Yeah, Dismal, you and I have to get silly sometimes when discussing such silly issues. On another thread, I was asked by someone if I could praise Obama's qualities without running down Hillary. I think that is a fair enough request. But in a contest where we have to choose one from among two candidates, we have base our decision in favor of the "better" candidate. As soon as we say better, it becomes a comparison. And the criteria we set needs to be something that is intelligent and relevant to people's concerns. And here we have folks coming to this thread to post such ridiculous stuff and expect to be not ridiculed.

OK, thread. I have two questions for you. Only serious debaters need answer. I don't need for the "Obama is a Muslim" crowd to get involved in this debate. ;) 1) Is there any chance that Obama picks Pelosi as his V.P.? They seem like two peas in a pod and she is the most powerful woman in Washington. So is there any benefit to that? 2) When Hillary finally gets it through her thick skull that she won't be the nominee, do any of you think she will start another Party under which to make a run on the White House? Thoughts?
