Jerome Armstrong Hits The Crackpipe Hard

| 8 Comments

Kerry for VP. No, seriously. This is one of the leading lights of the left political blogs.

Well, it's a great plan, if you want a McGovern-type election...

Well, yeah. When the obvious choice is so clearly Dennis Kucinich...

I think Armstrong is predicting Kerry more than advocating Kerry - or does prediction produce instant approval in the true-believer's cognition-simulator? "Let us like him carry one shoe, and let the other be upon our foot ..."

Why are there no Florida or Ohio Democrats among the favorites? The best use for a VP is to deliver a fat battleground state.

A few days ago Big Tent Democrat at Talkleft ruled out Evan Bayh, on the grounds that the chances of Obama taking Indiana are so remote that even Obama's campaign can no longer delude themselves - and they are so smart that they can push delusion to its utmost theoretical limits. His pick was Biden - Experience at any price.

I'm trying to figure out how the Obama campaign will talk its way out of the contradiction of any candidate who voted for the AUMF getting picked as a running mate. To my mind that suggests that the most prudent pick would be a former or current governor.

I guess they felt insecure and needed someone with more houses than McCains wife.

BTW, it's Biden, and Obama just sealed his doom.

I wouldn't say he's sealed his doom, but he has thrown away any possible advantage a good VP would have given him.

He's also damaged any push he might get from the convention. The Hillary people will go into it with a fresh grievance.

Poor Gov. Richardson. So obviously a good choice. So obviously doesn't vet.

Choosing Richardson would probably have gotten Obama my vote.

Biden, not nearly as much.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
