Reply #58: I do not like it

My take is that it will bring the instinctual Clinton hate from the Right, resulting in higher than expected turnout for the Pug candidate, but neutralizes much of the "inspiration, hope, new" crowd, thus depressing the expected turnout for the Dem. Not a good way to victory, I think.

I perceive them both backed into a corner on this. Obama, speaking of doing it the "new way", would look less than good bringing in exactly the seeming epitome of the old he struggles against. Hillary, under her "experience" banner, and given her recent comments, would look less than principled, less than the fighter she claims to be, signing on to it.

Not to say it cannot, will not, or should not happen, but the prospect does not fill me with joy, at all. Instead it sets off all of my pessimism doom alarms. Like walking into a movie theater when you know the only moving starting in the next 2 hours is the latest Rambo travesty. Things could work out well, but all signs point to "Run away"
