My biggest fear was that B. Hussein would have chosen Hillary as his VP. I think together they would have been unstoppable. Obviously Hillary carries lots of excess baggage and that probably was why Hussein didn’t select her. Also Hillary (being no idiot) would probably have said “No”.

My second biggest fear was that Hussein would have chosen a conservative white Democrat who was a skilled orator and would have done a proper job of reaching out to independents. I think Biden was a half-assed attempt at doing this but Biden doesn’t really have the horse power. Perhaps Hussein was afraid of being up-staged by a VP who was obviously more qualified to be President than himself.

If McCain makes a good VP choice (NOT Romney!!) then Hussein is probably toast. If Hussein’s post convention bounce is under 5% and McCain makes the right VP choice then Hussein is toast for sure.
