Best political line of the day


[Obama] told the audience that it made no sense for Clinton to suggest he is not ready to be president and then hint that she might hand him the job that could make him president at a moment's notice.

"If I'm not ready, how is it that you think I should be such a great vice president?" he said, as the crowd laughed and cheered loudly.


I must be a die-hard cynic. I see all this ending in a disaster for the Democrats. It goes all the way to the convention, Obama leads in elected delegates, number of states, and popular vote -- but Clinton won the large "important" states, so the party honchos meet behind closed doors and super-delegates give her the nomination, the party splits as Obama supporters are outraged, and McCain beats Clinton in a landslide. He dies in office of natural causes and his VP, whoever that may be, is president through most of the term.

Well, maybe this is the screenwriter as much as the cynic speaking ha ha.
