If Obama is unelectable (as some nimrods say), then Hillary is still far less electable. Fortunately

[Stop Cornyn]

McCain is even less electable than either.

It's a shame we didn't nominate a great progressive Democrat like Edwards, who would be lining up a Johnson/Goldwater style sweep, but I'll happily take my chances with Obama.

Frankly, there are Republicans I'd vote for before I'd vote for Hillary.

Thankfully, it won't come to that because (1) Hillary won't be our nominee and (2) even if Obama were hit by a bus tomorrow and Hillary won the nomination (I think that's her most likely pathway to the nomination at this point) McCain isn't one of the few Republicans I'd vote for over Hillary so there is no danger I won't be voting for the Democratic nominee for the first time ever, but Hillary is unequivocally the worst Democratic candidate to have gotten this far in the process during my lifetime so let's be glad McCain is such a tool.

I am officially offering Hillary this as a new campaign slogan:

HILLARY '08 - IF OBAMA GETS HIT BY A BUS, LET'S ALL BE GLAD McCAIN IS SUCH A TOOL

1. Look at it this way

The game has not changed. Hillary was 16 points ahead. And with all she threw at Obama, he still gained ground. Hillary won by about 9 points, far from the blow-out she needed.

It's time for Hillary and Obama to make a deal that suits both of them.

2. I think they're going to end up doing that, for better or worse.

It's not what either side wants, but it will win, whereas either candidate alone probably can't win in the GE. Maybe that was Hillary's plan all along. Who knows.

3. Hillary brings little to the ticket. I think Richardson is a better VP choice for Obama.

4. Richardson is a lousy campaigner

Hillary, on the other hand, has run a very competitive campaign that reaches people Obama does not reach. In terms of winning (as opposed to governng) Hillary is by far Obama's best choice for a running mate.

5. Perhaps Richardson is a weak campaigner, but Hillary alienates more voters than she attracts. As a

first principle for selecting a VP, we should select a candidate who does not harm. That AIN'T Hillary.

6. I don't think so. She's too divisive. What state does she bring into the W column?
