If Obama does not select Hillary then how does he deal with the animosity in her camp? I was wondering about the antipodean.

What makes you think there will be animosity in the camp when the candidates have publicly stated that they will unify behind the nominee. MJ, there are many folks who come to this thread to just read and not post. So if you want to merely pick up your news on Obama from this thread without feeling compelled to post, it would be fine. It is similar to my reading your posts on other threads to pick up on your thought process. Have a good night.

IMO, the animosity in the camp of whatever Dem is left on the sidelines will likely subside rather quickly when the business at hand is defeating Jonn McCain. The challenge will not necessitate the tearing down of McCain personally,rather, it will be fairly obvious to all but those who vote for parties over principles, that a vote for McCain is a vote for continued Bush-like politics. Quite simply, McCain simply represents business as usual regarding an endless involvement in the middle east occupation/manipulation. No matter what people believe as to the validation or condemnation of the "war", it will be easily shown that a continued occupation will send our economy to it's death throes in short order. His promises of further tax cuts will be indefensible. Lapel flags and preachers, bullet dodging and false claims of experience will mean little as our economy falters, and the normally dormant American diatoms seem to be at least a little interested this time around. As for an Obama/Clinton ticket, (or vise versa in all fairness) I would think it would allow for more press folly and continue to be a distraction to the real issues. Can you hear ABC & Faux News headlines: "Who wear the pants on this ticket?....Is Hillary the next Cheeney?.....Do Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Obama cat fight off camera? etc etc etc.... Once the Dems get over this hump, I would think there will be a wave of momentum in short order once people see the absolute need for unity to effect any real change. WIJ BTW: I'm full of crap....if Clinton wins, I'm writing in "GORE"....screw 'em.
