As the conventions close in there is but one question and a constant in both parties. Who is the VP and the first one to Hillary wins.
This is the first time I can remember when a VP selection meant this huge a block of voters, on either side. Let alone in campaigns that are clearly the only voter in their base away from winning The Whithouse. In theory both party extremes would sit out rather than switch sides, and both expect their candidate to pick a nominee who represents that part of the party platform. However their is a pig in the wood pile, one who could change this race turn this contest on a dime.
I submit to you that if either John Sydney McCain or Barrack Huesein Obama were to pick Hillary Rodham Clinton they would 99.99*% be our next Commander in Chief of these United States of America. Republicans don't dare risk Obama now that he has been exposed for his general ignorance. Democrats are all in and can't afford the coat tail effect of Republican voters going to the polls and almost certainly taking back the legislative branch of goverment, any lose would be catastrophic. Hillary could not possibly win a GOP primary either so it's safe for the Republicans, in theory. However any Republican could tell you that is like having Satan for supper. Democrats have to lock in 16 years if Obama gets elected and the last 8 would most certainly involve the Clintons.
The one way out I see for McCain is to ask a real African-American leader with executive experiance, former Lt.Govennor Micheal Steele (R) to accept the nod for VP. In my opinion at this point Obama is out of options, which means he will pick Hillary out of neccessity. If he does and McCain picks wrong it's over.
