I think even if Hillary Clinton wins the Demacratic nomonation for the 08 presidential election. I doubt she will pick Barack Obama for her running mate for VP. I just doubt that will happen. In the history of the United States they only had 2 black governors & 5 black senetors after construction. African Americans make up 25% the 300million & i think that's bad to only have 5 black senetors & 2 black governors.

Yeah, that's bad and everything but you can't expect people to decide that one day they'll just start electing black people for no reason other than race.

Besides, constituencies are usually racially segregated with high concentrations of african americans in certain areas. For example, Montana may never see a black governor or senator - so its kind of silly to expect that. You might see states with high concentrations of african americans to have an african american senator or governor - but there are none. Which is why you tend to see more african american mayors and congressmen. Because their constituencies are primarily african american. Its simply ridiculous to start slinging around accusations of racism because constituents elect people their more familiar with. That's kinda like expecting Bahamians to elect a non-Bahamian as Prime Minister.

Well i just speaking to the fact that in the history of the United States only 2 black governors & 5 senetors, i just could'nt belive that when my friend told me that yesturday. He also said that it's better not for obama to win & become president because they will kill him.

I think an Obama Clinton ticket would be immense. But i dont think Obama will choose Hillary or vice versa. I dont think it has anything to do with race.

Both of them are progressive.

thats a real possibility. the same holds almost as true for Hillary.
The safest presidents are the republicans because most of the crazies voted for them.

Yea i doubt you'll see Mr Obama as vp next to Hillary.

Both of them are progressive. So what's your reason for saying Mr Obama will not choose Hillary?
