The MSM prove once again that they pretend to be able to read the minds of conservies, but they always end up with the wrong conclusion.

The media is trying to pull the Hillary supporters back into Obama's camp!

But they blame this thinking on the arch-enemy Republicans. 

Else they see their messiah losing partly due to the PUMAs. 

Hillary doesn't scare me, because she's only a slightly less empty (pants) suit than Obama. Remember, she claimed that being first lady was "experience." Don't fall for the hype, or the narrative based on that 3am phone call ad, where Hillary was the "experience" candidate. Sure, her experience was double Obama's, but that only meant she served one full senate term. She's as empty as he is.

And as we started learning from the in-house stories from her backstabbing staff, Hillary isn't a very good campaigner. Surprisingly, she couldn't make decisions. She would swing back and forth, favoring one faction, then another, searching desperately for a message. Instead of the staff helping her, it seemed that her staff(s) were waging their own internal wars against each other, and Hillary was at their mercy. You actually had to feel sorry for her. And the prospect of the Bill-monster coming to life ... I just don't see it.

My guess is that Obama's arrogance here is going to cost him. His best choice would be someone to reassure voters about his lack of executive experience. Kaine is a governor, but only in his first term. Obama needs more than that. He could easily make the argument (and it would be a respectable argument, I think) that you have to draw the distinction between the president himself and his administration. He could then argue that while the president himself doesn't need years of executive experience, the administration (as a whole) does need it.  But unless he can sell that distinction, Obama would feel that an experienced executive would spotlight Obama's own weakness. It would be a personal risk, and Obama doesn't take personal risks. That arrogance, and unwillingness to risk his image, could be his downfall.

...run with a young lightweight whose poll numbers are falling?  Out of party loyalty? (Yeah I know, what party loyalty?)

And if BHO wins she'd have to wait 8 years in a basically useless position to run for Pres in her own right besides while not getting any younger.

Sorry, it doesn't make any sense for HRC.  If BHO loses she steps in and says "I told you so" in 2012.  If he wins she just keeps her Senator for life seat.

Bottomline, Obama wins without Hillary on the ticket, Hillary will never be President. If Obama loses, Hillary has a shot in 2012. But we all said the same thing in 2004 with Kerry winning, Hillary wouldn't be able to run until 2012.

So Hillary is on target for 2012. She will get her debts paid off by Obama, she will put as many roadblocks as she needs out there and she will have those 18 million lunatics create as much havoc over the next 4 years as possible.

And in the worst case if Obama wins, what's to say his VP choice wouldn't face a primary challenge from Clinton if somehow Obama isn't really the Messiah and winds up resigning?

In the movie Heavy Metal 2000, deranged quasi-immortal being Tyler tells the protagonist "When you kill somebody... make sure he's dead."

Hillary is the political equivalent of Tyler.

Why pull her bacon out of the fire when you know she'll kneecap you once she's out of peril?
