obama with his affliiations couldnt even pass a background check by some sources information, i have never said he was in with jackson and sharpton, obama is for real they arent political wise, but i dont support him, cant, he wants to raise taxes and supports abortion, those the big ones for me, dt

Re: Barak Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination
 

My point is that I am much more interested in his views than in his "connections". Some of the connections have been tenuous and incidental at best (like with Ayers), but that has been so hyped that it seems to preempt real conversation on his views. Everytime I hear Hannity rave for 30 minutes about that instead of about Obama, it makes him seem less credible and more partisan or vindictive. I want to know about his views and how he has governed and would govern.

Ok question for Dan and DT... or anyone else...

I asked this last night but it got passed over.

Do yall think he will take Hill as VP? And if so do you think the new accusations against Bill will hurt his race? Or do you think he will totally bypass her for that reason?

Re: Barak Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination
 

He and Ayers are two people prominent in the Chicago political scene and have served on boards together and been at the same functions... Ayers did despicable things when Obama was in short pants (no offense dt :). No one has demonstrated any more significant relationship than that.
I just am saying that when you begin to make mountains out of mole hills, people begin to wonder if there really are as many actual mountains as you may claim. Like I said I am not a supporter of any at this point but I am tired of politics and talking heads as usual.

Re: Barak Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination
 

I think he will only do it if he feels it is absolutely necessary to gain her supporters. There are just too many reasons that that could be problematic for him...not the least of which is that we live in a time when many people believe the VP has been actually running the country for two terms now. The office of VP does not seem as ceremonial as it used to. It used to be viewed more as a carrot and a strategic partnership primarily to garner votes.
