20. She surely won't pick someone who criticized her husband on the floor of the Senate.

23. You would think. But remember her being all pals with The Newt?
But man, talk about time to jab a rusty fork in your eyes...:puke:

2. My guess is Evan Bayh has already locked up that slot
And he's just about as bad, IMHO.

25. Is this an O'Malley relative's post? I like him too. Not many have heard of him
He is worth a look. Lieberman will be out of the question...Hillary is not stupid. Whoever it is, he or she will have to be the "anti-Cheney."

5. Let's suppose I walk to my mailbox in a few minutes
and discover the hope diamond. Just about as likely.

7. It's about as likely as HRC picking me to be her VP
Not. Gonna. Happen.

Although I'd like to let it be known that, if she offered the VP slot to me, I'd certain accept. :7

8. I think it is more likely that the GOP nominee will ask Holy Joe to join a national unity ticket
to fight GWOT.

10. Hell no...she picks BILL CLINTON as her VP, then she Resigns
Bill selects Al Gore to be VP and we enjoy 8 years of relative sanity.

16. far-fetched
Never happen. Dislike her all you want, but she would never ever go with someone disloyal like Lieberman. I think she will nominate someone outstanding and surprising.

21. Name any amount of money you want
and I will bet you that amount that not only won't she name Lieberman but that no Democrat will name Lieberman to be VP nominee.

22. I don’t think Lieberman would accept…
He's holding out for Gore.

Did you really start this thread for the purpose of having a discussion concerning Hillary/Lieberman? Now be honest with yourself.

Far-fetched? Dreaming up this OP in the first place is far-fetched. But you really didn’t need to be told that.

That's what I think.

26. actually, for a four post member, you sure seem judgemental of me
:shrug:

at any rate, no, I posted because I thought today about her veep possiblities. I posted two threads, this one and another where she should take Kucinish as veep.
That's the whole spectrum of choices, imho.

I was interested in what people would think if she did. Lieberman still insists he's a democrat, and Clinton and he were thick and theives in the DLC.

24. Lieberman is heading on a worse than McCain projectory
in terms of public perception of him - he isn't worse than McCain yet, because he is mostly distrusted by one party (and some independents paying attention) - no viable candidate would pick such a ticking timebomb (per public perception) as a VP candidate.

29. They would have

Zell Miller is still kicking ain't he?
