I guess that's as good a way as any to phrase it. I was just thinking
it would tarnish Obama. Whether Hillary were to win or lose the election,
I have a feeling there will be tarnishing. Sort of like when Colin Powell
allowed his otherwise excellent reputation to be forever damaged by
his association with Bush and Company.

If Hillary gets the nom, I'd just as soon see Obama stay in the Senate
until the next election. He is still really young. But, I'm really hoping
it's a moot point and he is the Candidate and I don't think there's a snowballs
chance that Hillary would accept the VP spot. I don't think there's much
chance she'd be offerred it either.
