There could be some practical benefits to Obama selecting Hillary as his VP -- it would be a fast way to unite the party, and help Obama win over the Clinton democrats which is by no means a guarantee.  I don't see it happening, though.  No President wants to be upstaged by his VP; and he certainly doesn't want to be upstaged by his VP's spouse.

Scott, in Canada we do not have "Canadian Bacon". I have never seen it for sale and am not too sure what it even is. I looked it up online and I still do not know what it is. It just sounds like cooked ham.

Now, Maple Syrup, that is a different story. I used to have a roommate from Quebec who used to drink a glass of the stuff daily.

A glass of syrup?  I can't even imagine that.  Talk about sugar shock.

Well as you (and probably everyone else) realized I was being humorous in a way of pointing out that fund raising for furture campaigning isnt' the same as campaigning any more than saving up for college is the same thing as going to college.  Sure, one is the precursor to the other, but they aren't even close to the same thing.  That's just the most basic of common sense.

To argue otherwise starts to enter Twilight Zone territory.  Of course everyone can read any arguments that try to say that apples are oranges and make up their own minds.

So, Mike... Obama likely the candidat... Must be almost celebrating!

I am happy too!

And in other news, no more Freedom Fries... Hahaha...

I'm pretty excited.

Plus?  Sean Hannity announced today that as far as he knows, there is no Michelle Obama "Whitey" tape, so while I never believed it, good to know it's been put to rest by one of it's biggest supporters.  (Though, already, conspiracy minded types are saying that Rove put him up to saying that, so the moron voters will forget the issue, and that it'll seem like a fresh new surprise when he unleashes it in October.  But I still smell bullshit.)

My only worry?  It was announced today here in California that we're putting Gay Marriage on the ballot in November - this was one of the ways Bush won in 04.  But putting something like that on the ballot in enough states, it brought out the nuts, zealots, bigots, etc, who, by the way, voted for Bush.  In this case, I'm guessing the same nuts and bigots who would leave their caves to vote again' two people getting married would also be motived to vote again' some black man, so... there's that.  Hopefully this'll just be in California, which will go Dem no matter what, but... you never know..

"Most guys have two thresholds of female attractiveness:
1.  Attractive enough to date, and
2.  Attractive enough to wank off to."

I'm sorry, but you guys are setting your standards way too low here. There's no way Monica is in either category

Oh - I just re-read my post - let me be clear - missing points is like a college major on the internet, so...

When I said:  it brought out the nuts, zealots, bigots, etc, who, by the way, voted for Bush.  I didn't mean that anyone who voted for Bush is a nut, zealot, bigot, etc - I meant, those nuts, zealots, bigots, etc, voted for Bush.

Don't fall into fallacious logic  - A dog is an animal, but not all animals are dogs.

That picture gets me a little excited.
