United States 2.0
During the debate my friend Lance Knobel wrote a post wondering if perhaps Hillary Clinton was conceding the nomination to Barack Obama.
By the end of the debate, I too thought that’s what had happened.
Maybe we can see our way to something wonderful, instead of a continued struggle. She gets to be a major figure in the US Senate supporting a Democratic President. Not bad. Maybe she’s the new Majority Leader.
Maybe the goal isn’t just to win the White House but to get a strong majority in both houses.
A woman Speaker and a woman Majority Leader.
And a black President. What a way to roll out USA 2.0.
PS: I’d like to see Obama pick Senator Jim Webb of Virginia for vice-president.
PPS: Webb gave the Democratic response to the 2007 State of the Union.
