GOP: Here's to Hillary's big party!

Nothing would delight Republicans more than for the Clintons to upstage Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention.

    @ Uncle Fester

    I don't think Hillary only brings postives. I think she and Biden are about even as to their actual burdens. Hillary brings Bill and Biden brings his mouth.

    Sure there are more things to consider than whether or not a veep boosts a candidates electability. If Obama is smart, he should be considering someone who complements him a bit and who could actually be president should the worst happen.

    Well, we shall see by the time he is in Illinois tomorrow. I am not going to stay up all night waiting for some text message.

    Let us all hope for the sake our nation that he chooses wisely. I think winning is wise.
