A Christian Liberal is NOT an oxymoron.

Well, not exactly. Barack Obama has finally wrapped up the Democratic nomination, but Hillary Clinton refuses to give up the lime-light. Clinton says she is ready to serve as the VP, but her own super-delegate pick-up of the day (you gotta wonder what’s going on in his mind) is on the record:

Updated | 3:03 p.m.: Score one for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Mrs. Clinton just picked up her first superdelegate of the day, with the endorsement of Jon Ausman, a Florida member of the Democratic National Committee.

Mr. Ausman told The Palm Beach Post that he was leaning toward supporting Mr. Obama until Mrs. Clinton called him this morning and asked for his endorsement.

“She has hundreds of thousands of supporters he needs and we need to work together,” Mr. Ausman said.

According to Mr. Ausman, Mrs. Clinton said she’d “think about” accepting the vice-presidential spot on the Democratic ticket.

But in April, as an uncommitted superdelegate, Mr. Ausman sounded grim about the prospect of a joint Obama-Clinton ticket.

“There’s not a chance,” Mr. Ausman told The Times in an interview. “This has turned into a battle of egos, and strong personal animosity has slipped into this.”

I hope he’s right. I am very happy to be wrong that Barack Obama would be unable to win the nomination, but I stand by my many statements that Hillary Clinton is a poison pill for Democrats - she can win, but she kills everyone around her. If she wants a bone, send her to the UN. Then she can room with Bill in Harlem - if, you know, they are still doing that.
