I know you'd just love the California connection, WB, but I don't think a 75 year-old running mate is such a good idea. Be kinda hard to knock McCain on his age if he's got a running mate that's older than he is.
If he takes a woman and it's not Clinton, look for Claire McCaskill of Missouri.

She's from a "Show-Me" state, so she's OK.

The recent racism charge against her, and her defense of the statement, alienated a large portion of the Democratic electorate. She's out of the running, despite her excellent civil rights record.

Hillary could be negotiating a withdrawal from the race. Would she accept the next vacancy on the US Supreme Court and having Chelsea Clinton replace her as the NY Senator? What is her plan?

I believe Bill Clinton doesn't have much to do nowdays, maybe he'd like the VP's job? After all, plenty of free time to entertain the interns in his office.
Could he be worse than Cheney?

ABC News' Ed O'Keefe Reports: Perhaps there will be a Madame President Clinton after all. No, not Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. How about former first daughter and active campaigner Chelsea Clinton?
"If you asked me (if Chelsea would run for office) before Iowa, I would have said, 'No way. She is too allergic to anything we do.' But she is really good at it," former President Bill Clinton tells PEOPLE magazine in their latest issue, hitting newsstands Friday.
In the PEOPLE exclusive, Clinton called his daughter's "emergence" the "second best thing" of the campaign, after his wife's "ability to endure in the face of all the blows that have been rained on her: outspent, dismissed, denigrated, declared dead...when I met her, I found that in her personal relationships she lacked self-confidence and was painfully shy. She is having more fun now than at the beginning. If you look at her, she seems perfectly relaxed, doesn't she?"
When asked what he's learned about Chelsea's political skills, Clinton told PEOPLE, "It all changed after Iowa. She realized her mother lost Iowa 100 percent because of younger voters. She was upset, bawled, went to her employer and said, 'Look, you got to let me go or give me an indefinite leave of absence. I'm not letting my mother go down like this.'"
The former president strongly rebuked the suggestion that the Clinton campaign ever played the race card against Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
"I was really hurt about it at first. I am way over being hurt. This was cold-blooded, calculated, manipulated and a revolting strategy," Clinton said, in reference to the accusation that the Clinton camp stoked racial fears during his wife's bid.
When asked the seemingly open-ended question, "Is there anything you want voters to know?", Clinton replied, "When I was so tired, I either was not as precise as I should have been or I seemed angrier than I would have been. That's always my mistake. If I am to have any blame, that's it."
Clinton also said he didn't know Obama very well but called his wife's Democratic nomination rival "an immensely talented man" before adding, "I think I understand him. There are enough similarities in our childhoods and things that I think I get what he is doing. But I do think it's better to have made a lot of decisions before you get to be president."
Telling PEOPLE he speaks to his wife "probably three times a day", Clinton explained, "I got in the habit of not being an e-mailer when I was president because we had Newt Gingrich, who wanted to subpoena every e-mail ever written in the White House."
When asked whether the nomination fight would go all the way to the convention, Clinton replied, "It depends on what happens between now and then. It's been really funny that when when all she asked was to let all the votes be counted, the response from the other side was to pressure as many superdelegates as possible, in districts mostly that she carried, to come out against her."

Political Radar: Madame President Clinton? Chelesa Clinton That Is

i suppose if chelsea screws it up too we'll have her kids on the campaign trail next

At this rate the Clinton dynasty could overhaul the Kennedys. Bill, Hilary, Chelsea (child of Chelsea etc etc). With Edward going down, the baton may be passing on...

Earlier in the week, I predicted Clinton would leave the race by this Friday. What was I thinking? There is no way that is going to happen.

I was just reading about how Clinton is out on the trail comparing Michigan and Florida not being seated to the civil rights struggle and abolitionism. What an entirely insane and absurd analogy. Seriously, at some point enough spineless superdelegates are going to have to step up and end this thing.

If I was Obama, I would call her bluff and push to seat the Florida and Michigan delegations in full. The funny thing is that her entire argument is just nonsense, even with Florida and Michigan's delegates she still loses. She is desperately clinging, but I still can't quite figure out why. The best reason I can think of is just to turn so many women against Obama's campaign that he loses the general as a result. The other day Bill Clinton was out on the stump claiming Hillary was the victim of "blatant sexism" from the Obama campaign. You be the judge as to what the hell that is all about.

Are you sure. Remember Earl Warren.

Earl Warren's nomination and appointment to the USSC was caused in part by his support for Eisenhower in the 1952 campaign, although whether an explicit deal was ever in place is not known. So much for US presidents "not" making deals to place political supporters in the USSC.

In 1946 Governor Warren appointed William F. Knowland to the U.S. Senate. Democrats claimed it was political payback, as Knowland’s father Joseph R. Knowland and his paper the Oakland Tribune supported the political career of Warren. And so much for political supporters "not" being given the US Senator seat.

If history is a guide, it certainly is conceivable, though not likely, that BO could appoint HC to the USSC. And the Governor of NY could then fill the vacated US Senate seat with Missy Chelsea.

But Chelsea would have to quit her job as a Hedge Fund manager.
