Whining about one of Barack Obama’s loose-lipped aides calling her a “monster”, and screaming gotcha after another one suggested that he really doesn’t mean anything he says, were just a couple of the banana peels Hillary Clinton threw in Obama’s path last week to trip him up. Yet he actually extended his lead over her by winning yesterday’s Wyoming Caucuses in commanding and redemptive fashion: 61% to 38%.
So here’s to Obama regaining his stride and working that (rhymes-with-stitch) out of his side.
Meanwhile, you’ve probably heard Bill and Hillary zealously promoting the idea of an “unstoppable” Clinton-Obama ticket. However, this betrays not only their political cunning but also their sense of political entitlement. After all, they’re effectively conceding defeat while presuming to dictate the terms of Obama’s victory….
Indeed, suggesting that the superdelegates should put her on top is rather like an understudy suggesting that the ballet director should let her perform on opening night instead of the prima ballerina: the f@<#ing nerve!
Nevertheless, what I wrote about this prospect several weeks ago should disabuse you of any regard for this Clintonian presumption; i.e., that they’re doing the Democratic Party a favor by allowing Obama, the projected winner of the nomination, to serve as Hillary’s VP:
That said, it is far more interesting and relevant to speculate on what will happen once the nominee is determined. Because on the one hand, if it’s Hillary, she will have no choice but to choose Obama as her VP running mate. And, no matter what he says about this prospect today, I think he’ll accept the offer in a heartbeat. After all, nothing could prepare him, or set him up better, to succeed President Hillary than serving as Vice President Obama for the next eight years.
On the other hand, if it’s Obama, he would be loath to choose Hillary, and she would be even more loath to accept. After all, that would be like Aretha Franklin agreeing to go on tour as the opening act for Beyonce. Besides, Obama’s ticket would be even more formidable [i.e., unstoppable] if he were to choose a white guy from the conservative wing of the Party as his running mate.
Stick a fork in her….

She’s a contradiction wrapped in a pile of horse crap. What BS. What nonsense.
