I DON'T WANT HILLARY CLINTON ANYWHERE NEAR AN OBAMA TICKET

[THUNDER HANDS]

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?

[aquart]

1. Why, I completely agree with you.

I don't want him anywhere near her ticket, either.

[THUNDER HANDS]

4. i agree

I don't want them near eachother whoever gets the nomination.

[MADem]

2. Well, who cares what you think?

:rofl:

[Unsane]

3. I agree that Hillary needs Obama more than the other way around, but

I wouldn't be averse to a Obama-Clinton ticket.

[ursi]

26. totally agree!

[rodeodance]

5. star power??--more like GLITTER

But Obama doesn't need her. He's got enough charisma and star power to gain the presidency without her.

[joshcryer]

6. I think we got our answer about how long the love lasted.

[Lucinda]

16. I thought it was going to end when the pundits called the debate for one or the other

Looks like i was incorrect :)

[joshcryer]

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

[sjdnb]

7. Charisma and Star Power ... isn't that what brought us GWB?

Ah, yeah, it was.

[Beausoir]

Yep. Star-power is the new "Who would you have a beer with?" litmus test.

Been there.

[flyarm]

8. i don't want either one of them near my white house! eom

[Beausoir]

9. Because.."star power" is what we should be looking for in a President.

[Joe the Revelator]

I agree, they both are two big to have one hold the second chair

It just wouldn't work.

[GoldieAZ49]

10. I am

she does have too much baggage

[princehal]

11. You Hillary haters

Are hurting Obamba.

[ErnestoG]

12. She's political poison.

[goldcanyonaz]

13. Always on the divide on conquer rhetoric. It's really boorish on a night like this.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Who cares what a rat thinks? nt

[Blue-Jay]

18. Who cares what a cat thinks?

nt = not thinking

[951-Riverside]

21. A rat?

[earthside]

15. Don't worry.

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.

[cboy4]

17. I'm with everyone who wants tyou to quit shouting with

your CAPS!!! :eyes:

[Samantha]

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.

[Perky]

22. You da man rat....

[JohnnyLib2]

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.

[MeDeMax]

24. I don't see any downside to a Obama - Clinton ticket...n/t

She'll still draw the female vote away from McCain.

[democrat2thecore]

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.

[Hoof Hearted]

27. LOUD NOISES!

[blm]

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.html

Why do people THINK we got stuck with Bush2 in the first place?

[stillcool]

29. After the way she's run this campaign?

no way.

[DainBramaged]

30. Not I sir. Sorry to disappoint you.

May the best candidate win at the convention. Period.

[intheozone]

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!

:spank:

[Beregond2]

32. Ticket

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

[BenDavid]

33. don't worry you won't. only ticket obama will have is a ticket to

the inauguration of Hillary Rodham Clinton as 44th President of the United States

[milkyway]

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.

[Bluebear]

35. "Star power". Just what we need in a President.

:silly:
