Are we certain The Apocalypse Directive is fiction?
We’ll know by January.

Here’s the danger of the Obama VP selection…Obama must go first. In going first, Obama must make a conventional selection that “Does No Harm.” He must pick someone “Presidential” who lacks all aspirations of being the President unless history calls upon him in Obama’s absence. The VP must also prepare the stage for Hillary and the emergence of Women. Putting a VP in the way will only create more dissent. Picking a VP like Joe Biden is smart and it throws a bone to the Hillary supporters. It gives them hope and a reason to support Obama. It builds a bridge in the Democratic Party that changes but doesn’t forget. The change America wants is integrity and accountability. Half of Democrats think Hillary has integrity because she’s not Bill and she is new. Picking a VP below Hillary’s status is a slap in the face to all Democrats and creates an exploitable gender bias. McCain picks second and he could exploit this weakness. I certainly would. Liz Dole is an excellet selection for Women. Rudy Guilliani is an excellent selection to exploit 9-11 and national security. Biden neutralizes both of these selections. He’s be respectful to Dole and Women while being firm againt Rudy and his “Noun, Verb, and 9-11.” Obama’s first decision is major, but it’s not rocket science. Just win Baby!
