The Cheney Method

OK, it's not exactly what Cheney did--after being asked to find a VP, picking himself--but tonight Hillary Clinton made it sound like she might be poised to pick herself for that same job, by threatening to withhold support from Obama and possibly even make a Credentials Committee challenge if she doesn't get it.

If that actually turns out to be true, then I agree with this statement by Chait, which sounds a little silly at first.

"I'd say that anybody on her staff who cares about their party has a moral obligation to publicly quit and endorse Obama."

Hopefully she just decides to do the right thing in a day or two, and tonight's speech won't matter because only people like me watched it.
