Yeah, I didn't see that one coming. And what's funny about it, was that I was thnking about it from Obama's perspective. I still don't think he would want her on the ticket, and certainly doesn't need Bill "backseat" driving in the fall and for 4 years in the white house.
Obama: Okay, I'm going to set up a summit meeting with Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Iran....
Bill: :eyeroll: Um. Mr. President? I'm not saying that you shouldn't do that, but here's what I would have done.
Obama: (oh fuck, not again).
But, as I was watching her talk last night, it was so friggin obvious. She asked all 18 million of "her" voters to log into her website and tell her what to do. Tell her what to do? There is only one thing she is fishing for. If even half of them log in and say "Be our next vice-president". Then she is going to come back out and say, "The people have spoken. I have to do this."
And at that point, wtf can obama do? He either turns his back on nearly half of his party or has to do it.
Kennedy had to nearly be forced to take LBJ to be his running mate. They fucking hated each other. Kennedy was the junior senator and LBJ was the guy with all of the experience. Sam Rayburn made him take LBJ.
Also, if you think about it. Pelosi is speaker of the House. Clinton would be president of the Senate. That in itself would be pretty fucking historic. And it puts Clinton at the top of the "Women Food Chain". I don't think she's ever liked the fact that Pelosi is now the most powerful woman in America.
