The rumors are swirling that Hillary might consider asking Colin Powell to be her VP and that Obama may be considering NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Weird but interesting notions for each candidate. Pohell isn't exactly loved by Democrats, and he really screwed President Clinton, his commander in chief, to the tune of insubordination in the early 90s. Odd that there might be a rapprochement with the Clintons now. I'm not sure Hillary can or should trust Powell. And it's an interesting question, though not a very PC one, as to whether America will take kindly to the first woman president and first black vice president being on the same ticket (and even if they wouldn't, is that a reason not to do the ticket?) As for Obama, also a bit odd, talk of him considering a Republican, albeit a very moderate kind of Democrat one, isn't going to thrill party regulars.
