But Barack Obama has claimed the Democratic nomination, and behind the scenes the deal is going down, hopefully before the evening network newscasts.

Please, Baracko, please don’t give the lovely lady the vice-presidential slot on your ticket.

Please, Obama WHamma. Don’t go there.

How’s about….Bill Richardson of New Mexico?

The dude speaks fluent Spanish!

Gratias, amigo.

Peter Freyne, 1949-2009, wrote the weekly political column "Inside Track," which originated in the Vanguard Press in the mid 1980s; he brought it to Seven Days in 1995. He retired it shortly before his death in January, 2009. We all miss him.
