I predict McCain will pick a woman (probably Meg Whitman - a CEO to appeal to free marketers) but I really hope Obama does NOT pick Hillary - the taste-tester insurance would be too high. <br /><br />I know that the press is calling Obama and Clinton the "dream team" and she is really flattering Obama up, but having Hillary on the ballot would guarantee a McCain win. To my mind Hillary-hating is endemic to this country and if you thought Eagleton lost the election for McGovern or Stockdale acting clueless hurt Perot, it would be nothing compared to the concentration on Hillary's dumb statements that are all on tape. I wish he would pick Richardson because they are closest in philosophy (although the best choice would be Kucinich because the anti-war vote is huge). The Clintons just have too much baggage and were never good for America. They certainly would not contribute to "change". <br /><br />Obama seems to be abandoning his stand on diplomacy and is acting tough now. Sigh.
