Her family will be held to closer scrutiny and there won't be a think they could do about it.

Put a VP canidate with no experience other than being a Kennedy on a ticket with Obama who has already been relentlessly criticized for not having enough experience. That decision would be the equivalent of Obama shooting himself in the foot. He needs to choose somebody that can stand up to the right wing on foreign policy issues. Biden would be a terrific pick. Even though he voted for the Iraq war, he has been a vocal critic of the war strategy and in my opinion is very knowledgeable about foreign affairs. That would be a horrible idea.

But the consequences of doing either of those will be yours to live with. What is it about Hillary supporters that make them so inflexible and willing to work with others? So sad.

This is just dumb. Together Carolyn and Obama would represent the "hype" ticket. All hype with Obama as the celeb and Carolyn's famous last name. They will lose for sure in the fall. What is Michael Moore's agenda? Mccain wins so he can make another movie or write a book. "her on name for the position" proof read your articles....

He has all the right credentials and probably one of the few military leaders ever to conduct a war (Kosovo) that yielded not one American casualty. That's a whoooole lot better than the current wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. I would love to see him take over and bring those two conflicts to resolution. Plus his military record blows McCain's out of the water and as that's the basis of McCain's platform, he won't stand a chance. Obama/Clark '08 I still think Wesley Clark is the right choice.
