WILL THE VP BE EDWARDS OR OBAMA? | 2008-01-27
OK. What I said about Obama was outside the understanding of both SFers and BUGS folk.
I believe that if I get back down to reading-with-your-lips political discussion, most will find it interesting but the minds I need will see how stupid it is.
Some Bob Whitaker on candidate James Edward staff is now negotiating to get Edwards put on Hillary's ticket. On this momentous issue, the average person will say, "But Hillary can't afford to alienate blacks that way."
We are back to the basic question of politics, "Where will blacks GO?" It doesn't matter, in 2008, the election on which that Bob Whitaker is makingh is living, whether blacks get mad.
The LAST thing Obama will do right now is lead a third party effort. He will huff and he'll puff, but it means nothing.
THAT Bob Whitaker will point out to the Clinton crowd that Democrats need the Southern white votes Edwards can give them. Meanwhile blacks are as sure to vote Democratic in 2008 as they were to chop the cotton in 1860.
So now I am on something SF and BUGS readers consider real and practical. Wow! We are no longer talking abut something complicated and ethereal like power politics. We are back to the PRACTICAL matter of the Number 2 Democratic slot in 2008.
Maybe the one or two SFers who are still reading my stuff at this point will feel rewarded for their patience.
