    the only black and white issue here is that the white lady is blackmailing the Democratic party. I suspect her chief concern is getting someone else to bail her out of her mismanaged campaign's huge debt. There may be the leveraging of a VP slot, but Obama is many things and stupid is not among them. why on earth, after the performance of the last couple months, underlined emphatically last night by billary's egocentric speech, would he want to run with a millstone around his neck? That, and her almost Cheneyesque negatives, which would draw the fascist base out in numbers that would partially negate the wave of new and enthusiastic voters. Rodham does get some credit for those new voters, but the lions share goes to the nominee, Barack Obama. The nominee. As of last night. The nominee. did you read about his speech before AIPAC today? Just as good as his brilliance speech last night. He's The Natural, only not Robert Redford- more Denzel Washington.
