No Body Cares Calls It for B. O.

We don't care either, at this stage in the seemingly never-ending mess. But we dare say Mrs. Sen. Clinton will not be the veep nominee. It may be offered to her, as a sop to all her rabid supporters who've been whining about voting for McCain or not voting at all, but it will only be offered publicly w/ the understanding that she'll turn it down. This Great Nation of Ours™ being the hotbed of racism & misogyny that it is, if the Dems are offering a guy w/ even a touch of the tar brush in him, the vice-presidential candidate will have to be as white, square & male as possible, to continue the tradition.* And the possibilities are endless. There are one hell of a lot of white male squares taking up space around here. *Of all the white males elected president, only Hoover (Swiss German) the Roosevelt boys (French Huguenot) & Ike (plain old Kraut) had anything besides English, Scotch or Irish ancestry. And those four were all elected in the 20th century, & all had some of that British Isles blood in them. Matter of fact, no one of exclusively Irish ancestry has even been elected president. A paddy in the woodpile is OK, but not full-on paddyness.
