3. Why wouldn't the VP nominee get to pick their communications director?

4. I'm Sensing That HRC Is Obama's Pick.......

the latest Bill Clinton hub hub that the MSM is trying to make look bad for Obama is just to throw off the Repugs and McCain. If I were Obama I would push the naming of the VP until after the Olympics and to the Dem Convention in Denver. Keep McCain off guard and guessing and then lower the boom on them with an Obama/Clinton ticket. Have Bill speak at the convention and gain that momentum going into the Repug convention and the last two months of the race.

I've been getting upset as of late that we haven't seen much of Hillary out there on the campaign trail for Obama. This may be why. A couple of months ago I wouldn't have accepted Hillary as VP - but as of the last couple of weeks - I've been getting concerned that the MSM is mounting a campaign to keep Obama down as much as possible to keep the election close in order to give the Repugs a chance to steal it again. Now I'm thinking with a Hillary VP announcement - that would put the nail in the coffin of the Repugs.

6. This is very interesting indeed

If Obama picks Hillary after all of this... with all the twists and turns he's put in the road... after making her keynote speaker to throw people off then WOW he is a genius! He will be winning two terms! It could not have been played better!

We'll see though. I will be floored and overjoyed if the pick is Hillary Clinton.
