Let's go, Democrats!

It's gonna be minutes or hours at the most before Barack Obama announces his choice for running mate. And I'll be disappointed if it's anybody but Hillary Clinton. Even though I didn't support Clinton in the primaries. But I think Obama may need Clinton on the ticket in order to win. The two of 'em together will be a dynamic duo. And it's a way for Obama to really unite Democrats. Heck, if he can't bring Democrats together, how is he going to unite the nation? Working with Clinton in sort of a co-presidency will be a lot easier than working with Republicans. There's really not that much difference between Obama and Clinton on issues. Yes, there may be something of a personality conflict. But so what? They both essentially want to accomplish the same things politically. And to have former president Bill Clinton more or less hovering around the White House -- that's not the worst thing in the world, either. Look at it as a bonus. It's time for the Democrats to hold power, and to rid this nation of the shame to America brought on by George Bush and his neo-conservative Republican allies. That may take a long time. Maybe eight years of an Obama presidency followed by eight years of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Let's go, Democrats! --Jim Broede
