Rice and Powell did not embrace high drama or come with a long trail of distracting baggage that unifies the opposition - the GOP at all levels. So you thought they were decimated?

Just listen to moderate, MSM and wingnut talk radio. You'd be surprised. The lynch mob has been released so the Obama/Clinton team up should be a disaster...or have we forgotten the 1990s?

the right-wing loves Hillary now, didn't you get the memo?

have you surfed the christianistas radio-- the rock of the base? Against Obama they make the VRWC against Clinton a do over picnic...to die for and go to heaven.

Have you read about the run on guns and ammo since the election and after the seven page questionaire of the Obama transition team to vet candidates became public. Question: Do you or other members in your family own a gun? is taken to reinforce the notion Obama will be confiscating guns once he takes the oath of office...if he takes the oath of office -- the Phillip Berg SC case on place of his birth.

Does Rush and Fox now love Hillary..is it a facade?  they all love her now because the Obama camp and Hillary promoters are worried the press will scuttle this job offer as per Huffpost. Get HRC on board so they'll have an additional target. How sweet, what a gift!

And what a turn off! I knew he would disappoint on some issues, yeah I could live with that. But on  what to do about Clintons issues are a major and not reconcilable. The rationale for not giving HRC the VP slot remains intact. If this is not a freak show I'll regret forever having laid out on Obama's campaign my time, energy and money.

Add in Lieberman - Obama gave him cover to keep his chairmanship: Disgusted, I can't be charitable.

Actually, the parallels to Seward are astonishing.

He was a Senator from New York who was widely presumed to be the 1860 nominee of the Republican Party, but who lost out to a surprise, lanky, man from Illinois.  Lincoln selected him as Secretary of State despite their rivalry, and he bought Alaska for 2 bucks and acre.
