Subject: RE: BS: Dem Convention Repeat of '24???
All the ruminating on whether or not they would be a super ticket is more for the faithful than it is for the selection process. That will be determined based on what makes sense when the water clears. The pundits will read the political tea leaves that constitute their vision of what will best suit the target voters. That will be based on the inherent, or evident, political weakness of the eventual nominee. It will also be based on what is perceived to be going on in the voters minds with regard to the events current during the race. All that goes into the decision, and a very short list will come out the other side. Obama would suit Hillary, under those types of scenarios, much better than Hillary would suit Obama. He has something she needs. At that juncture, I would think Obama would not only announce his VP, but who he has in mind for most major cabinet positions. He could use that to engender confidence from the older Dem voters that he is really about change and recruiting the best available talent.
