Comments on: How Obama Could Wrap It Up http://www.chrisweigant.com/2008/02/07/how-obama-could-wrap-it-up/ Reality-based political commentary Thu, 30 Apr 2026 02:50:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Michale http://www.chrisweigant.com/2008/02/07/how-obama-could-wrap-it-up/#comment-1743 Michale Mon, 11 Feb 2008 23:45:22 +0000 http://www.chrisweigant.com/index.php/2008/02/07/how-obama-could-wrap-it-up/#comment-1743 Wow!! And here I thought I have actually MELLOW'ed with age!!! :D Go figger.. For someone who enjoys calling every statement Bush has made a lie, you sure are giving Hillary a free ride. Do you know how many people associated with the Clintons DIED during the first Clinton administration?? WAY above the number that would have by coincidence or circumstances... How can you reconcile Hillary's claim with being the "Change" candidate when she is constantly bringing in people from the first Clinton massacre....er... administration??? Ms Williams, who cleaned out Vince Foster's office while his body was still warm from his alleged suicide??? And so on and so on... Hillary doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination fairly and squarely... And, if Obama has ANY sense in his head, he will distance himself from the Clintons as fast as possible... As for my "large Secret Service Detail" comment, it was merely a rational and logical assessment of the chances of Obama being met with foul play if he was standing in the Clinton's way in their re-ascension to the throne.. Michale..... Michale..... Wow!! And here I thought I have actually MELLOW'ed with age!!! :D Go figger..

He still doesn't get it. A) With all of the special prosecutors, white waters, etc. Hilary is only guilty of being an engaging aggressive woman. (Mindset right-wingers can not stand)B) Large secret service detail? Is a code word for anti-Hillary and anti-black? Ya never know with this guy! -Spermwhale returns I see in my absence of the last month, Michael's personal attacks, devicevness, and mean spiritness, has increased exponentially.

He would require a MUCH larger Secret Service detail.. :^/ Michale..... It just occurred to me, however, that there is one pitfall for Obama to having Hillary as his VP...

It would definitely put Hillary in a very awkward spot. And I agree with you that I think Barack is much closer to a "tipping point" than the current results show. He has overcome a huge national Clinton lead and is bordering on changing the story around one of Hillary's supposed greatest strengths: her experience. The thing that is keeping her in this is that she is staying on the offensive. Like you mentioned, Chris, she proposed legislation and asked Barack to follow. She is the one calling for a debate and trying to pull Barack along. The one thing that I think would tip the scales is one solid offensive move from Obama. It's almost as if the nation is waiting for it, waiting for him to prove that he has the "experience" to win. If he took the offensive and engaged her (keep in mind, he walks a tightrope - I don't think he should go negative), but if he could show the public an example of how he can lead, I think it puts him over the top. - Dave Interesting idea.

As long as there is a split screen to show Obama's offer on one side and Clinton's face on the other.. The expression on her face would be priceless!! Let's hope there is not a white background behind Clinton. If there was, I bet she would all but disappear... :D Michale..... I am all for this as well..
