    Daschle said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Obama was looking for "the person who can serve in the capacity of President should he not be around. She's certainly in that category, but probably a lot of others as well."

    (This is the story linked in the diary).

    In other words--Hillary isn't so special.

    Daschle's remarks seem perfectly within bounds, and this diary entirely overboard--not that that's so unusual around here these days.

      Daschle didn't say anything Obama hasn't said.  At no time did anyone on Obama's team promise Hillary a spot on the ticket.

      An arguement can be made that Hillary has guaranteed Obama  a spot, but it would be a week arguement.

        Hillary's team is showing just how desperate they are.

          Monster Inc will do or say anything, see Ken Star for an example.

          My great hope is that when she goes down in flames she will take the DLC with her.

              •  LOL. the best I could come up with was (0+ / 0-)

                Hillary Monster McClinton.

                But I promised never to use Hillary Monster McClinton again, so that is the last time that you will see Hillary Monster McClinton here. I wonder if using Hillary Monster McClinton elsewhere is still appropriate. No, when I make a promise never to use Hillary Monster McClinton again, that mean that I will NEVER use Hillary Monster McClinton again. So it is only fair that I completely stop using Hillary Monster McClinton forever and a day.

                Say goodbye to the term, Hillary Monster McClinton.

    •  You are quite right -- I saw the interview... (2+ / 0-)

      ...and Daschle was just being blandly respectful towards Clinton -- he wasn't coming close to seriously floating her as VP.  The diarist is WAY overreacting here.

      In any event, it is moot.  Obama will NOT offer the vice-presidency to Clinton, which would totally undercut his "change" meme, and Clinton -- despite the diarist's feverish certainty she will do anything to be anywhere on the ticket -- would not be interested in the number two spot, after touting her two terms as First Lady as her president-in-training years.

      I will vote for whoever or whatever the Democrats nominate -- animal, vegetable or mineral.
