Hillary make them beg!

(Behind closed doors, of course - - smile for the camera.)

Make Obama admit he loses without ya!

Make the Axelrod / Plouffe all male he man woman haters club running the campaign admit their conscious deliberate strategy was to use race and sex as swords and shields.

Make Daschle and Kerry admit their jealously over one Clinton getting to the White House, and their rage that a WOMAN named Clinton could get there before them, too.

As they say at the amusement park, "strap yourself in."

Will anyone object if Senator Clinton is the VEEP?

I don't like Hillary, but if she's the VEEP I will salute.  

While I disagree with her, I do think she's attractive (she looks alot younger than her age), plus she's devious (which is alluring).  Hell, if she wasn't married, I'd ask her out.  We'd have a great time fighting like cats and dawgs. She would get hooked on me - I like conflict and she digs swagger.

Look, I come to the issue from my prior experience as a Deaniac.  I didn't get Howard on the ticket and it was a let down.  It was sad, to be sure, but I didn't I didn't freakout or worse, vote for Bush.

Ditto with Gore putting Joementum on the ticket.

P.S. According to CBS and Howard Fineman at MSNBC the selection will likely be announced Thursday nite or Friday morning.   And Andrea Mitchell says Saturday in Springfield.

That makes sense, Bill Clinton named Al Gore as his VEEP on Friday, July 10, 1992, three days before the Democratic convention.

Of course, that could be a head fake and the announcement could be made in a few hours!

P.S.S. Also, Andrea and Rich Lowery of N. Review say McSame is asking state party chairs if the Fundies would freak if he VEEPS fellow war monger, Joe Lieberman.   Of course, there is another side to this coin.   Another reporter, I think Jonathan Alterman, says this type of inquiry is only ruse, used to make the selection of Mitt Romney more palatable.   Palatable, cuz the Fundies don't like morons Mormons.   What an effen party; the Republicans.

I'm going to say what everyone is wanting to say.  We all know who the best VP candidate (hell, the best candidate period) is, it's Hillary.  Obama is shooting himself in the foot if he doesn't pick her.  She got 18 million votes, it's time to aknowledge that truth.

So Obama, this message is for you.  Select her and you just might get my vote back.  Don't, and I will actively work against your election, pushing Mc Kinney and Nader with all my strength and financial resources.  Your campaign is rife with obfuscations, outright lies, panderings and changes of position.  You have abandoned your progressive 'ideals' (if you ever actually had any) and thrown us all under the....train.  Off the bridge.  Whatever.

So this is your final warning.  Choose Hillary, or prepare to lose to McCain.  Because, as we can all see by the polls, without Hillary you lose.  You just don't have the base of support required to win a US presidential election without her.

Choose Hillary.

Or else.

This is your final warning.

UPDATED: Since the HR abusers keep HRing my posts, I will put them in the diary. Responding to one comment: Yep, they need us now. Their flawed candidate has no chance without Hillary. I want them to beg. It will be very funny. Funnier will be if he picks her and she turns him down. Now THAT would be worth seeing.

If you are going to be in Denver next week for the Democratic Convention check out the Starz Green Room.  Their description:

The Starz Green Room at the Starz FilmCenter offers major movies, newsmakers of all stripes and a place for delegates, media and notable guests to gather. Just a respite from the 2008 Democratic National Convention, it is mere steps from the Pepsi Center. The Starz Green Room includes topical panels, politically themed films and a VIP Lounge.

As the officiant says, "speak now, or forever hold your peace."

Will anyone object if Governor Sebelius is the VEEP?

I offer no judgment on her selection.  

I look at this coldly - I don't like Hillary, but if she's the VEEP  I will salute.  Look, I saluted when Al Gore put Lieberman on the ticket, even thought he didn't represent my opinions.  The last thing I wanted was the Texescutioner in the White House and the return of the Bush-Crime-Family.  I was right.  

Oh, hell, yeah.  One of my favorite fellow GLBTs / progressives is going to replacing the milquetoast Dan Abrams on MSNBC!  

Per the NY Times:

(and who knows if it is or not)

'Twas the night before Veepmas, when through Daily Kos
users were betting who Barack liked the most.

The diaries were screaming "pick this one or that!"
In hopes that Obama soon settles the spat;

These are the early numbers from the WA state primaries.
