What this means:

Some people are really bad losers.

Let's not give this inanity any attention, as it deserves NONE.

"If you look for the social economic motive, you will not have to wait for history to tell you what was propaganda and what was truth." - George Seldes

by calling for a unity ticket a la Andrew Sullivan.

One reason why Obama has succeeded so utterly is because of the impression that he is nothing at all like the Clintons.

To bring her in is like making Cheney Vice President all over again for either prospective nominee.  She'll want to run the show.  Plus, she's too right-wing, due to her sucking up to the likes of Faux and Scaife.

It would be a disaster.

Let Obama get someone like Wesley Clark or Sibelius, Napolitano or Webb.  ANY. . . ONE. . . BUT. . . HILLARY. . . CLINTON.

The whole point of the post is how wrongheaded and pointless adding Clinton to the ticket would be.

Despite the cultural and ideological battles, I also think that Clinton on Obama's ticket in places he did +20pts. in would really harm him.  

I just hope that the PTB don't try to force Clinton on him.

I thought so too until I saw the invisible <snark> tags around that recommendation.

Agreed - but he was just being sarcastic!

I like Richardson or any of the ones you've named. I think I like Richardson best though because he showed a lot of political courage coming to Obama's side when he was not a sure thing.

but I didn't see those snark lines when I read them.

Too bad the Borg Queen is still in the race, though.
