IMVHO, this is something that will turn around a bite someone.
Him, Clinton, and/or the Dems.

I read one of the CNN stories... and I think it's interesting... while he has won a lot of states, Clinton has won the "big states" and the DNC might think she's more electable against a Republican nominee? idk. I kind of feel like he sould at least be nice about it... esp. since he has that "I'm the nice one" thing going for him.

Obama: 'If I am not ready, how is it that you think I should be such a great vice president?'

Answer: Because Clinton thinks she's more ready than you? In all the debates he has said something to the effect of "Yes I believe Senator Clinton is very capable, but I believe I am more capable and ready to be President..." Maybe she thinks the same thing but she thinks she's more ready to handle the Presidency role than he is and that's why she's saying he would make a good VP?

Unfortunately she's saying that McCain has more experience and, implicitly, that even McCain would be a better choice than Obama. She's digging a hole.

I'm not sure how the second place candidate in both delegates and popular vote (down by around 100 delegates depending on who's counting, and about 300,000 votes which doesn't count the caucus states) gets to play "leader." It's insulting to him and I don't think he should play along. He's not attacking her back, but pointing out the doublespeak in her words.
