Obama needs to appoint Hillary as his running mate so the 60 percent women and 25 percent blacks can elect him. The redneck, the reactionary religionists, and superorthodox vote can thus be sidestepped.

If McCain fails to do something dramatic soon his campaign will be relegated to the oblivion of history along with Dole and Kerry.

I hope there will be McCain and Obama direct debates, responding to some city hall forums. They need to share their plans about the economy, sustainability,undoing secret governance, lowering carbon footprints, phasing out our occupation of Iraq, and raising vocational and educational standards for our children.

And of course they need to address the need for fuel efficient cars, and universal health care.
