Obama - Ask Hillary First!
The issue at hand for the Democratic Party for winning in ‘08 is not losing to McCain but losing to a divided Democratic party. The first thing Obama should do if nominated is put Hillary on the ticket. Will the Republicans have a field day with her on the ticket? Yes! Is their some bad blood in the water due to some negative campaign strategies on the part of the Clintons? Probably. Can Hillary be a tough fighter able to play tough allowing Obama to stay higher above the fray? Yes!
Howard Dean said a few months ago that the loser will be the most important person in the Democratic presidential run this year. Hillary's legacy in this 08 election could place her as the healer and bring together a united Democratic party. As a winning ticket they also move this country closer to healing the racial and misogynist undertones that still have roots.
Can you picture Denver with Hillary's delegates close to half of all delegates demanding that she be included on the ticket? To some it's a crusade. If Hillary was the one out ahead - by just a little over half - wouldn't Obama supporters want the same?
Obama's offer and Hillary's acceptance of an Obama/Clinton ticket hold the healing and the power to move this country in the direction of the real change in Washington that Obama talks about. First he must bring the Democrats back together again.
Obama - ask Hillary first.

Ask Hillary First
Are you crazy? Forget what Dean said a few months ago. We know more today than we did yesterday. Today we know Hillary is boring and crazy.
Hillary and Bill have no incentive to see Obama succeed in November. Neither Bill or Hillary can be trusted and I would have thought you would know better. Starting with Ron Brown, our late Commerce Sec’y, to Clinton (Bill) back door dealings with Dubai and Khakastan, etc., while Clinton (Hillary) playing the Senate floor voting against the formers interests; please. What about Colombia Free Trade agreement and Clinton’s (Bill’s) under the table dealings with a regime set to take us to war with Venezuela and Ecuador?
You are advocating that Obama ignore issues that the Republicans will not, like Clinton’s (Bill) perjury and loss of law license; or, Clinton’s (Hillary) lack of a Senate legislative record…I’m from NY, have looked at her achievements and but for Schumer, there’s basically a blank. Claire McCaskill can serve the same role as Hillary; even with all her issues, Palozzi, Biden or Dodd or Webb can support the ticket too. The suggestion that Obama take on the albatross of Billary is disingenuous at best, or a malicious endeavor to sabotage the ‘inevitable’ Democratic Candidacy of Barack on the sneak tip.
Respectfully, if folk do not wish to vote for Barack because he is black, so what…there is need for continued cheap white labor and ‘a racial divide’; or, if white women are pissed off and won’t vote for Barack because their ‘girl’ lost, f#@kum…let them vote to terminate the right of ‘choice’, it’s not like this liberty is equally applied…let them send their sons, brothers and baby daddies to war (the result of an ‘inevitable’ draft). As for, respectfully, older folk…they have all the stock and are the last vestige of our racial divide…these are the same archaic dinosaurs that lead a charge for Plessy v. Ferguson's longevity; may be, as a parting shot for America, they will vote against their conditioned way, perhaps a look toward their progeny’s future and vote Obama whether Hillary is on the Ticket, or not.
Finally, any sane observer would admit Hillary is a bore...in addition, her penchant for the lie is frightening, and in reality, she brings nothing to the OBAMA table but unvetted issues. We need to turn the page and begin a new book.
