Why did Hillary do a 180 so quickly - altruism? Here's a better question: what would you do say, if you lost for class President by two votes out of 300 cast, with the cool kids all voting for your opponent? What would you do if you lost the promotion to someone who has ten years less tenure than you? Would you sing and dance? Put on a happy face like some naive fool?
No. Something's up here for Hillary to have done an about face in one week, ney, 4 days from a Tuesday to that Saturday of the final primary week. Something is up for there to be a VP vetting period with little to no activity going on, other than for exposing one of the vettors sweetheart mortgage deals. Something's up for the Obama lovefest and high praise of Hillary while she remains on the down low.
Barack is a halfway candidate with the other 50% of Democrats in Hillary's camp, and even if Obama wins over 90% of them, the stubborn 10% (1.8 million votes) will either stay home or vote centrist McCain, and no Sebillius, Biden or Nunn will change that fact. The difference between Gore and Bush was 500,000, and Kerry and Bush 3.5 million. Hillary's supporters are huge, and thus dictate!
The smart analyst would see the drama unfolding as the curiousity of who the VP grows. Let those in the know, those political junkies and seersayers toss out names like some hot stove league. It only builds the anticipation. But there is only one truth: If Barack wants to seal the deal, it's Hillary, the one with the other half of his votes - no one else.
