I wasn't born in Barrington, I was born in New York... We own some homes there, and I lived there for three years only... My father did set up a trust fund for me, however, I had to work very hard to manage it and my schools...

Fly,

You seem to be hung up on how much money you make.....is that how you primarily judge yourself and others?

Of course it is... Social standards predict a person's influence on his/her surroundings... My father taught me this when Im was very young...

Good or bad influences I guess....don't think money makes the person, Fly...that sounds very much like conservative speak. Anyway, some of the very best people I have ever met in my life were not necessarily well off...

Ok, I will give you that...However, it is important for all of us to unite and fight for the better of America in November... I don't McCain is the best choice... I heard his speech last week about Iraq, and it made me very angry... We need to get the hell out of Iraq...

If so then start urging your favorite female candidate to start lobbying and cutting deal for the VP position (Obama's running mate). She would be in a win/win situation. She could be the first woman VP and the president of the Senate, Pelosi would contol the House. She would also be the incumbent for the next presidential run. Hillary would be smart to take this on now and start campaigning for the Democrtic party on behalf fo that ticket; they would have a landslide if the ticket gets put together with these two (Obama-Clinton) but they need to have this happen sooner and not later.

I actually think she is positioning the party & Obama to eventually have no choice but to make that happen. I would not be surprised if she ends up being the VP on the ticket.

Crow, it is not a bad choice. Sitting here talking to my dad while on vacation...he makes a damn good point that she is a hell of a good campaigner when given the right/truthful message. You know, if you get her off the delisional rhetoric of 'seat those FL and MI delegates' and back onto 'Bush/American: my trip to hell in a handbasket' then she will be good. The other guy who would be good is Bill Richardson, I could see Obama going that way too. Richardson would be a terrific choice and be one of the strongest tickets the Democrats have come up with in many years. BR could be the guy to help win votes in the middle also...I dunno, either seem to have good points as a VP running mate.

These are two extraordinary people with complementary talents and networks of supporters. Both have displayed determination, stamina, and guts. Beating John McCain in November is the primary goal of this primary season. An Obama/Clinton ticket would be a guaranteed win.

Upton mentioned Kathleen Sebelius who would also be a very good choice.
