(Danville, California)
Today in Washington, DC, Hillary Clinton gives her concession speech and endorses Barack Obama for President. The two met privately at Senator Dianne Feinstein's home Thursday night to discuss lots of issues. (Oh, to have been a fly on the wall!). In any case, in honor of the David Letterman tradition, here is a my "Top Ten List" on why Obama should pick Hillary as his running mate and why she should accept:10) Young voters (and they matter now) never heard of Sam Nunn or Bob Kerrey.
9) The VP still gets a cool, free house! (The residence at the Naval Observatory).
8) Obama can't win West Virginia without her.7) Bill Clinton becomes like a "crazy" in-law! (OK, that's mostly a bonus for the people who write the headlines!)
6) Being VP is the best spot to steer health care reform legislation.
5) One in three past presidents first served in the vice presidency, making it the best "launching pad" for the big job.
4) The VP gets to cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate (and there could be many).
3) Obama and Clinton both will get to keep their Senate seats if they lose in November.
2) Obama can't win Pennsylvania without her.
1) Democrats in Florida and Michigan may actually show up on election day!
I'll be keeping an eye on today's developments and the possible search for a VP. Check back often at www.MarkCurtisMedia.blogspot.com.Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.
