Thread Name: BS: Edwards for VP after all?
Subject: RE: BS: Edwards for VP after all?
First of all, folks, Hillary, like it or not, is one of the most powerful Democratic Party women in the country and she isn't abiout to throw that away... Especially in a year where the Democratic Party is poised to put a good size whup on the rival fraternity...

She has everything to gain politically here by being perceived as a team player in being very supportive of an Obama campaign... One rap on the Clintons that perhaps has been their undoing this year is that they paly hardball and if she can muster up some "grace" then maybe it in itself can chip away at her negatives...

This should be a no-brainer for her and Bill... And they have had time to figure it out so Bill's temper won't override common sense this time... Well, that at least is the "conventional wisdom"...

My own feeling is that having gione thru this campaign and lost is that the Clinton's will see that they really have it purdy good with her being a Senator from a big state and him being able to free-wheel... Yes, I am sure they are disappointed and somewhat embarrassed but they, IMO, will look back at this loss as a blessing...

As for Edwards??? He did what he had to do... And none too soon... He probably has salvaged an opportunity to sevre in an Obama cabinet where I think he can be an effective Attorney General and restore some level of sanity to Justice...
