Add Rudy Giuliani to the latest list of people predicting a Clinton-Obama DFL ticket for the 2008 election.

This pairing does make sense given the anti-white male mentality of liberals, which comprise the most vocal component of the Democratic constituency. However, what possible benefit would it have for the DFL’s chances of winning in 2008? The Democratic Party already has a solid lock on the black vote, regularly capturing 85% - 90%. So there isn’t any benefit there.

There’s always the “rock star” aspect of Barack Obama that could be beneficial to Hillary Clinton among unthinking, star struck voters. Obama has a bigger following with Hollywood phonies than Hillary does and they love to stump for their causes.

But if we look at this logically, we find that Barack Obama is cleaner than Hillary Clinton. He doesn’t have the legacy of scandals and failures that Hillary has. He doesn’t have the phony marriage and constantly cheating spouse to drag him down. He didn’t vote for the Iraq War because he wasn’t around to, so he doesn’t need to lie and pretend he was mislead or claim to have voted for something entirely different.

And Obama is much more intelligent than Hillary Clinton, too, which really isn’t saying much. He’s a good orator, even if what he says is nothing but superficial fluff and unrealistic, unattainable promises.

If anyone should be the running mate in this pairing, it is Hillary.

But is it possible that some white male Democrats could feel excluded by such a ticket? Will Muslims and other male-centric cultures vote for a female president? Only time will tell.
