by TwoSparkles
If he picks Pelosi--it takes the edge off of him not picking Hillary. It demonstrates
that he is more than willing to select a woman--and that he reveres women and will leverage
a woman---IF that woman is not only intelligent and experienced---but decent, gracious and
a respectable, honorable person. Unlike Hillary.

Can you just hear Obama announcing that his running mate is Pelosi? He'll list off REAL
accomplishments, REAL experience and she's the Speaker of The House.

The choice alone makes Hillary look lesser than. The choice would make sense to Democrats--and it
would demonstrate to many Hillary supporters that it's not about gender--it's about the person, and
Pelosi's experience, demeanor, honesty and stature tower above Clinton's.

People will understand, respect and be excited about that choice.

I think it would be a brilliant move.

Plus, she's from California!
