So it seems
That Obama has recieved the nomination and Hillary says "I'm open to it..." with regards to the VP. This should be interesting, considering all the things they've said about eachother. Friends close, enemies closer sort of thing?

I assume you can hold a tune much better than I can. I'll give you the honors.

Trust me, mine's worse. Animal Control came by my house, thinking I was abusing a dozen or so cats as I was trying to sing some Sting songs.
Dave, what do you know about surfing? You're from Goddamn New Jersey.
Edit: Fucking typo.

Don't feel bad. They stopped by Sting's house, too.

aceofspades - Hillary seeks private meeting with Obama; also seeks private shovel, private bag of lime, private space along highway to bury something

Re: So it seems
Reading the reaction over at NRO, I've gotta wonder, has K-Lo been drinking again?
t's Not Sexism, Stupid, It's Ideology. It's Always Ideology. [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
While watching Michelle Obama's body language fist-pounding and seemingly giving Barack last-minute prep work, then vigorously leading him offstage. Imagine the commentary if she were one Jeri Thompson.
Uh.. what?
OTOH, there's Lisa Schiffren.
When Obama says that his party won't use religion as a wedge or patriotism as a club, that is a way of saying that those topics are out of bounds. It's always a mistake when Democrats do that. Better to say, as Hillary did, that she regards each vote for her "as a prayer." That was a wonderful, culturally powerful use of metaphor, and evidence that she is in tune with the quasi-religious sentiments of most semi-religious Americans.

Re: So it seems
The fact that Hillary seemingly wants the veep spot means bad things for Obama. I can just hear the conversation at the Clinton house, <sickkly whiney Hillary voice on> "Bill, Billy-Bob, dear, honey... Is there any way to make that bad man go away after we win the big house? Please? Prettty please with sugar on it? Remember, Bill, honey, 'Ain't mama happy, ain't nobody happy...' Mommy will make old lefty feel all good if you fix this lillte problem for me." <sickkly whiney Hillary voice off>

This part I agree on.

This is way off base.
If Hillary is VP, Obama will be found hanging in the park from a noose made of pantsuit legs.

Re: So it seems
It does seem that the Clintons have a lot of experience in making undesirable folks come up missing without a trace. I'd think that Hillary as veep would be a death sentence for O. Not that there won't be one for him in any case -- (and note that I am NOT advocating for this in any sense!). Still way too many haters in the general populace -- but if Hillary is in succession, one would think the time-line somewhat advanced.
