Hillary And Obama's Publicly Secret Meeting

Is anyone really surprised that Hillary's recent demise in the democratic nominational running, would yield a truce meeting? I didn't think so. But after a secretive meeting between Obama and Hillary, the media has been abuzz the last few days with speculations of a so-called "Dream Ticket" possibility.

No one really knows what was said, as the only two present at the meeting at Sen. Feinstein's home, were Obama and Hillary.

And so far, neither of them seem to be open to divulging the topics of the meeting, other than it was not about the Vice Presidency according to New York Sen. Charles Schumer. Sure it wasn't. But it was reported that they both departed from the meeting "laughing." I think Hillary was laughing more at Obama than with.

From all the previous Clintonesque escapades in the past, I'm guessing she probably told him, "This is how things are going to pan out. I'm going to be your pick for V.P. spot, or I'll just have you 'off-ed'. Is that in any way unclear? Didn't think so." Eh, but that's just my cynical supposition. Besides, most of those fellow lawyers and staff the Clinton's used to work with all died of natural causes, right? (More cynicism.)

I'm guessing that he will pick her anyways, just because it's in his best interests to do so. A pretty hefty percentage of her backers will go with McCain if she's not on the ticket in one form or another. So do the logical math there.

In the end, we will endure waves of "political expert analysis" from all the various forms of media to learn, more or less exactly nothing new, that we didn't already know before. Other than, their meeting was secret, it was at Sen. Feinstein's home at about 9pm, and they left in a jovial mood.

Nothing more to speculate. Let's move forward, shall we?
