If Hillary wins she is going to offer Obama the VP spot, the only question is whether he accepts it

[Herman Munster]

And the offer will be made public to let the black community know the olive branch was extended. Whether that is the ticket will be up to Barack but I am 100% sure the offer will be extended just for the politics of it all to the black community that their guy wasn't snubbed by Clinton.

[joshcryer]

1. Agreed 100%.

[aquart]

2. No. She is not.

[billbuckhead]

3. Harold Ford would be a much better choice

Much more electable. Make it about rewarding black voters and not personalities.

[maximusveritas]

6. Yay, DLC/DLC 2008. I can't wait

...to throw up.

[Tatiana]

18. Harold Ford? Are you serious (I ask this in all honesty)?

He couldn't even win a Senate seat (which was his for the taking) in his own state!

[billbuckhead]

21. Ford wasn't running in a blue state against Alan Keyes

[lapfog_1]

4. I think he will consider whether or not

Clinton beats McCain... and turn it down.

Then he runs for President in 2012. And wins.

[IndianaJones]

5. god, I hope not. nt.

[MadBadger]

7. Nice showing tonight, lol.

[IndianaJones]

8. I said I could take the pain. nt.

9. This was Gloria Borger's analysis of the situation.

I think he will decline for two reasons. One, if what many say is true and Hillary galvanizes the base of the repubs and the independants don't sway democrat, she could lose. Then in four years, he has another shot at the presidency.

Secondly, why would he want to be vp with Bill Clinton in the whitehouse. Its not a position that will have much clout and if he runs after 8 years, which is what he would have to wait, he will have that talking point to the used against him. "you were marginalized by bill clinton and weren't the real vp".

he will decline.

[ruggerson]

22. It's far better to run for the WH as a Veep than as a Senator

historically speaking

[Clintonite]

10. If he turns it down, we will finally know if he his stupid!

[JVS]

11. I hope he snubs her if that happens

:evilgrin:

[Kermit77]

12. She doesn't want Obama for VP. she wants Clark as VP

If she is nominated, she won't offer it to Obama. She wants a white male military guy that she and Bill can control. That man is Wesley Clark.

[doc03]

13. I doubt if she will n/t

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

14. He should build his own legacy in the Senate if Clinton wins nomination

Why would anyone want to remove a SITTING Senator to be VP?

Obama has a BIG career ahead of him no matter how this turns out. He should Do it on his own terms.

[Whisp]

15. she will pick Lieberman. nt

[mopinko]

16. you people are crazy.

:crazy:

[outtosea]

17. Here's the headline is Obama comes in second next Tuesday...

OBAMA INSPIRES NATION WITH AMAZING, SURPRISE SECOND PLACE
VICTORY!

Clinton comes in disappointing first... Bill expected to be
fired from campaign... Concession speech may be forthcoming...

[Hoof Hearted]

19. I SO HOPE you are right and I hope he says yes, or visa-versa!

I'm totally on board with either one of them at the top of the ticket!

Yay Democrats!

[sfam]

20. Obama's a great choice for her. I doubt he accepts

He is still young, and will have more chances if he so desires.

The problem with accepting is this throws out the central theme of his appeal - that he is going for a new dialogue in washington - a new way of doing business. I don't see how he tosses all that out.
