E!! The True Conservative Story™

Andrea Mitchell/MSNBC, Pajamas Media and Media Blog on NRO are discussing the possibility of Hillary for Secretary of State. 

An SOS appointment is a political dead end; therefore, RHC will say no.  She still has ambition, and she’s just not that dumb.

(The fact that she’s not qualified may have little or no bearing on Obama trying to slide her in – and consequently get her out of his hair in the Senate.)

And now for a serious look at this year’s campaign season (turn speakers on; page load time is worth the wait).

Fox/Hannity is reporting that the Obama camp has said they will not text the VP pick until at/after 10 a.m. tomorrow.

They’ve got the cameras on Biden’s house “Live” and Dick Morris is saying he thinks it IS Biden. Which surprises me if true. I didn’t think Obama would go with a white-haired guy especially one with such a strong personality and who supported the intial action in Iraq as well as The Surge. Plus Biden pointed out Obama’s lack of experience earlier in the year, which is a sound byte the Obama camp could live without in a race that’s getting tighter with each passing day.

I thought it would be Bayh because his personality wouldn’t eclipse Obama, he’s a moderate, he’s a fiscal conserative, and he’s generally likeable especially with/by women – a demographic that Obama is struggling with right now.

I guess we won’t know until tomorrow…and some people are still saying “it’s Hillary” so the speculation continues.

The Corner is speculating that Chet Edwards (not John) might be the pick.  Not a good idea due to the possible name confusion; don’t think it’s gonna happen. 

I think Obama should pick Hillary if he wants to have any chance of winning, but I’m not sure she would agree to take it or that he would be willing to tolerate her on the ticket – or in the White House on a daily basis. 

Geraldine Ferraro was on Hannity last night and said there is “no way” Hillary will accept the VP spot under Obama.  Others have said they think she would, if it were properly offered.

If I were a Hillary staffer, I would advise her to Just Say No to Obama and stick with the roll call vote at the convention, which even if she loses will remind people that she still has strong support in the Demcoratic base, and then in 2012 she can come back and say (to the Dems), “OK Dummies, your Golden Boy got stomped in ’08, so stop messing around and nominate me.”
