Tinfoil time, Obama will decide to NOT pick a VP but will request the convention to determine the VP

[CK_John]

Pro's
a) consistent with change and a new way.
b) create a 24/7 M$M buzz to last for contention.
c) avoid asking Hillary directly to be VP
d) make all VP wannabes work for delegate support.

Con's
a) may look like avoiding a decision.
b) maybe nobody files for VP.
c) the convention breaks down in chaos.

1. Hillary would win in a landslide; her delegates would be unified, whereas his delegates

would be split between several options.

2. Would look..and be portrayed in the MSM... as Obama being incredibly weak and lacking leadership....

...and the sad part is.... they'd be right.



Personally, I know Obama has more conviction and leadership than that.

[CK_John]

4. But, but. . . it would make news. n/t

[scheming daemons]

9. Not the kind of news that Obama would want to make...

[WeDidIt]

3. IF Obama wants Hillary to be the Veep, that would be the PERFECT way to make it happen

Absolutely.

And ya know what? I'd be 100% behind it.

5. Bingo. n/t

6. no way. he said that picking vp is most important decision he will make

before being president.

for him to let the fates pick for him is just not going to happen, it would be foolish and possibly dangerous.
so get those crazy thoughts outta your head.

7. I warned you it was tinfoil time. Old proverb, a bad decision is better than no decision.

[oviedodem]

8. NOT A GOOD IDEA! Makes the choice become too much like a

sweepstakes and thus will be ridiculed. I can understand being a "trend" setter of sorts but this election cycle is too important to do that in.

10. Know what's funny? CK_John preceding a post with the words "tinfoil time"

Since he's the king of interesting conspiracy theories on DU!

You still think that McCain WON'T be the GOP nominee?

[CK_John]

14. Still think it will be Gov Jindal. n/t

11. "No drama" Obama? Are you outa your mind?

Never in a million years would any sane Presidential aspirant willingly cede such power.

13. Heard On One Of The Blabby Shows Yesterday
