It's not often that I get political in my blogs. Because of its historic nature, this will be the exception.Tuesday night, Barack Obama (D-Ill.) claimed victory and joined John McCain (R-Ariz.) as the main contenders to replace George W. Bush as the next President of the United States.
The big storyline from here on out is where Hillary Clinton stands in all this. The New York senator has been trading barbs with Obama and has been his top rival since Day 1. And while the question of the hour is if Hill-Rod would be willing to take a back seat and accept a Vice Presidential role is given, one must wonder if Hillary is the best choice.
After months of fending off Clinton's barbs, can Obama trust Hillary to be his VP? Would Hillary be the kind of VP that would undermine Obama?
Until Barack joined the party, it was supposed to be McCain v. Clinton. Then it turned to McCain v. Clinton v. Obama. Which in all reality, it was McCain & Clinton v. Obama.
If I were Barack, I'd be very careful with who I choose and how and when I choose them. Teaming Barack and Hillary could capture the minority and women's vote and probably the Presidency.
But is it worth it? Only time will tell.
