Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has named Hillary Clinton the headline speaker for the second night of the Democratic Convention later this month in Denver.
Clinton will speak on Tuesday, August 26 – the 88th anniversary of U.S. women’s right to vote.
This announcement is key for two reasons: 1) the man (or woman) Obama selects as his running mate will speak on the first night of the Democratic Convention. And 2) this shuts the door on any talk of Obama naming Clinton as his running mate.
Yeah, I know, choosing Clinton would sooth the savage beasts within the media — and a lot of blacks are praying that he will pick Clinton, too. But hopefully Obama is not that stupid.
Clinton is a snake in the grass waiting for an opening to strike. By giving Clinton the podium on the second night of the Convention, Obama closes that opening.
