Hillary Clinton brought up the Joint Ticket idea.<BR/><BR/>Now, this wouldn't be a big deal ordinarily (hell, the questions have been around for months), but to bring it up immediately after such important wins indicates that she MAY consider a VP nod as an option.<BR/><BR/>Just something to ponder.B Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874975455332269325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-75942458360693143022008-03-06T10:01:00.000-05:002008-03-06T10:01:00.000-05:00So my mother was wrong... my Political Science deg...So my mother was wrong... my Political Science degree DOES help me in the real world!<BR/><BR/>And she wanted me to be an "engineer" or a "doctor"...

I don't see the point in having the national leadership say one thing and then go back on it. It makes them look wishy washy and ineffective.<BR/><BR/>A lot of people that wanted Obama here got screwed. While some voted undecided, there was my dad. He voted for Obama absentee before he heard anything about voting undecided (or no preference...I can't remember) and didn't get his vote counted.<BR/><BR/>Nice post B-Mac. By the time I get a political post worked out, I am usually a few days behind when it happened. I do like the fact that we really mix it up here.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-74048908741803858022008-03-05T15:48:00.000-05:002008-03-05T15:48:00.000-05:00You know why I am not feaking out?Because no matte...You know why I am not feaking out?<BR/><BR/>Because no matter what happens in November, come next year we will have a better President.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-50318300281364963032008-03-05T14:30:00.000-05:002008-03-05T14:30:00.000-05:00Yeah, B Mac, the only guy on the blog to take the ...Yeah, B Mac, the only guy on the blog to take the time to write a political post. You're it, B Mac. You're the Political Correspondent.<BR/><BR/>Here's what I don't like about this whole thing. McCain, while he won't receive that much press coverage, now gets to switch his campaign to General Election mode. It means he gets to court the right and the indies, and strip some of them away as they become less and less certain (the indies, I mean) of whether they get Obama or Clinton. This sentiment will increase as Obama and Clinton beat the daylights out of each other over the next 2 months. This goes all the way to Denver, and that gives McCain all the time in the world to court folks. It makes Clinton that much more beatable and makes Obama more and more uncertain and possibly beatable as well.<BR/><BR/>Obama really needed, IMHO, to have had this shit wrapped up last night. Clinton might have thrown it in. But now? She's not gonna back down, neither is he, and McCain wins in November.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-76354465442009991882008-03-05T13:00:00.000-05:002008-03-05T13:00:00.000-05:00BTW- B Mac is now the official ATK primary electio...BTW- B Mac is now the official ATK primary election correspondent.<BR/><BR/>Nice work.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-21961577925202313802008-03-05T12:26:00.000-05:002008-03-05T12:26:00.000-05:00The other thing that is good is that McCain wont' ...The other thing that is good is that McCain wont' receive shit for media coverage over the next few months.<BR/><BR/>The thing is Obama is ahead in TOTAL delegates, including the so-called super delegates. If NBC's analysis is correct, HRC needs to get something like 70% of the remaining delegates to catch up.<BR/><BR/>The only way that happens is if he is caught in some outragous scandal, which won't likely happen. Instead she will go seriously negative on him, which will not be good for Democrats in the end.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-55465759624995900812008-03-05T10:57:00.000-05:002008-03-05T10:57:00.000-05:00Rickey isn't relishing the idea of this continuing...Rickey isn't relishing the idea of this continuing into the summer, but it seems inevitable at this point.
