[POLITICS: CHASING VEEP]

Hillary provides the buzz. No Hillary, no buzz. And it is begining to show. Obama and McCain made a fool of themselves on national TV. And if they (Obama and McCain) only want to choose people they are comfortable working with (even if the people they are going to choose as their VP are not as good and as brave as Hillary Clinton), then let's leave it to God to save America.
True, there is no magic name out there (other than Hillary Rodham Clinton), but choosing someone like that based on how much you like him or her, is a one way ticket to failure. Obama is not known as someone who can close the deal. He could not close the deal against Hillary during their primaries. He lost all the big states to Hillary. Will Obama choose Hillary and close the deal (and do the right thing for once)? Will Hillary say yes and prepare to take the blame for Obama's failure in the White House? Queers hope this time Obama can CLOSE the deal by asking Hillary to be his VP. Tim Kayne for Obama? Who the hell is Tim Kayne by the way?
It is true. And it is begining to show. I heard someone said this recently: McCain is too old, Obama is too young. Hillary is better, smarter and braver.
On another development...
Obama's letter to lesbian and gay parenting group recently.
"We have to do more to support and strengthen LGBT families. Because equality in relationship, family, and adoption rights is not some abstract principle; it's about whether millions of LGBT Americans can finally live lives marked by dignity and freedom." - Barack Obama
