This morning's report of negotiations with the Clinton camp and the Obama camp is certainly unpleasant news to this Democrat.  Neither was my first choice.  Both are corporate/centrist Democrats which is, to say the least, a tremendous disappointment particularly in light of the opportunity real Democrats/liberals/progressives had to support candidates who would actually make real changes in Washington.  But at this point there's no use crying over spilt milk.  Obama is going to be the nominee.  He won the race fair and square.

Given Clinton's behavior, statements and antogonistic posture the past few months it seems inconceivable to me that Obama would choose her as the number 2 on the ticket.  I would not trust her as far as I could throw her if I were him.  Her hunger for power is disconcerting at minimum and at times downright repulsive.  Her corrosive tactics, her sense of entitlement and her bitterness convince me she should not be allowed to be too close to too much power---ever.

There are many very good choices for Obama for Vice President.  But Hillary Clinton?  I don't think so.
