Political Poop '08

Barack and Hillary appeared at a Unity rally in New Hampshire on Friday. But what might possibly be of more note was the fundraiser they appeared at on Thursday night. As you know, Hilz is in debt up the wazoo, so Barack joined her at a fund raiser and he and his wife personally donated $2,300 to her cause. That is the max that any individual can legally donate.
"We have to make it a priority in our lives to elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States. I know my supporters have extremely strong feelings, and I know Barack's do as well. But we are a family, and we have an opportunity now to really demonstrate clearly we do know what's at stake, and we will do whatever it takes to win back this White House."
Barack added, "I recognize that this room shared the same passion that a roomful of my supporters would show. I do not expect that passion to be transferred. Sen. Clinton is unique, and your relationships with her are unique. Sen. Clinton and I at our core agree deeply that this country needs to change. I’m going to need Hillary by my side campaigning during his election, and I'm going to need all of you."
He asked for the votes of her supporters but still has yet to announce whether or not she’ll be joining him on the ticket. The only response he had to such rumors was that she “would be on anyone's short list." Source
I seriously wonder if Barack will run with Hillary. On the one hand the thought of having a black man, and a woman in charge of the country is exciting and fascinating. But and however, pigs would fly, hell would freeze over, and I’d pay my cable bill on time before that would go down. So um, if he wants to get any closer to the White House, he might want to drop any ideas of running with that ball busting broad. Just a thought.
