Hillary Clinton Plumbing the Depths

Hillary Clinton seems to have become very desperate and is willing to do anything to become the President of USA.

Her invitation to Barack Obama to be her Vice-Prsident is one such low. Besides being desperate, it is also very stupid. Why would Obama who is leading her in the Primaries accept a second position? And if as she has repeatedly said that Obama is not Presidential material on a/c of his inexperience, how can she ask him to be Vice President which gives him a chance to become President should something happen to Hillary ? Does not make sense at all.

In fact viewed against Hillary's record, all her wrong experience seems to be of no good use to America. I am reminded of a quote about experience-'My father always said he had 40 years of experience but what he really had was one year of experience repeated 39 times'.

Hillary has also stated that a Republican would be a better President than Obama.
Is she hoping to scare the Democratic voters ?

It appears that the Democrats have lost a golden chance to reover the Presidency. After the disastrous Bush Regime, the Democrats had a very good chance as the country is crying out for change to put things right ASAP. But all the Democrats could come up with was Hillary who is hated as much as George Bush and Barack Obama who may not appeal to many (let us be frank here) because of his colour, background and lack of specifics.

I am afraid if Obama is nominated for the Democrats then between the convention and the Election date many mainstream Americans may have second thoughts about having an African-American as President and could use his lack of experience as an excuse to vote Republican.

So it looks like John McCain can trounce either Obama or Hillary in the election and help the Republicans retain the Presidency. He has all the experience, war hero appeal, good -looking wife and he could appeal to disaffected Democrats as well.

But what would really make the race interesting is if McCain picks a woman or black as his running mate. Then he is sure to win.

Clinton and Obama are splitting the Democrats and whoever is nominated will find it very difficult to fight against a McCain slate with a woman or black as a running mate.

May be McCain can go one better and select Condi Rice as his Vice-President and thus appeal both to the blacks and women.
