I agree with most of this article except for the Clinton/Obama bit. He would be a millstone hanging around her neck.

2. This is the same Lanny Davis who whined and cried about the timing of the Edwards endorsement?

What a little rat he is.

11. thats bull shit he wanted McCain/Clinton

Clinton/McCain



There are any number of provocative possibilities for a bipartisan ticket in 2008. Imagine the buzz if Republican John McCain and Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton committed to making the other vice president in the event that either won the election. Pick any combination of other names in the current field of potential candidates

4. What a surprise, an HRC supporter saying why HRC is the better choice! LOL
from the link in the OP:

"Mr. Davis, former special counsel to President Clinton in 1996-98, is a longtime friend and supporter of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign."

5. The author of that article just can't do arithmetic.
Davis writes: "Worst case, she could come out with a 2% deficit in elected pledged delegates."

It's about 1650 to 1500 in elected pledged delegates, not counting Edwards delegates who moved to Obama after his endorsement. That is about a 5% deficit (150 deficit out of about 3150).

Same thing said a different way, Obama has 10% more elected pledged delegates than Clinton.

No credibility.

7. Lanny "buck shot" Davis is bankrupt when it comes to this election..he gets
all riled up and starts spewing more insanity.

9. Instead of launching into ad hominem attacks
why not address the *actual* points he made which, let's face it, have been quite impressively argued. Although I agree with the general drift of the article I would fault him for giving Obama too much credit.

16. She lost this nomination months ago and the chance to be VP with her scorched earth campaign.
I look forward to not thinking of her again when this is over, well except to donate money to anyone opposing her in a primary challenge in NY.
