Hillary sounds like Tony Soprano talking to Ralphie C. about the Jackie Jr. problem.

You go, baby. It’s just business…

Oops. Quite right.:)
But the symbolism schtick is still dreamworld stuff.

But “Condi” is no better at being Secretary of State than Janet Reno, just better looking.

Why do you need a gimmick, whether that be because someone is black or female.

Can we get out of this symbolism bullshit and deal with the essence of these people’s records for chrissakes?

Tarnsman @4.59

I would luuuuuve to see Condi as VEEP; and probably she would become the next President. That would be a dream.

Some right people think she is unnacceptable, but she is at least not a stupid, vacuopus sap. She is her own man and knows the ropes of Washington and the world.

Maybe she could have Collin Powell as VEEP!’

(Also not ideal but at least not socialist)

To several posters here: yes, Hillary is completely ruthless; it is a mark of a good statesman.

Can she swing it, though? There is the rub. If she deposed the Ubermessiah, there would be 16 year old girls throwing themselves under busses; mushy prime-tinme for the Democrat conference. Therefore, “If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well
It were done quickly.”

There is just no way these two egos could co-habit Airforce One.

I don’t see the Democrats taking it from Sen. Obama because African Americans will leave the Party — not just stay home but vote for Sen. McCain. Also, they would look like disorganized rabble at their convention and who would want them running the country? In which case they lose the Presidency and perhaps the Congress as well. I think it would require Hillary to take 80 percent of the White Female vote to win, since black females won’t be voting for her. I don’t see it.

No. I think Hillary wants Barack to lose in November and lose big (put him out of the running for 2012) even while she campaigns for him (and her voters vote for McCain). Then she has a clear shot at 2012.

Obama has to deal. If he wins, she gets a Supreme Court nomination. If he loses, he pledges support for her run in 2012. That’s for the minimum cooperation at the convention and during the campaign. He will have to give her something along those lines or watch the Clintons put a hole in his hull.
