I think Hillary is that lacking in a core belief system; however, I think she realizes that her credibility would be totally shattered if she switched parties; for better or for worse, she's married to the Democrats now, because it would be too costly to leave.  Hmm.

I agree. It's an absolutely crazy idea and would NEVER work. And she's smart enough to realize that. And so is McCain. In fact...why are we even talking about this?

For Clinton to be McCain's running mate, she'd have to be nothing but a cynical power-seeking opportunist with no core political values whatsoever.

And that's what makes it so plausible!

In fact, lemme slip off my tinfoil hat so the aliens can beam their instructions into my brain again... just a sec... yes, I'm getting a clear signal.

McCain, increasingly infirm, wants to die but doesn't want the shame or stigma of suicide to harm his family, so he picks Hillary for veep, thus insuring she will kill him in order to gain the throne.

Okay, my teeth are trying to to bite the cats again, time to slip the tinfoil hat back on, and apologize to the cats.

edit: tinfoil or not, typos will occur

Wayde, I don't possess the interstellar wormhole technology to communicate with the aliens.  I DO have a set-up with a Mr. Microphone and an array of 32 car batteries, but it will take 492 million light years for a response to my message: Hey good lookin', we'll be back to pick you up later.

"Tell the aliens I said 'Hi'."  Watch out for Wayde, people.  He craaaazy.
