Quote of the Day
Michael Weiss on the possibility of the Hillary pick:
"I appreciate that there are only so many policy talents to choose from in Washington, but Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gibbs, John Podesta, H.R.C. and (in all probability) Larry Summers is more like Plus ca change you can believe in. And judging from the arctic smile afixed to John McCain's face today during his long-awaiting truce and reconciliation meeting with the president-elect, he seems to realize that the one barb his schizophrenic campaign failed to let fly was that a vote for Obama would be a vote for Bill Clinton's third term."Posted by Karol at November 17, 2008 11:50 PM | TrackBack

I think it will be very interesting indeed to see who is picked....I do Hillary has a very good shot on being chosen.

It's precisely why I've been saving my gloaty smile.

Posted by: Casca at November 18, 2008 10:52 AMThe only way this makes sense for Obama is as a way to muzzle Bill.
I don't see any way in which it makes sense for Hillary.
(Fourth in line of succession means a lot of Vince Foster, which would make anyone suspicious.
I kid. Mostly.)
Color me baffled.
Posted by: Mark Poling at November 18, 2008 11:33 AMI think Weiss is giving McCain too much credit. Even if he had the creativity to come up with that barb-which I doubt-there's no way he would have used it against Obama during his campaign.
