HILLARY EMERGES FROM THE SHADOWS
Can we expect Hillary to do her best "Ted Kennedy--The Dream Shall Never Die!" act in Denver? In 1980, Ted Kennedy didn't have nearly the clout at the 1980 convention that Hillary will have in Denver--and he still created a lot of grief for Carter. And we all know what happened after that, don't we?
I agree with the previous poster: Hillary will only go through the motions of supporting Obama. She definitely won't take the VP slot. Hell, why would she? If His Majesty is defeated in November, then that clears the way for her in 2012. Conversely, if Golden Boy is elected he'll almost certainly screw the pooch. Therefore, Hillary as Veep means that she'd also go down with the "S.S. Obama" and kiss 2012 goodbye. Furthermore, if Hillary stays in the Senate, she'll make Obama's life a living hell on a daily basis: "Gee, Mr. President, I'd looooove to help you on that pet legislation of yours--fax it to me and I'll get back with you in six months after I've had time to read it."
Nope, the best of all possible worlds for Hillary would be a McCain victory in November. A defeated Messiah will be "damaged goods" and McCain will likely be a one-termer. What's not to like?

"And by what I see awaiting [Obama], he may not like the dish being served."
Old Klingon Proverb: "Revenge is a dish best served cold."

RUMBLINGS FROM BELOW THE MOUNTAINTOP
"He could very well turn into a one term wonder like Carter."
It could even worse for Obama Wan Husseini if he actually gets elected: another major terrorist attack or a foreign policy disaster will easily result in His Obaminence being a "half-term wonder"...and having an asterisk attached to his name in the history books.

DEMS PLAYING ALFONSE AND GASTON WITH VEEP CHOICE
I'd say the experienced Donk pols already realize that Obama is basically a human roulette wheel: hit the right number and baby gets a new pair of shoes. Don't hit the right number, and you lose the family farm.
I suspect, accordingly, these pols know that the vaunted "Obama magic" will only last until the first big crisis (i.e., where he actually has to deliver results)...and if His Changeyness screws the pooch--and the smart money says he will--the Democratic Party will be going down with all hands in 2010.
This is why if Obama loses in November, my money says that many experienced Democratic politicians will loudly whine about his loss...but, behind closed doors, quietly congratulate each other that McCain won.

OBAMA DROPS PRE-EMPTIVE RACE BOMB
Something for the Left to think about:
If Obama "post-racializes" his way into the Oval Office...and then screws the proverbial pooch, our first (or maybe second, if you count Clinton) "black President" will also be the last one for a very, very long time thereafter.
Don't make me have to explain my rationale--you lefties should already know why I'll be right.

Okay, given everything said above, you don't suppose Obama's sugar daddies and mommies would be so audacious as to expect, y'know, some real value for their money?
I think this actually bodes real problems for Obama if (Saints Preserve Us!) he gets elected. Come January 2010, after His Obamajesty has eloquently explained why his 43rd "nuanced adjustment" of his campaign promises is so unlike the previous 42, his erstwhile, and very disappointed, backers will be loudly muttering, "A sh** sandwich is still a sh** sandwich even if it's topped off with chipotle sauce, served on a poppy-seed bun, and served by the biggest-breasted gal at Hooters."

Dear roland,
Thanks for sophisticated comments. You really put the "anal" in "analysis."
Now shuck out of your jammies, move out of your parents' basement, and get a real life.

EXCLUSIVE! OBAMA-CLINTON TRANSCRIPT
I'm inclined to think Hillary's meeting with Obama was more akin to the "Meeting of the Heads of the Five Families" scene in the "The Godfather," all of which was suavely mc'ed by "Don Howard Deanzini."
DON DEANZINI:
Times have changed. It's not like the old days when we could do anything we want in second-hand, smoke-filled rooms. A refusal to concede the nomination is not the act of a friend of the Party. Dona Hillario has all the judges and the politicians in New York, and many superdelegates, and she must share them...She must let us draw the Evian water from the well. Certainly, she can present a bill for such services. After all, we are not Kossacks...DON HILLARIO:
I hoped that we would come here and reason together. And as a reasonable shrew...uh, woman, I'm willing to do whatever's necessary to find a peaceful solution to these problems.DON DEANZINI:
Then we are agreed. Trading superdelegate votes will be permitted, but controlled, Dona Hillario will give up any pretense to the Presidential nomination, but still get a title shot at the Veep slot - and there will be the peace.DON OBAMA ARUGULA:
But I must have strict assurance from Hillario. As time goes by and her position becomes stronger, will she attempt any individual vendetta?DON DEANZINI:

Look, we are all reasonable men and women here. We don't have to give assurances as if we were lawyers...although we all are!
But hey! Once people get to know you, they love you. You will melt the opposition in their hearts by the magical healing powers of your silky smooth, mellifluous voice.
That's for squaring me away on this score. And to think, I've always thought Prince Charming's faux-jive voice and elocution were, ummm, well, just plain irritating.

WHEN WILL OBAMA RESPOND TO 'APPEASEMENT' CHARGE?
Obama has responded, "If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate about protecting the United States, that is a debate that I'm happy to have anytime, anyplace." Obama goes on to "condemn [the Bush] administration for not capturing Osama bin Laden."
If Obama is really serious about having national security debates, then he's even more stupid than I thought humanly possible. Hell, The Obamster still doesn't realize that, like a big, fat, juicy fly, he's flown right into a Republican spider web. I'm telling y'all, 10 minutes into a national security debate with McCain, Obama will be stammering, stuttering, and squealing, "Help meeeeeee, help meeeeeeee!" just like that dude in "The Fly."
President Bush wasn't thinking specifically of Obama in his appeasement comments, but I'll bet Dubya is carrying a little self-satisfied smirk right now, and has an extra spring in his step, knowing that he punched Prince Charming's buttons--and Prince Charming knows he knows!
