I think an Obama/Clinton ticket would be a serious error on the Dems part; and I do not believe they are much interested in snatching defeat out of anywhere. That phrase is another one of those slanted cynicisms that says so much about the world-view of those who use it. What they are interested in is building a better nation; an interest I share. McCain certainly will not do it, and Hillary would not do it as well as Obama.

The most effective thing Obama could do in selecting a running mate is recruit Colin Powell.
