Thank Heavens for this blog post, which makes an exceedingly valuable observation concerning Andrew Sullivan's surprise recommendation that Barack Obama choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate:
I had thought that Mr Sullivan's affinity for Mr Obama was based on the candidate's promise of a break with the Clintonian politics of the past. But Mr Sullivan seems all too willing to sacrifice that principle on the altar of victory. He's happy to have Mrs Clinton engage in "the dirty pugilism of the campaign", as long as it benefits Mr Obama.Mr Sullivan argues that picking Mrs Clinton doesn't necessarily mean Mr Obama is "capitulating to old politics". Rather, it could demonstrate "his capacity to reach out and engage and co-opt his rivals and opponents." Perhaps, but it could also demonstrate his willingness to do almost anything to win. Then the question must be asked, who has co-opted who?
Over to you, Andrew.
