More backstory.....

This is not a surprise:

From Newsweek (got to get that issue!)

"The Obama campaign was provided with reports from the Secret Service showing a sharp and very disturbing increase in threats to Obama in September and early October, at the same time that the crowds at Palin rallies became more frenzied. Michelle Obama was shaken by the vituperative crowds and the hot rhetoric from the GOP candidates. "Why would they try to make people hate us?" Michelle Obama said to a top campaign aide."

Gosh, Michelle - love ya, but you are naive sweetie.... The GOP tactics are evil and "Rovian".

"Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request."

"Obama was never inclined to choose Sen. Hillary Clinton as his running mate, not so much because she had been his sometime bitter rival on the campaign trail, but because of her husband."

"McCain, on the other hand, was relieved to face Biden as the veep choice, and not Hillary Clinton, whom the McCain camp had truly feared."
