Challenge Number One

Barack Obama has now selected three people to head up his search for a vice presidential candidate -- Caroline Kennedy, Eric Holder, and Jim Johnson. At the same time, Hillary Clinton partisan Bob Johnson has begun to publicly lobby for her inclusion on the ticket -- apparently with her support.

So that makes Barack Obama's first challenge figuring out how to unify the party while at the same time saying now to this disastrous idea. There are so many reasons I could choose from to make the case why Hillary would be a diastrous VP, but the easiest one is this: Bob Johnson.

Meanwhile a commenter reminded me about this video of John McCain laughing as one his supporters referred to Hillary Clinton as the B-word. Anyone who votes for McCain because they think Barack Obama is a sexist needs to see that video. (And they need their heads examined.)
