Who does RW media want Obama to pick?
Caught a few minutes of Imus's NYC radio talk show this a.m. Imus evidently was out sick and was replaced by sportscaster Warner Wolf and a certifiable moron named Bernie.... who I believe may be Imus' longtime sidekick.

Anyhoo... they were joined by onetime RW Congressman John LeBoutlier... who once raised havoc in the House but was eventually retired by the wise citizens of Long Island.

The panel's consensus: Bayh would be the best pick for Obama 'cause Bayh was ultra-boring and that's what an "electric" candidacy like Obama's needed. Obama's worst choice: Biden. He's a "plagiarist" and a "loose cannon". They can't wait to run against Biden.... so they said.

I took it to mean that Biden is the choice that caused the most concern to this uncommonly dimwitted cabal of RW hacks. And that, in putting him down, they were whistling in the dark, so to speak. (I prefer Biden, so perhaps I'm biased.)

There's only so many hours in the day. I just happen to catch this sad little gaggle on the car radio. What is the rest of the *activist* RW media saying on this topic?

1. They want Clinton.
They're prepared to destroy her. Biden's a close second for them.

7. I'm thinking this particular group thinks HRC is out.
And... like most of the rest of us.... it's down to Kaine, Bayh or Biden.

Why is Biden a close second? Longer record = more vulnerable target?

3. Hillary
Bill's business ties after leaving office would be a gold mine for a smear campaign.

4. HRC. Even during the primaries they wanted McCain against HRC
because they said it would be an easy run. So definitely HRC is their pick hands down.

8. Is that what they're *saying* , or is that what they really want?
Seems to me, at this point they'd be talkin' up people that they think thay can beat .

If they are saying they'd like to run against Clinton, I suspect that they're actually apprehensive about that prospect.

6. They don't give a shit as long as it causes trouble in Denver
So that means one thing - HRC.
