What about Senator Jim Webb for V.P.? |
|
Wouldn't he strengthen the ticket with his military experience and his appeal to rural southern voters?
I know it would be a loss to the Senate . . .

2. I'm not a fan of removing more senators than necessary, but he'd be fine otherwise. |

3. I agree. But I loved that moment when he avoided shaking Bush's hand. |
|
And then put Bush in his place when Bush asked about his son in Iraq.

Richardson stuck his neck out at a critical time. Balls. Webb sits it out.

party. All that will do is let folks know the dems are not concerned about winning because the party will be making a point.The point being the party is the first to select an AA as its nominee. If they wanted to win this damn election in november then the superdelegates better vote for hrc.

10. Cough. Bullshit. Cough. |

Obama is the far stronger candidate for the General.
Hillary is a fucking disaster, and she's a disaster in debt, to boot.

And voting for her can be just as much of a "point maker."

15. That's a racist remark. |
|
I never heard anyone say that the only reason Dems would select Hillary would be to pat themselves on the back for letting a woman play at prez, as you seem to be saying about Obama...
