Lee Hamilton for VP

If it has to be a Senator. Ex-Senator Lee Hamilton might be a good choice. Just saw him introduce Obama on a clip during the KO show.

:shrug:

Biggest coverup since the Warren Commission?

Shit, someone might as well nominate Arlen "Magic Bullet" Specter while were at it.

I think MIHOP is b.s. and I will continue to think so until someone coherently and accurately presents a cohesive conspiracy theory that makes good, well-reasoned sense.

But you cannot possibly have paid any attention to the actions of the 9/11 Commission without concluding that it was anything other than a carefully orchestrated whitewash. It's entire raison d'etre was to prevent any real investigation into the event from taking place. Surely you can admit that much?

I don't fault Lee Hamilton for that. They had to come to consensus conclusions and recommendations.

I thought he was a Congressman. :shrug:

The assumption being that you address a Senator as "Senator" thereby distinguishing them from Members of Congress who are Members of the House of Representatives.

"The Congress" can also be colloquially be used to refer just to the House of Representatives, although this is uncommon as it does get confusing.

Yeah, I'm sure his "special skills" will help Obama.

:silly:

regulating the United States Government protecting it through Military Intelligence Computerization Management a new Disipline I invented and the Administration of Criminal Law Laws across the board.

I don't know what the fuck that is, but it sounds like something Obama could use.

:puke:

"Lee Hamilton's choice as the co-chair of the 9/11 Commission is looking more and more like no accident or effort to have a bipartisan panel. Remember too that Hamilton is a long time friend of both former SecDef Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Jerry Meldon writes the following excellent analysis of Hamilton through the Bush ages over at Bob Parry's Consortium News:

"He probably would prefer not to revisit fateful decisions he made while chairing investigations into Republican dirty work, especially those that let George H.W. Bush off the hook and cleared George W. Bush's path to the White House..."

but it seems unlikely that Obama would run the political risk of passing up Bayh for Hamilton. That would raise a lot of eyebrows here and there and everywhere.

Hamilton never went for the U.S. Senate. He was content to be the ever-steady presence in the House from a southern Indiana district (now held by Barron Hill) as others did go to the Senate races and in many cases Hamilton assisted as strategist, observer, analyst, and adviser, etc. to some mighty good Democrats such as Vance Hartke, Joe Hogsett, Birch Bayh, and many more.

In Indiana, Hamilton is seen as a sort of elder, an honored one at that, but not really destined for the flesh-clawing wilderlands of the national political stage.

He might play some role in an Obama Cabinet -- senior advisor? Who knows -- but I think not as the vice presidential nominee.
