before the first debates....and has one task: to attack Obama.
Why? He's a new york city guy. Hillary's got a shot at the white house and is a new yorker now too. If agrees -- after some casual conversations about help with his pet projects down the line -- to run in 2008 with one task: get Obama so Hillary won't have to.
So if he jumps in -- watch out Obama. I think she'd cut a deal with him to bring down Obama -- get him to look bad sparring with Sharpton. She may have made a similar plea to Vilsack -- "tom, you run. run hard. Make a good impression. Muddy the waters in Iowa -- a state with no Clinton loyalty chits to cash in. You do this -- get your name out there -- protect me -- and gues who's on a VERY SHORT LIST for VP?"
These are the Clintons. Nothing ever left to chance. Watch and learn.

Sharpton has to be careful that he doesn't attack Obama to hard, he would be damaged goods if he is viewed as the guy who took down the best chance of a Black President. Also if he attacks Obama for not being Native Black the backlash in NYC would be enourmous. 40% of Black in NY are Caribean or African (to a lesser extent) and Sharpton would loose a huge part of his NYC base if he does that.
On Vilsack I think your spot on.
The Clintons play hardball, that is one thing they are very good at. I hope other Democrats who to often want to get acalades from the CW MSM crowd.
