*Obama isn't Senator Dole, with her political pedigree, it is indeed apples and oranges.  I do have friends who are managing Obama, since its a very small world at that level of handling, and he has a decent shot. But in my opinon, and that of Dick Morris (albeit a Hillary hater, but most certainly a FOB.) he will possibly be offered the VP shot.  If not too throughly destroyed by the Clintons long before the convention.  --~ [[User:TK|TK]] ^{[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]} 18:08, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

**The name of the game is beat McCain.  Right now McCain beats all hands down (as he has for two years now).  McCain controls big donors, party apparatcheks, old Perot & Colin Powell middle of the roaders, and a few Democrats.  But the dirty little secret is <small>GOP rank and file core constituents, the tax cutters and the religious right, are not that enthusiastic about McCain.  His biggest problem is in his own party.  If Hillary is the nominee, then the core rank & file will come out to vote for McCain to stop Hillary. And a VP candidate such as Obama, as the record shows, adds nothing to the ticket.  This however, is where Bill Richardson can win.  If it’s McCain vs Richardson, and GOP rank & file stay home, Richardson could actually pull off the win, cause he doesn’t have the “high negatives”, as they are called, that candidates like Hillary & Gingrich have.  High negatives motive people to go out and vote against a candidate.  This is were the polling on McCain is deceptive, if it’s McCain vs Hillary, the Republicans will come out in force to stop Hillary; if it’s McCain vs Richardson, many Republicans will stay home rather than soil their conscience by voting for someone or something they detest.</small>  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 18:39, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
