Isn't that sad? I think the tee shirt mentality of marketing a political candidate is illustrative of the problem with the American public. And thats not directed at you, as I know you're joking. I also appreciate the levity with which you approach the reality that it will be an Obama ticket. As I have always said, no matter the outcome of this primary, democrats will rally around which ever candidate was the nominee.
Originally posted by Devil KingI'm not actually joking, I do want an Obama t-shirt. I understand and sympathize with your opinion on them, but I back up my t-shirts with action. Plus it supports the campaign

Originally posted by Devil KingThen I don't quite understand the comment. Were roles reversed and the primary season ended with a Clinton advantage while Obama still had sizable support I have no doubt Obama would be doing the same thing with his leverage, or put any candidate in either position. All politicians have their agendas.
Not at all.
Also imo people are misconstruing a shrewd political move for magnanimousness. Although that may just be the cynic in me.

Clinton would certainly be the wisest choice for VP as far as ensuring a victory in November goes. I have no doubt about that.
Not so. Remember, an MSNBC poll of secular/liberal New York just a month ago (when we all knew Obama had this in the bag anyway) showed that an Obama/Clinton ticket would LOSE to a McCain/Rice ticket. By over 8 points.
In secular New York.
Imagine how well they'd do in the other parts of the country.
If McCain gets Colin Powell then forget it, it's over.
Even Huckabee, who'd rally the 100 million evangelicals to his side against the liberal Obama/Clinton ticket would probably be enough to do the trick.
In other news, congrats to Obama for making history. 👆 (seriously, that's a cool thing. I don't agree on his social positions, but it's cool for a brother to have a real shot at this.)
(saw this on another board and couldn't stop laughing. Messed up, but funny)

Thought it was already established that polls of 3 months ago are worthless to today. You admitted as such, so stop backtracking and referencing polls that are ancient news. Unless you have a poll from today showing that, it's pointless.
