Hillary/Obama?

[Nbadan]

"Senator Barack Obama has been pretty giddy about the speculation that he might run for President. He is an exciting political force and seems fresh, somewhat innoncent, inspiring.

But behind the energetic spontaneity exists a cautious calculator. He knows that he is vastly out-gunned by Hillary Clinton as things stand -- and though she may be telling the truth to her New York cons uents that she has made "no decisions" about running for the Presidency, everyone around her has decided (essentially) that she will run.

Obama, despite the feverish speculation, is RUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

I was in Senator Jay Rockefeller's office the day that Joe Lieberman lambasted on the Senate floor President Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Rockefeller was furious with Lieberman and roared that Lieberman had just issued his first salvo in a quest to be Gore's VP running mate.

The Lieberman speech happened way before anyone thought he had a chance at the VP slot -- all except Rockefeller, and Lieberman himself.

My hunch is that Obama is setting himself up to be Hillary's running mate. Probably more likely with Hillary than John Edwards.

Clinton and Obama would actually be a pretty impressive ticket. "

The Washington Note

Two words for Obama: Colin Powell.

head is pimping Hillary, saying she would be a formidable opponent.

I would seriously consider voting for Obama. Hillary has too much baggage and would be an easy target for opposing campaigns.

I really don't think either could win given the segregationist south. One minority would be difficult enough, but two? forget it.

But he is so pretty and Oprah loves him to death.

Of course, wonder if he worrys about the contract the
Clintons more than likely have out for him. They
have a real dislike for people who don't conform to
their wishes.
