I DON'T WANT HILLARY CLINTON ANYWHERE NEAR AN OBAMA TICKET |
|
She can be a Health and Human Services Secretary in an Obama administration, if she wants. But that's it.
Or she can continue to be an excellent senator.
But Obama doesn't need her. He's got enough charisma and star power to gain the presidency without her.
Who's with me?

3. I agree that Hillary needs Obama more than the other way around, but |
|
I wouldn't be averse to a Obama-Clinton ticket.

Hillary bashing began less than 15 minutes after the debates were over. Amazing. |

The last thing Obama needs is Bill Clinton running around undercutting him by flogging Hill's veep candidacy.
And, Obama doesn't need to get tainted with Clinton(s) scandal, so he won't accept a veep candidacy with a sure loser.

19. He would constantly have to watch his back if he teamed up with her |
|
and that would not leave him much time to act Presidential (or Vice-Presidential, whichever you prefer).
She would constantly be influenced by Bill, and that would diminish the influence Barack would have. I think they both know this.

20. The VP question is meant to damage him--that's why Wolfie asked it, because |
|
realistically it can only go one way--no way would Hillary be his VP. It's meant to cast her as the President and him as VP. I cringed.

23. Dammit, if you trust his or her judgment-- |
|
why wouldn't you back their personal decisions on this point? Political history is full of pairings which once seemed unlikely, and these two both will have critical choices to make once the nomination is in.

24. I don't see any downside to a Obama - Clinton ticket...n/t |
|
She'll still draw the female vote away from McCain.

25. It blows his whole theme |
|
They'll say, "You talk about change, but you have a running mate who was married to a former president for eight years?"
There are better running mates for Obama than the scandal-plagued and polarizing HRC.

28. I don't want her NEAR any National Security records or WH documents. |
|
I don't appreciate the way the Clintons 'cleaned up' after the Bushes throughout the 90s. http://consortiumnews.com/2006/111106.htmlWhy do people THINK we got stuck with Bush2 in the first place?

31. Do you really think being a good, effective president only |
|
requires charisma and star power???? Are you really that naive??? He better have a lot more qualities than that just to survive the general campaign and election, not to mention actually performing the job of president!

Absolutely. For him to get too close to Hillary would undo everything he has stood for so far.

34. I don't see how it could work--the veteran taking the second spot to the upstart? |
|
And even if Hillary acted as honorably as possible, the media would have a field day with neverending talk about how she's just waiting for the right moment to stab him in the back. Can't see it working in this environment.
There's a better chance with Clinton/Obama, but with both Hillary and Bill there might not be much room for Obama. He might be better off declining and wait for 2012 (if her presidency is not going well) or 2016.
