If I was Obama...

[LuckyTheDog]

I would give Hillary just about anything she wants. She has earned respect and has a solid hand to play. But she also should know that taking the fight to the convention (the "Tonya Harding" option) won't help anyone. So it is time for her to make a deal.

If it comes down to taking Hillary in as a running mate and giving her a Cheney-like role in the administration, Obama should do that.

In the end, serving as a strong vice president would give Hillary far more power than the has as a senator or had as first lady. It would be a good deal for her. And if the delegate totals were reversed, I'd call that a good deal for Obama, too.

1. A seat on the USSC would kill IMHO

[LSparkle]

OMG -- that would be GREAT!

Just imagine the looks on the faces of Scalia, Thomas and Alito when
SHE walks in ... John Roberts might be the "Chief Justice" but in
name only; she'd RUN that Court!

8. That would be awesome

If that's what she wants, then Obama should offer it.

2. No. Thanks, but NO.

:thumbsdown:

9. And the alternative is what?

Political murder/suicide?

3. I'd rather we get rid of that worthless enabler Harry Reid

4. 2,025 yet?

Didn't think so.

Next.



(Not big on double posts, but since it seems fashionable, I thought I'd join you in taking up more bandwidth.)

6. Hillary can't get there either

We both know what the situation is. And, as far as I am concerned, political murder/suicide should not be an option.

10. See you in Denver!

:hi:


We'll work it out there.

Just like the old days.

11. So, you want to lose in November?

Is McCain a better option, in your opinion, than Obama?

I have already said that, if the situation was reversed, I'd want Obama to take a deal. We have to keep our eye on the prize here. And a convention fight in Denver won't help us win.

13. Such a defeatist attitude.

See you in Denver.

5. What's with all this "Tonya Harding" talk? I remind you, after all, that Nancy Kerrigan...

did take the Silver Medal that year!

Um.... nevermind.

12. I think it would be too hard

for Obama, running as a Washington Outsider, Mr. New Politics, to run with the most politically connected washington insider ever.
but that's just me...
