SECOND PLACE IS A SET OF STEAK KNIVES
Jun. 6th, 2008 07:20 pmIt’s a sign of the times when you get off the airplane and meet the bridal unit for dinner in a nearby restaurant to rip up some chickens, and the first thing she asks is, “So, do you think Obama will ask Hillary to be his vice president?”
That’s the level of fascination the Rest Of The World has with the Obama/Clinton Affair at the moment. It’s the best show on TV apart from the local dramas. Why split up the Dream Now?
It’s all speculation now, of course, but I’m really not sure how I feel about it. I understand the concept of Unity Theory – she can fortify his lack of experience and keep the voters that supported her in the fold, etc.
Or maybe not.
Well, that’ll keep the race interesting. It’ll be even more interesting if John McCain follows![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
bedsitter23’s advice and recruits Hillary as his running mate. It’s not like Republicans aren’t seriously considering it.
That said, I’m still skeptical that Hillary fans can keep their hate on for that long. Are they really going to vote for a guy who just admitted if he was president, he’d secretly spy on Americans without warrants (just like Bush has), just to get back at that misogynist bastard Obama?
Then again, maybe it’s as well. Team Def has received word that Junior Bush has an exit strategy for Iraq that involves basically keeping us there forever, which means Obama may not be able to end the war even if he wants to. Nice one.
As for Obama/Clinton, the bridal unit and I were on a similar wavelength – I have a hard time picturing Hillary settling for Second Banana, and an even harder time imagining them working well together without her (and her husband) trying to upstage Obama. Imagine the fun of the President and VP and their spouses traveling places. You’d have at least two presidents in one place, which is probably unconstitutional or something.
On the other hand, who else is Obama going to pick? John Edwards? Al Gore? Shotgun Joe Lieberman? Oprah? Martin Sheen?
Let’s watch, shall we?
Run with me,
