Oh, lord, all this hand-wringing about Bill's ego, Hillary's PUMA misfits and the Decline of Western Civilization as we know it. It's so silly, because by the time November 4 rolls around and the debates are over, there isn't a Democrat in the country who will vote for John McCain. Obama's poll numbers ROSE 3 points after the Hilton ad, which few have bothered to report.
Bill Clinton is set to speak before the VP on Wednesday night. This means it's not going to be Richardson. Bill will want to set up the entrance of the future VP and he's not going to appear if the choice is someone who has stabbed him in the back. I think the Clintons know far more about Obama's VP plans than anyone thinks and conventional wisdom says that it will be Clinton's favorite, Evan Bayh.
I am beginning to think this has all been very carefully planned and that Bill will introduce Hillary as the VP...and, according to the script, the place will go nuts.
Streisand will appear, sing "Happy Days Are Here Again" and all is well in conventionland.
