uggabugga — Bill Kristol, concern troll: (emp add) So Hillary Clinton gets about 18 million votes in 2008, and isn’t even considered for–she apparently isn’t even given the courtesy of being consulted–the vice presidential pick. Joe Biden manages to persuade a few thousand (if that) Iowans to support him. And Barack Obama selects Biden? Normally, if the VP pick came from that year’s presidential field, it’s the runner-up (Kerry-Edwards in 2004, Reagan-Bush in 1980, Stevenson-Kefauver in 1952). (Lyndon Johnson in 1960 hadn’t entered the primaries.) ...

Hillary Clinton Loyalists "Outraged" She Wasn't Considered for, or Consulted on, VP Pick
Ace of Spades HQ — ... Major Garrett on FoxNews said, flatly, that they are at most peeved about this.

Bill Kristol (who is Jewish like disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff) suggests a novel new means to press their ransom -- try to get Hillary's name placed in ...

If that happens, the greatest beneficiary of Obama's diss of the Clintons will be John McCain. ...

The Moderate Voice — ... But it’s a done deal now, so let’s press on bravely. In other news, William Kristol (yes… that William Kristol) seems to be looking to stir the pot with Hillary Clinton’s supporters in the wake of the Biden announcement. Understandable, I suppose. If you’re looking to get John McCain elected, the longer you can keep the PUMA crowd up on their hind legs, the better off you are. But even for someone looking to inspire malcontents, Kristol may have dipped a bit too far into the well when he actually said, (and others managed to ...

Honest, Unvarnished Advice

The GOP Glass Ceiling

Political Animal — ... , "White women are a problem, that's, you know -- we all live with that." But now that Joe Biden is joining the Democratic ticket, wouldn't you know it, Kristol has found the feminist within . Will the Democratic party, which is committed (to say the least) to gender equity, and which in fact has a 50 percent quota for female delegates, accept Obama's imposition of a glass ceiling at its convention?
