Vice President Hillary Clinton?


Is it going to happen? Is it going to be an "Obama-Clinton" ticket?

As much as we'd like it, I have my doubts. Hillary seems to have finally noticed the lights dimming on her party, and started giving everyone back their coats. Thank you and good night. It's been fun. Hubby Bill's even run out of steam, and his face is returning to it's normal color. So now is she going to ask Obama for the number two spot?

Her communications director Howard Wolfson says she's not seeking the vice-presidency and carefully adds "no one speaks for her but her." Okay. But then Bob Johnson, the billionaire founder of Black Entertainment Television and a Clinton supporter, sent a letter to the Congressional Black Caucus Wednesday urging the group to encourage Obama to choose Clinton as his vice presidential pick. He said he was doing so with her blessing.

But in spite of the "dream ticket" factor, and in spite of the nonsense of some of Hillary's supporters saying they will now vote for McCain, I get a feeling that Barak won't pick Hillary for several reasons. The biggest one is her baggage. She got BIG baggage, baby.

At any rate, we should know very soon. Keep breathing.
