Now is&nbsp;behind&nbsp;the scene&nbsp;move. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Buried in a list of new appointments the Obama campaign announced Monday was this: "Chief of Staff to the Vice Presidential Nominee: Patti Solis Doyle."</p> <p>Remember Patti? She was Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, until she got canned in February...<a href= "http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/002833.php" rel= "nofollow"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style= "color: #0066cc;">er, left the campaign</span></span></a>. <a href= "http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200802u/patti-solis-doyle/2" rel= "nofollow"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style= "color: #0066cc;">Here's a good backgrounder</span></span></a> on her departure from "Hillaryland" -- a term, which apparently she coined.</p> <p>The reaction from Hillarylard. A Clinton insider <a href= "http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docid=news-000002897969" rel="nofollow"><span style= "text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0066cc;">told CQ</span></span></a>: "Translated subtitles aren't necessary. There is no other way to interpret this other than '[Expletive] you.'"</p> <p>Yeah, yeah, so this is inside-baseball stuff, right? Not really. If PSD is Obama's czarina of Vice Presidential Nominee, then guess who probably isn't going to get the nod? Uh-huh. And some of Hillary's peeps are p.o'd.

"Why would they put somebody that was so clearly ineffective in such a position? It's a message. We get it." She said it was a "calculated decision" by the Obama team to "send a message that she [Clinton] is not being considered for the ticket."</p> <p>Indeed. Even though Patti's farewell statement from Hillaryland said, "I have been proud to manage this campaign, and prouder still to call Hillary my friend for more than sixteen years," apparently the two haven't spoken since.</p> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 11:21:09 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2163:295633:8172793 Arapahoe http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2163/topics/295633 <p>i think its like the NBA final it ain;t over till is over.</p> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 04:06:26 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2163:295633:8144135 Arapahoe http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2163/topics/295633 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by Short Ninja:</div> <div class="quote_body"> <p>Is there a fat chance of Obama having Hillary as his Vice -President?</p> </div> </blockquote> <p><br /> Former US President Jimmy Carter said that would be the biggerest mistake.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I think&nbsp;Hilary is playing her game so not sure the exact outcome.</p> <p>I personnally think it is a mistake to get hilary as a VP.

Democrats have a better social friendlier policy.&nbsp; I think Obama will most likely win the nomination by the numbers, AT the end of the day &nbsp;I do not think that American public want to see Bill Clinton back in the white house.&nbsp; I got a feeling that most superdelegates want to break the cycle of&nbsp; Bush, Clinton, Bush Clinton cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp;When it comes general election people might serious think about&nbsp;this unusal cycle in American politics.&nbsp; A very clear message&nbsp;kept coming out from this primary is that all the Bill's people is switching to Obama. That might be a message &nbsp;</p> <p>Hiliary is going into the white house with lots of&nbsp; liabilities that seemed to continue&nbsp;from Bill. The republican would actually like Hiliary to Win and hope to win back the house in the Mid term.

He was already serving his country when Bill Clinton was still a kid evading military service while his country was at war.<br /> <br /> I'm not a big fan of John McCain but please remember that Bill Clinton was instrumental in giving North Korea a nuclear reactor. Look how well that turned out. God only knows what his chicken hawk wife would do if elected. Other than raise taxes of course.<br /> <br /> Personally I hope that Mrs.Clinton gets the nomination. Since the Republican party is not running an actual conservative.
