Who Loves Hillary?
So what's left? If Obama's policies line up, and his resume eclipses by orders of magnitude that of his 72 year old rival's co-pilot, what else is there? What else would make a self-proclaimed feminist and lifelong Democrat vote for a heinous misogynist and his barely-there stand-in for...

Obama VP Not Biden or Bayh; Is it Hagel?
