A Way For Obama To Prove He Really Is A Different Politician

Barack Obama is all but the Democratic Party’s nominee for President. He has based his candidacy on the notion that he is different from old fashioned politicians–even though his track record in Congress would suggest otherwise; that he is willing to take chances.

Fine. The best way Sen. Obama can prove he is a different type of politician is to quickly select Hillary Clinton as his running mate as soon as she drops out of the race, which she will, barring something no would can predict right now.

If he can reach out and talk to America’s enemies, as he says he will, then he can reach out to Clinton who, after all, has virtually spilt the popular vote with Obama 50-50.

This would truly unite the party and give it its best shot to capture the White House in November.

But, despite his talk, Obama’s record shows he is a cautious fellow–likes to play it safe. That does not bode well for a joint ticket with Clinton—that is, unless he really is a different politician?
