This is exactly why I don't watch CNN much. Whether it's Lanny Davis or anybody else, you put them in a room where they can talk without all the banging and clattering.
It's broadcasting 101 and CNN pretty consistently shows their incompetance.

For my money, Arianna, you're one of the few who understand what's going on. I couldn't believe all the Hillary / VP talk. Old schoolers just don't get it. They don't understand the need for change because they've prospered under the old pork barrel regimes. What people want most from their politicians right now is honesty and integrity.

He can't choose Hillary as his running mate because that would be giving in to the old ways. It would defeat the purpose of his candidacy.

Why doesn't anyone pick up on the introduction to Hillary last night, Terry McAuliffe welcoming her to her podium as "the next President of the United States?" All this talk of unity and "she'll do the right thing." Has she ever done the right thing yet in this primary? And is that introduction any indication that she plans on "doing the right thing by uniting the party" now?

Lanny Davis clearly was embarrassed by the outrageous petition that he has started to force Senator Obama to put Senator Clinton on the ticket. Hopefully Senator Clinton is equally embarrassed. She now has less than 48 hours to show her true character.

Absolutely marvelous.
Hillary ignores the facts when it is convenient.
Obama is Obama. Give him his due on his OWN merits.
I love Gore Vidal's piece on knowing JFK, saying that Obama is not JFK. He knew JFK, and Obama is no JFK -- he's BETTER!

Would love to see Arianna part of the Obama administration, so keep a cell phone near you at all times :)
