Obama: Next Democratic Presidential Nominee

The First Good Two-Term Democrat in Over 70 Years?

When all the hub-bub over the Presidential Race of 2008 began, I made my predictions. Not necessarily here, at Associated Content, but to those around me. I knew who would win the Democratic Nomination but I ran into doubters. Living in the Mid-West and a primarily white, rural area, I
 ran into many doubters, but as of a report by Reuters it seems I was correct. It seems Mrs. Hillary Clinton (yes, ladies, let us not forget that it is "Mrs. Clinton" not "Ms. Clinton", a personal pet peeve, but honestly it should be "Senator Clinton", actually), yes, it seems Senator Clinton will be having a bit of a party this weekend and announce that she is dropping her run for the White House and putting all her support or in her own words she will "strongly support" Senator Barack Obama's bid for the White House and will try to unite The Democratic Party and bring them together all behind Senator Obama. She just wants the Vice-Presidential nomination. She thinks she will pull it off. She won't. I'll tell you who I think will, right now, Senator John Edwards will get it. I wouldn't let that bitter, griping, nagging woman be my Vice-Presidential candidate. An Obama/Clinton ticket in the 2008 Presidential Race, hell, you might as well gift wrap the White House of Senator John McCain and the Republicans for another eight years, because if it is Obama/Clinton that is exactly what will happen.

Right on! Thanks for the correction Paul, I'm positive of that being a typo. As Gene's wife, I support him fully, but he does type a bit too quickly and rarely proofs his stuff sufficiently.

Good article Gene. The potential of an Obama presidency is breathtaking. It is rare that someone comes along and energizes people the way he does--and I agree that Hillary would be a bad addition to the ticket because she undermines the momentum he's gained and his message in a number of ways. Also, just a friendly correction, and it was probably just a typo on your part, but it was Andrew JOHNSON who was impeached, not Andrew JACKSON.
