I would like to see Clinton.
The problem is that he has made such a BIG BUILD-UP that almost anyone but Hillary will be a letdown in terms of media excitement.
However, if it is Clinton, then they are both GREAT ACTORS. Just to be silly, I know a Tarot reader who said that if it is NOT Clinton that Clinton is actually not going to be hurt at all by the primary. She thinks it's optomistic for Clinton and she also says that Barack Obama is holding a SECRET. Well, I guess that last is certainly true.
If it is Biden, I can accept it.
However, almost any other candidate mentioned, is a bit of a snore. I can just see it now. Everyone is eagerly waiting for their text messages and they get one that reads: It's Chet Edwards!
And everyone says: Who?
Mark Shields on the News Hour just indictated that 11% of voters (mostly women) who were Clinton supporters are willing to vote for down-ticket Dems but not Obama. These people are not Republicans.
No, Obama doesn't have to pick Hillary, but he'd better pick someone as exciting as Clinton. Who would that be?
Not Bayh.
Not Kaine.
Not Sebelius.
Not Edwards.
Not even Biden.
If he can draw Gore, then yes he will get big bounce.
Given the way Obama is playing this, I think it could be Clinton.
Soon, we will all know.
