They're warming up in the bullpen because the starting pitcher is getting hammered.

The private server is the best example of why such a ticket seems highly unlikely. Forget the email. That's not relevant here. The issue is the server and what it tells us about how HRC would handle the second chair. As VP, she would have a lot more resources and people to create what she would view as co-presidency. I think HRC should go for first chair or no chair.

But I can't see either Biden or HRC wanting such an arrangement. HRC is tired of being the Bridesmaid, and Biden can't risk having an as powerful as Cheney type VP in the background.

I'm with everyone else here though- The DLC and the GOP have had 35 years to show us how awesome Poppy Bush's way of running the US and the world works...and I can sum it up in 3 words: Not. Very. Well.

No more RW policies, rhetoric or money. Zip. Nadda. Finito.
