I have absolutely no clue as to whether Obama would offer it to Hillary, or whether she would accept.

That is almost as funny as Quayle's spelling p-o-t-a-t-o in a school's spelling bee.

I don't think Biden will drop out.... he probably should and he will most definitely cost more votes than he brings in.... but..... I just think his ego won't let him drop and with Obama's connections to Biden's lobbyist sons.... we won't see him pushed out any time soon.

You know, the weird thing is, as much as I wanted Hillary to be the VP pick, I think she is needed more in the Senate. I think she can ride the momentum of her campaign into the Senate and get things done, working with Obama. She can solidify the Dems and indies if she works at it. Having her as VP is almost a waste.

"Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy."

"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." - on the day of our invasion of Iraq

"I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." -- on the Iraq insurgency, June 20, 2005

"Go fuck yourself." --to Sen. Patrick Leahy, during an angry exchange on the Senate floor about profiteering by Halliburton

I am really going to miss Chaney. He had an uncanny way of making liberals go so ballistic that they seemed to have an inability to respond in a rational manner. Spygate was classic - yea he threw her under the bus and kinda said to Congress "go fuck yourself" - and what have they done? Oh, they will get to it after vacation.
