Obama vs. Hillary: Punishment or Healing?
May. 23, 2008 11:35 amBy Thom Hartmann A...Last Sunday I wrote a short blog suggesting that Obama should consider Hillary Clinton as his VP www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/22/8163/74523/400/520298.
What has startled me even more than the roughly 30/70 "good idea"/"are you nuts?" emails I've gotten in response is the ten percent or so (on both sides, but mostly the latter) who expressed concern that with Clinton (or any "establishment/machine" candidate) on the ticket (a'la LBJ) that Barack Obama would face a fate identical to that of JFK.

Last night I found myself screaming at the television. What the commentators seemed to be saying was "Well, yeah, those folks out in
Not true.
I wanted to do a reality check. So, I checked in with Kari Chisholm of www.BlueOregon.com, which is the premier political blog in this state, the state of Oregon.
Obama - ask Hillary first
May. 21, 2008 7:25 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...by Thom Hartmann
The issue at hand for the Democratic Party for winning in ‘08 is not losing to McCain but losing to a divided Democratic party. The first thing Obama should do if nominated is put Hillary on the ticket. Will the Republicans have a field day with her on the ticket? Yes! Is their some bad blood in the water due to some negative campaign strategies on the part of the Clintons? Probably. Can Hillary be a tough fighter able to play tough allowing Obama to stay higher above the fray? Yes!

By georgevapThe day after the primary, Thom and Kari Chisholm debunk the idea that Barack Obama's win in Oregon can be discounted because Oregon "is such a liberal state". In fact, Oregon is as average as can be in many ways, and has a Republican Senator and a Republican Member of Congress. Oregon shows that Obama can win the country.
