running mate at Brave New Films

Greater than the Average Joe Biden

2008-11-22T14:43:52Z

Citizen Kate caught up with Barack's official running mate Joe Biden for an exclusive 2-minute interview.

I had the opportunity to chat with Joe Biden in Iowa during the primaries. I thought he was a real straight shooter. And was disappointed when he dropped out of the race so quickly after Iowa. Before I had the chance to edit and post this video.

Well, now Biden's back in the game. And I'm not surprised that Barack picked him as his running mate. In fact, when people asked me who I thought Barack would pick, I said a person with lots of experience like Biden. He's been in politics for like 80 years or something. Although, I was secretly hoping for the -- Obama & Kate in 2008 ticket. It rhymes!

Note to self: If you want to be VP, you need to stay up late to answer everyone's questions.

Obama open to Hillary as Vice President

2008-03-14T18:15:38Z

Does this mean...dun dun dunnn... that Obama's implying that Hillary's Not Ready For Prime Time? What a slam. She must not be presidential material. She's so inexperienced. This must mean that it's inevitable that he'll win the nomination. Oh, wait. Those are her lines.

Right after Barack Obama won the Mississippi Democratic Primary, I had a chance to speak with him. Two points that he made stand out in my mind: 1) that he’s open to possibly having Hillary Clinton serve as his vice presidential running mate; and 2) that he believes there eventually will be make-over Democratic contests in both Michigan and Florida.
“Senator Clinton,” he told me, “is a very capable person, and, as I’ve said before, she’d be on anybody’s short list.”

That certainly doesn’t mean he would ask her to join his ticket — but it does mean he’s clearly not ruling it out.

Yeah, yeah. I'll believe it when I see it.

On the make-over contests in Florida and Michigan, Obama expressed some concern about the logistics for another election. Will, for example, a mail-in ballot work? But he noted that conversations were currently underway between the campaigns and the Democratic National Committee. “I’m sure it will get sorted out,” he said.

So what's the bottom line? Why, here's one now!

Bottom line: get ready for the Michigan and Florida make-over elections in June – after the last scheduled contest in Puerto Rico, now expected to take place on June 1.

Oh good, extended primaries. Just what we all needed.

Willard Mitt Hussein Romney flip-flopping back into the spotlight?

2008-03-11T13:02:59Z

Could it be that wishes do come true?

Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard reports that President Bush favors former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney as Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) running mate, as does Jeb Bush, who “preferred Romney over McCain in the primaries.” Bill Kristol also recently stated that “Mitt Romney would be good,” adding that he “vetted the idea with former White House aide Karl Rove.”

George has such impeccable judgment, I can't imagine his being wrong on this one.

And I'm just thrilled to bits and pieces to see a family reunion that includes KKKarl! Things just wouldn't be the same without him, now would they?

So whaddya think? Is there a John Sidney Hussein McPain/Willard Flipper Hussein Romney ticket in our future? If so, I better come up with shorter nicknames.

Bill Clinton: A Hillary/Obama Ticket An 'Almost Unstoppable Force'

2008-10-23T09:32:49Z

Whose "dream ticket" is this, anyway? Why are the Clintons talking it up so much?

[O]ne resident asked if Hillary would pick Obama as her Vice President. It is a question that Clinton is very familiar with, having been asked it nearly once a day back in the days of Iowa and New Hampshire. Usually, President Clinton shies away from answering, explaining that his family is VERY superstitious when it comes to politics and they never go thinking they've won before they really have.
Today, however, the President seemed especially tickled by the answer, and chose to share with his personal thoughts on picking Obama as a VP.
"She said yesterday and she said the day after her big wins in Texas and Ohio and Rhode Island that she was very open to that and I think she answered explicitly yes yesterday," Clinton began, referring to Hillary's own answers on the topic in recent days.
"I know that she has always been open to it, because she believes that if you can unite the energy and the new people that he’s brought in and the people in these vast swaths of small town and rural America that she’s carried overwhelmingly, if you had those two things together she thinks it’d be hard to beat. I mean you look at the, you look at the, you look at the map of Texas and the map in Ohio. And the map in Missouri or -- well Arkansas’s not a good case because they know her and she won every place there. But you look at most of these places, he would win the urban areas and the upscale voters, and she wins the traditional rural areas that we lost when President Reagan was president. If you put those two things together, you’d have an almost unstoppable force," Clinton went on to say.

Hillary will use that to entice voters who want them both on one ticket. Then what? It won't happen, that's what. It's a vote-getter, period.

Plus, Obama would never ask her to be his running mate, nor would she accept.

This is simply and obviously a way to get voters away from Obama, suggesting that they'd get a "twofer", a tantalizing come-on that will mutate quickly into a bait and switch.

Don't get fooled into believing this one.

George Bush, 2002: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

UPDATE: Obama's proving my point.
