Nader says Obama will pick Hillary
   
“I don’t think he’s that dumb,” said Nader, commenting on widespread speculation that Obama’s choices are down to Sens. Joe Biden, Evan Bayh, or Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine.

The smart pick, according to Nader, is Hillary Rodham Clinton. Nader phoned into Politico Tuesday afternoon to offer his prediction that a surprise nod to Clinton is actually what Obama has in mind—never mind the talk of mistrust between the Clintons and Obama.

I guess everyone is now joining the guessing game on Obama's VP pick. Wonder what McCain thinks.

1. Who does Barr think McCain will pick?
   
I forgot, the media only pays attention to you if you have the potential to hurt democrats.

6. Well, I finally agree with Nader on something.
   
Of course, since it makes sense, it will never happen. Yeah, pick Kaine or Bayh. The country will give a collective yawn.

7. McCain's hoping it won't be Hillary.

I dunno.  Given that Republicans and conservatives have considerable problems reading John McCain's mind, it's even less likely a primitive, or an Obamaite primitive, can too.

23. Yep, that's what they say at the Freepers and other RW sites. They are praying that Obama doesn't pick Hillary, they think that it would be a sure way for McCain to lose if he picks her.

But heck, why try to unite the party.........

Are we afraid of the worthier Democrat candidate, folks?

franksolich didn't get that memo.

13. Who gives a damn what he says? His political instincts stink.

25. I find this a little funny coming from Nader
   
Back in 2007 Nader said Clinton, a Democratic front-runner for the White House, has "no political fortitude."

"Flatters, panders, coasting, front-runner, looking for a coronation, not taking on the huge waste in the military budget as a member of the armed services commission, never going after the corporate crimes against pensions, against workers. ... She has no political fortitude."

Nader wants it to be Clinton, because he knows that she will drag down the ticket. His goal seems to be the defeat of Democrats above all else.

That's a pile of democrat brains.  I've read nothing of the sort.  I think the consensus is that Hillary will be a perfect choice.  Her negatives are higher than Barry's.  It would be poison.
