A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
The following is from Buzz Flash. I think it should settle the question of whether or not Barack Obama puts Hillary on his ticket for VP. Even at Netroots Nation, the majority of the participants told the Hillbots that (a) their candidate lost; (b) voting for McCain is like a chicken voting for Col. Sanders; and (c) get over it.
They also got told to quit threatening to withhold donations from Obama if he doesn’t do what they want – which is put Hillpatine on the ticket. One such diehard lost her delegation to Denver because of her persisting in foolishness of supporting McAncient over Obama because he won’t put Hillary on his ticket.
However, former DNC Chair and all-around-loser of Democratic elections Terry McAuliffe, tipped his hand during a meeting of Democrats right here in the good ol’ commonwealth of Virginny:
The former national chairman of the Democratic Party who ran Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign this year told 200 Democratic activists in Fairfax County Tuesday that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine would be his party’s best choice as Barack Obama’s vice presidential running mate.
And, pay attention to this tidbit:
Let’s be crystal clear, as they say, McAuliffe and the rest of the Clinton staff fought tenaciously to the last moment to try and secure the nomination. McAuliffe would not be touting another VP candidate if he though Hillary had a chance. Period.
You just don’t do that with the Clintons. You fight till the last dog dies for a Clinton.
Ladies and gentlemen, I live in Fairfax County, and it has turned Northern Virginia totally blue. I mean, you have Beltway employees as well as soccer moms and dads here, but they are more progressive than you may realize. The parents stay at home by choice; choices they want their children to have when they grow up. I think you get my drift. For Terry McAuliffe to come outside the Beltway and say Tim Kaine is the best person for the Obama VP ticket is major.
You can read the rest of the news alert here. I don’t know about JJP readers, but if this is coming from one of their diehards, it is but another nail in the “Hillary should be VP” coffin.
Time to bury that sucka.
