Samantha Power rejoins Obama

[Lunar]

This is kind of a slap in the face to Hilldawg

I wonder if she might not become SoS after all.

I'm kind of pulling for Kerry, whom I think is less likely to "go rogue" in Palinspeak and because I feel bad for droopy-dog and would like him to have a consolation prize that he wants so badly (while Hillary is torn 50/50 whether she'd even like the job).

That's reserved for polar-themed politics you bastard!

Is this kind of like when people were predicting that Hillary would screw up the DNC, or try to undermine Obama in the general, because she's just evil like that?

Um... it's kind of like that but not like that whatsoever.

LOL. What I do like about Hillary critics nowadays is that at least you guys are starting to make some predictions that can be proven true or false.

What can we say?  We love unbeatable logical fallacies.  It's in our acne-influenced nature.

As far as Kerry, if he wanted to do that he should have tamped down on the Hillary speculation when it first started.

Kerry's not that smart.

If she's not selected after the past 2 weeks of speculation, it would be a huge slap in the face. Then again, Obama has shown poor judgement in the past, such as when he blew his GE lead from June to September and was only saved by the financial crisis (sure you could say he would have won anyway, and I actually think he would have-narrowly- but it would be solely on the basis of Republican failures and the issues, not anything he or his campaign did that was particularly smart).

Amusing interpretation of events

Edit- btw, a summary of major periods of Obama leads in the GE
1. In June right after Hillary dropped out and endorsed him
2. In August right after Hillary endorsed him again at the DNC
3. After the financial crisis and bailout occured

Two of these leads were given to him by Hillary, zero were generated by the actions of his own campaign, LOL.

Another amusing interpretation of events

As much as I love being cryptic, I was commenting on your insanely Hillary-centric interpretation of history.  Everything that could possibly be linked to her is done so with a fifteen ton anchor.

[Lunar]

I mean, sorry dude, but every time Hillary sneezed, Obama's poll numbers weren't affected.  You may like Hillary, but she was a non-factor as soon as she endorsed Obama and didn't provide the media with any "I'm discontented" buzz stories...

Her full commitment helped Obama, but outside of that and the lack of drama, she wasn't responsible for his victory.

[Lunar]

No worries.  Her tireless campaigning for Obama was important to his victory and both the Clintons' DNC speeches were utterly important in shaping media and public attitudes for where they stood.  Without them, Obama would have had a much harder time winning.

But still
