If I were Obama I wouldn't even think about it, it'd be Blair/Brown on steroids !<BR/><BR/>As regard the JFK/LBJ comparison, LBJ was needed to even have a chance of carrying the south. That election is worth further reading, nowadays few bother to disagree that it was likely stolen by the Democrats in the shape of Daley & his Cook county organisation in Illinois. Nixon, to his credit, refused to contest the result saying that the safety of the US required a smooth transition of power.Yak40https://www.blogger.com/profile/10391635243252561168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-85456924534038065892008-02-01T10:14:00.000+00:002008-02-01T10:14:00.000+00:00Watch out Iain!

But US Politics does surprise sometimes - who would have really thought that LBJ would take second place on the JFK ticket - or that JFK would want him! But it won Kennedy the elction, no doubt at all. Where Obama is weak Hillary is strong. Wouldn't the prestige of being the first female Veep, plus West wing office (etc.) perhaps tempt Mrs C? Maybe not!Paddy Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847108655078927970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-47703312799219770022008-02-01T04:02:00.000+00:002008-02-01T04:02:00.000+00:00Here is that dreadful, drab banner again!
