Dismissing An Insult

by Steve Soto

I agree with Barack Obama on this one: Just say no.

Is Hillary being just a little presumptuous (and yes, insulting) to suggest that Obama be her second fiddle – and to do this after she suggested he wasn’t ready to be commander in chief?

Look, there is no chance that Barack Obama will be Hillary's Number Two, and his wife has already said that 2008 is his only shot. I suspect that there is very chance she would ever accept being Number Two to him, because Obama would never offer it to her. As a result, assuming that neither one of them would have the necessary delegates to win on the first ballot, this race will be decided at the convention, which is a recipe for shifting allegiances, delegate movement, and yes, a brokered convention where it is possible that neither one of them ends up with it.
