I’m sure Ms. Adkins is a sincere Hillary supporter, just as I’m sure that when Hillary Clinton made reference to the “vast right-wing conspiracy” way back when, she really meant to say “Hollywood and the left-wing news-nut media.”

Probably not. And of course no other Democrat will rise to prominence during those eight years.

McInane Watch:

He runs one ad featuring Biden’s attacks on Obama in the primaries.

He runs another ad claiming that Obama by-passed Hillary because she attacked in the primaries.

The only thing keeping Krusty’s campaign temporarily afloat is his base: the AP, Faux, and Tweety/Joe.

You’re overlooking my point that the current Dem VP nom isn’t going to challenge Hillary Clinton in any year.

Bayh or Kaine as Veep would have had the inside track given two not-disasterous Obama terms.

I was about to say the same. And I was thinking when I watched it, what a damned shame it is that Hillary Clinton’s reputation will forever be sullied by her refusing to stand up to these harpies and the mewling idiots that listen to them.

Way back when, I was actually quite happy to see her doing so well and, even though she wasn’t my first choice, I would have been delighted if she became the nominee and would have enthusiastically voted for her. Not any more.

Now, because she apparently is flattered by the bogus cheerleading these hucksters are doing, she doesn’t realize they were never for her. Ever. But even if they were for her originally, she won’t say that she thinks they are wrong and immature and unsportsmanlike and hurting the party and the country because they won’t work for something good.

Being forever viewed as a petulant loser full of vengeance is not what I had always hoped would happen to the first woman to come so close to the Presidency.

You’re overlooking the fact that Biden may want to retire or to return to the Senate at the end of Obama’s first term. He seems pretty sensible.

I’ll tell ya who had a good week: Hillary Clinton.

Do the math: in 2016 she’ll be 69, still young enough for the White House.

Joe Biden will be 73, too old, and Biden Fatigue might also come into play.

We can reasonably speculate that Clinton would be the presumptive frontrunner for the Dem nomination in 2016.

What if Obama had picked the much younger Kaine or Bayh for Veep?

Not so good for the aging Clinton.

So I don’t buy the idea that Clinton is going to undermine Obama.

Not to mention the c-o-i-n.

Correction: McCain made the I Dunno My Homes gaffe on Wednesday, but it was reported on Thursday.

Clueless in San Francisco:

In the Insight Section of the Sunday SF CHRONICLE there’s a “Good Week/Bad Week” box that purports to pick the top winners and losers in the news that week.

Today it listed John McCain as having a “good week”…

Polling gods are smiling. He’s come back to even or slightly ahead of Barack Obama. The numbers blunt the bliss of this week’s Democratic convention.

They wrote this on Wednesday??

Incredible. On Thursday McCain made one of the greatest blunders in the history of Presidential politics, but when a Village organ like the Chron gets a horse-race meme in its pointy little head, the facts don’t matter.

And can you imagine the headlines if Obama had picked Clinton VP:

Desperate To Stop Slide, Obama Taps Clinton

Will Hil & Bill Outshine Barack?

Can Clinton Save Obama’s Sinking Candidacy?
