Despite the fact that I have always though that a Clinton Obama ticket was ideal (basically a guaranteed 16 years of Democratic presidents, with Obama gaining all of the experience people want him to have, and a strong experience leader to get us the fuck out of the millions of problems this country faces right now, thanks to Bush), I actually think that an Obama Clinton ticket would be the optimal situation right now. That way we can combine the Obama supporters and Clinton very different supporters without scaring people off to McCain's side. Also, we have Obama's new ideas and different views on politics, with a strong, experienced VP to back him up. Besides, we all know how much impact a VP can have on a president (see: Dick Cheney).
Of course, Obama supporters are freaked out that Clinton would take over and overshadow Obama, but if Obama is as strong a president as we have seen, then that shouldn't be an issue. I really, honestly and truly think that Clinton wants what is best for the country, and that people are demonizing her. If a man did this (and recent reports say that Obama DID do this shit to be elected to the Senate), it would be fine. But its a woman, thus a divisive bitch who will stop at nothing. But lets be honest here. From the get-go, Obama has been the media's star and Clinton the floor mat to be trampled. She never ever gets good press, while Obama so easily escapes these controversies (which, granted, are stupid and silly and not that big of a deal), having to do or say very little. Clinton, however, never gets off so easy.
Aaaaaaanyways, as I was saying. I really want an Obama Clinton ticket. I think that is our best shot at handily defeating the Republicans. So lets make that happen, people!

so, I am NOT AT ALL getting emails when you comment me like I used to!! I'm so sorry I haven't been responding! I thought nobody was reading my blog, lol :) I was all "Well, damn, no one thinks I'm interesting anymore. WHATEVER." Now I see I was WRONG!!
Thanks for the sympathizing post on my public speaking wretchedness; I got a B, so whatevs, but DAMN was I pissed off. Thanks also for the comment on the CNN viseo about that poor brain cancer girl ... I can't believe people sometimes. And also thanks for like all the others.
I miss you like whoa and we NEED to hang. I know diana and I have briefly discussed a road trip up there next month with her best friend Mary and time in Times Square,etc, but no plans have been made, really. Were you planning on taking a trip to Burg anytime during the summer?
We need like 6 or 7 lunches in a row. No joke.
Big kisses. How's the big apple????
