OK,  so you've figured out I'm a huge boxing fan. So this is about a brilliant boxing analogy that can be drawn to the upcoming general election?

Obama represents former world heavyweight boxing champion, "Real Deal" Evander Holyfield. Holyfield had just gone through three grueling, drag-out fights with former champ, Riddick "Big Daddy" Bowe, as represented by Hillary Clinton. All the while "Iron" Mike Tyson, as represented by John McCain, has been sitting in jail stemming from a rape conviction. Well Mike Tyson (McCain) eventually gets out of jail. And he immediately  starts fighting bums. He gets quick first-round knockouts. And the press quickly touts that  "Iron" Mike Tyson/McCain "is back!"

Yet, what folks don't realize is,  while "Iron" Mike Tyson/McCain was sitting in jail ostensibly getting "soft" -- Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe (Obama and Clinton) have been engaged in an all-out war.

So when Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield eventually do meet in the ring, one is battle scarred and bruised, but he's in tip top fighting condition. The other is heralded by the media as a formidable beast,  but in reality he is a mere shell of his former athletic self.

So what happens in the actual fight? Evander Holyfield wins the fight by a vicious TKO in the 11 round over Mike Tyson-- and goes on to become the most heralded heavyweight boxing champion of the last two decades.

And if the  analogy holds true, Barack Obama will win in a methodical,  late-round stoppage over John McCain.

One thing though .. if there's a rematch, Obama has to make sure to protect those big ears.

It makes me nervous that the Democratic Party is pushing the concept of a "dream ticket" again. And since Barack Obama will reach the vaunted 2025 delegate count within weeks, he should not be made to compromise in any fashion on HIS choice of VP.

It's very interesting that recently when Ted Kennedy simply stated that he didn't think it was a "good idea" having Hillary as VP, Rahm Emanual slammed him in the press. He said, "...I don't know how the hell he comes off saying that". Something is underfoot to force Obama to take Hillary on as VP within the Democratic party. It's almost like there's a campaign being waged.

To be blunt about it, Hillary does not deserve to be on the ticket. She has run a dishonorable campaign. There is still a lot of drama within her camp. She has hit Obama below the belt many times.

Imagine her as VP in an Obama administration. He is attempting to change Washington, to prioritize the America people. But Hillary would keep taking the largest amount of lobbyist contributions of any congressperson?. In effect she would still be obligated to serve their interests. And this will quickly lead to a huge fissure between her and Obama.

An Obama/Hillary ticket is a disaster in the making. And it must be opposed at all costs.
