Bullshit Has Its Place

Arggh! The Rethugs wasted no time shitting and pissing on Obama's announcement that he had chose the Senator from Delaware as his #2. McCain and his posse were salivating at the mouth hoping the charismatic guru would choose Hillary. Not so much. In fact, she was never vetted by Caroline Kennedy or Eric Holder. A sure sign that Obama was not in the mood to deal with the Clinton drama. Of course now this may be a rocky convention. Bill and Hill will put on faux smiles and give dynamic speeches in hopes of stealing Obama's show. But if they hope to repair the leaky damage they caused in the primaries, they'd better get on board the Obama train and quick. 

Many Hillary supporters are already saying how Obama not choosing Mrs. Clinton will be the fall of what Maureen Dowd of the New York Times calls "the One." I doubt it. Why all the brouhaha if Obama is in danger of losing? The problem with the Hillary as VP notion is that it notes that Obama cannot win without Hillary. 

That is a bunch of hooey. Pundits no doubt will be still asking about Hillary and her supporters. You can count on the McCain camp to be kissing hands of those fringe Hillarybots in the coming days and weeks. I bet the former CEO of HP will be dispatched to woo over the remaining fringies. 

Obama's choice of Biden cemented the angry Hillary people. But perhaps in the ten remaining weeks of this soap opera, Obama will be able to convince those Clinton-drunk people that he is a smarter choice than McCain. Obama is already beginning his remarkable slice and dice routine on the elephant party. He'd better keep it up. Obama does have to give a nod to Clinton though, which is why she is speaking at the convention. She made him a stronger candidate to go up against the silent majority that is the Republican smear machine. The crap she threw at him did have its perks. Bullshit, after all, has its place.
