So, after rewiring the bathroom at the cabin, and putting in the dock ladder, and fixing the bilge in the small boat, and building a little shrine in the woods for folks to say a prayer or two - after all that, I fired up the computer and dialled-up Hillary. Did she do what she'd said she'd do?
She did. A big, big send-off - look at that photo! - and it makes clear (to me, at least), that Barack can appoint Vice-Presidential search committees until the cows come home. But, if he wants to keep peace in the family, and if he wants to have a better shot at winning, she's it.
Yes, yes, I know: Hill and Bill will be handful. And she is not necessarily as popular with the unaligned vote as she is with registered Democrats. And she has steamer-trunk-sized baggage. I know all that.
But she and Bill will be an even bigger handful if they are outside the tent. And the two of them give Obama - an Ivy League Yankee liberal - some much-needed Southland blue Democrat DNA. And her baggage is old news (whilst Obama's is still newsworthy, and is about to be wheeled out to the National Enquirer and Fox News, within days, just wait).
This insane war in Iraq needs to end, and the U.S. economy needs to get back to what it had been under Bill. America needs some hope again.
With Obama and Clinton, you get that.
Now, where the hell is the bug repellant?
