Castro's tip: Clinton-Obama the winning ticket

Says the Ouija board.

You KNOW this guy is dead. If you're going to make his mouth move, make it say something useful, okay? Like his memoirs.

That said, the English translation of the essay reveals no such endorsement. This is his statement on the subject:

Today, talk is about the seemingly invincible ticket that might be created with Hillary for President and Obama for Vice President. Both of them feel the sacred duty of demanding “a democratic government in Cuba”. They are not making politics: they are playing a game of cards on a Sunday afternoon.

The media declares that this would be essential, unless Gore decides to run.

Could someone read the original and tell me if this is what he said? I think it is, but my college Spanish is rusty.

Hoy se habla de que un ticket al parecer invencible podría crearse con el binomio Hillary presidente y Obama vice. Ambos se sienten en el deber sagrado de exigir "un gobierno democrático en Cuba". No están haciendo política; están jugando a las barajas un domingo por la tarde.

Se afirma por los grandes medios que esto sería imprescindible, excepto si Gore se postula.

Sounds like he says they're dilettantes, not political powers. I guess that might be good for Cuba though. If it's true. It is by no stretch of the imagination an endorsement, however. Nice try, neocons.
