08'











Ok.

Follow my logic.

1) Hillary has enough money to run two Presidential campaigns.

2) Hillary has to overcome the "too liberal" and "too female" hurdles.

3) Obama is a rising star, rattling about running in 08'.

4) Obama lacks money, experience, and national exposure.

5) Obama is black.

6) Rover has taught everyone a lesson in politics. When you have a weakness, turn it to a strength.

Therefore,

How about a Hillary/Obama ticket for the Dems in O8'? Hillary gets someone who is perceived as a "moderate compromiser" to mitigate her rep. Obama gets out of the Senate and gains some national exposure and experience for '16.

The overt message is experience with a fresh approach, vision and "change". The covert message is, not only are we running a woman, but we're running a black!!!! We're bold, we're for change and we're for the everyman.

Any thoughts?

By the way, while looking for images for this post, I ran across this one:


Check out the cheesy Hillary smile and the airbrushing of Obama's fro' to look more black .. sorta like a black panther from the 60's. The pic is from a site called the "California Conservative". Wonder what the message is?

I don't care for either one of them. I'm still a Feingold fan.

I don't like either one of them either. But like it or not (and I don't), there is a certain momentum for these two ... two years out.
