So, any bets on how long until Billary concede's to Obama? Will she do what's best for her party or drag this out until the convention? My money is on her dragging it out!

The Clintons have always been in this to win but the numerical writing is on the wall and they know it so now you hear about the scuttle of her for Vip...Have heard that Mrs Obama would never accept that...but would not be surprised if all of a sudden....
wha-lah...PARTY UNITY...a Obama-Clinton ticket. Politics only in America...gotta love us.

I've detected a trend in the Conservative smear campagin.

Look for more attacks on Michelle Obama.
Sound familiar?

Man those Conservatives hate strong Women.

Hillary will drop out when she's negotiated everything from the deal she can get.

That may include:

Obama paying off her campaign debts
A position in the Obama administration
Promises for some favorite project like health care.
Positions in the Obama administration for key staff supporters.

Obama would be best off telling her to go fly a kite and not dirty his hands making deals with her. Nature will take care of her departure.

IMHO, he's more subtle than that.

Obama will deal, but there will also be a price. The primary one will be message control. It's his show. Delegation is something he will do, needs to do, and wants to do. And Clinton has plenty of roles to play and a lot of support.

VP is out though. It's out because then it just wouldn't be his show. Obama will be making a serious personal investment and sacrifice to be President. It's got to matter and for that to happen, he needs to be the executive.

The Clintons play a different game and I don't believe that's compatible with what Obama's game.

That is where the friction is. Really, it's his party now, not the Clinton's party. They are going to want to marginalize that to the maximum degree possible. Maybe they won't go that far and we will see trouble. Could happen.

I sense that most folks in the DC crowd are tired of the Clintons and would like to move on.

So far as VP is concerned, there are a number of reasons that won't happen.

One is that he is smart enough not to give her a pulpit throughout his administration.

Another is that Michelle says no.

I think the biggest reason is he doesn't need the Clintons in his hair and neither do the American people. She represents yesterday in politics at this point.

Yeah, I think Michelle is a serious factor there. There is no way she is gonna tolerate being upstaged and rightfully so!

>>Man those Conservatives hate strong Women

Are you sure? We don't hate Ann Coulter, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Phyllis Schlafly, Shemane Nugent, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Michelle Malkin, Dr. Monica Crowley or Margaret Thatcher or even your own Mom! But check out the new babes that work for Townhall.com that are on FoxNews...the new up and coming conservative women we love to be strong to share the right.

Where are you guys getting this information about Michelle saying no to Hillary as VP?

Your right.
I stand corrected.

"Where are you guys getting this information about Michelle saying no to Hillary as VP?"

It was all over the news a few weeks ago.

Deane_johnson: It was all over the news a few weeks ago.

You mean the rumor was all over the news. There is no factual basis for the story that I'm aware of.

Andrew

Well, I think she would be opposed to it anyway.

Technically, I didn't say she said "no", only that I believe she is going to say, "no" to Clinton.

here's an interesting writeup....

TownHall.com = Hate Speech. I can't think of any less attractive women than Ann Coulter, Phyllis Schlafly and her hair net, Laura Schlessinger and Michelle Malkin. Collectively, they're like listening to finger nails on a chalkboard. And I'm sure sex with any of them would be even more excruciating. God help the men who love this gaggle of malcontent windbags.

Good grief Talpdx...so much for tolerance of the sexes.

I'm as tolerant as it gets -- and if I know God, She appreciates my opinion on the matter.

And She appreciates mine too.

Ye know not what you are saying...

Any beauty theses women possess is just a few cells deep.
Their ugliness is inside & goes to the core.

Aside from that they're just plain nuts.

Gee, you are taking Robert Novak's word for this?

So much for credibility.

That would be the same Robert Novak, "Traitor to his Country"?

And the same hack who exposed Valerie Plame, with Dick Cheney's help of course.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plame_affair

Actually Novak has been a respected journalist for many years from both sides of the debate.

Truthiness. It's what's for dinner.

"Actually Novak has been a respected journalist for many years from both sides of the debate."

Until he commited treason.
