Hillary's next plan - Hijack the VP spot or at least play games with it
I can see it coming. It may be motivated by the M$M. Remember who Hillary's friends are.
There is at least one flashy website > http://www.voteboth.com/ < which ABC is reporting. ABC is clearly pushing for the "dream ticket". Again, Hillary's friends.

This article >

claims to be an interview with Ted Kennedy. As you can see, there is one comment by Kennedy, and the remainder of the article is devoted to the new pet M$M meme of DREAM TICKET.

Kennedy on Obama-Clinton Ticket: Dream On

ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: In an interview with Al Hunt on Bloomberg TV, Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., an Obama supporter, has a particularly strong negative reaction to the idea of an Obama-Clinton ticket:

HUNT: What's your view of an Obama-Clinton ticket?

KENNEDY: I don't think it's possible.

HUNT: You don't? And what type of vice president choice do you think he should make? What type of person?

KENNEDY: Well, the first is always a demand that you're going to have someone that's going to be able to assume the responsibility. I would hope that he would also give consideration to somebody that has –- is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people. And I think if we had real leadership –- as we do with Barack Obama –- in the number-two spot as well, it'd be enormously helpful.
...

She is angling for the OFFER. I can see a twisted plot where she might even promise to reject the offer, but she wants it just to improve her status. I wouldn't trust her to keep her word about ANY FREAKING THING! (Everyone knows those votes don't count.) She needs to be politely jettisoned from the presidential vehicle asap.

I don't even like the mention of it. But obviously powerful people in the M$M are going to be pushing it as OUR choice.
