Obama's VP pick re: lay off the Dem bashing
let me just put this out there.....

do we have to let VP speculation turn into Let's-kick-John-Kerry-in-the-balls-day? really?

do we really have to rehash Clark's attacks on McCain and all the people who are pissed that Obama didn't go out and risk his candidacy to back up an honest, but politically unsavy attack?

do we have to argue who's the most polarizing candidate between Clinton and Kerry? -and then let that degenerate into more Primaries rehash? uhgggg!!!!!!

I'd be willing to put money that Obama will ultimately pick some complete dark horse candidate that no one is thinking of right now. who's with me?

1. If people do not prefer a particular potential VP candidate, are they allowed to say why?
Who gets to decide what is bashing or what is the constructive criticism with which we are so familiar here?

3. We have to rehash this
if you're still saying that Gen. Clark attacked McCain. When calling someone a hero amounts to trashing the world is truly upside down.

My only hope is that Obama doesn't force me to vote for some hack like Bayh, or a republican.

Get a grip, people!

We don't have a damn thing to say about who Obama ultimately picks as a veep co-candidate -- nor, quite frankly, *should* we.

Get a grip, y'all.

All this meaningless angst-ridden master-debating does is to lower the signal-to-noise ratio in terms of the public discourse even further than it had already sunk.

Please, go do something more constructive rather than pursuing this pointles e-sturm-und-drang -- like, Goddess forbid, putting down your keyboards and volunteering to go out and knock on doors for your local Dem candidates instead.

*sheesh*
