    Re People hate HRC

    I am sure that some people, that really like HRC, or that hate Black people might have very negative feelings about BO. But the bottom line is that a huge part of the population want nothing to do with the Clinton's. So given that they are both centrist legislatures that have successful careers. But neither has much executive experience and they will likely make very similar decisions.

    Explain why running HRC is worth risk? They are both fine candidates. BO attracts young people and independents who normally don't vote. By now there is no way they could share a ticket. So given an either or choice... Weigh the risks.

    Just because his wife call's him stinky doesn't mean you should call him BO - :)
