How would you react to a Clinton/Obama unity agreement?

[OmahaBlueDog]

Suppose for a moment that, prior to the end of the primaries, Clinton and Obama agreed that which ever one of them was the nominee, the other would be veep. The idea being to keep the campaign from getting too personal, and to allow both candidates to focus some energy against McCain. This scenario could also help to ensure that the convention doesn't turn into a figurative bloodbath.

[Kittycat]

1. No.

I don't trust clinton after her latest puke-like stunts. And if she was VP, I can completely see her constantly undermining the President trying to oust him in some coup.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

6. If you honestly believe all of that there may be a competency hearing in your future

[KittyWampus]

15. at the very least, Clinton will stab Obama in the back should he get the WH.

24. Plus, who would want Bill Clinton..

...roaming around the White House as vice, vice president?

Jesus, you've have to hire a babysitter.

Then he's screw the babysitter and your entire presidency would be in the shitter.

Thanks. But...uh...no thanks.

[dansolo]

29. Figuratively or literally?

If Hillary was Obama's VP, I would honestly fear for his life.

[CoffeeCat]

17. I can't imagine her not using her DLC power and...

...contacts to bully her way into doing things her way. She's a ruthless, tactless
manipulator. I sure as hell wouldn't trust her to be a veep!

After this campaign, she's shown that she's a myopic, self-centered jerk. Those qualities
aren't really what Obama would need in a veep. No. Not really.

Say hello to Hillary Cheney Clinton. No thanks.

[surfin]

36. Don't trust her and not a winning ticket eithe way

Repubs would really attack them as liberal. Need balance. Plus, many of us want no more clinton bushes in the white house. Weed them out. Obama needs to "round up" and destroy the clinton bushes at the white house and through out the goverment.

[peace13]

2. No thank you. n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Dancing in the streets!

:bounce:

[DJ13]

4. No

[jmg257]

5. No. I think Obama would do better with someone else against McCain.

[Happyhippychick]

7. I would like it. I am supporting Obama but would be thrilled to

have her as his VEEP or him as her VEEP if she wins the nomination.

[anigbrowl]

8. My enthusiasm would be lukewarm at best

Sorry, I no longer trust Hillary Clinton. Her going around talking up McCain repeatedly in recent days is unacceptable to me. Even the GOP candidates ran a cleaner race than that.

[Botany]

9. No! 28 years of Clinton or Bush in power is enough

BTW It turns out that Clinton's Texas & Ohio wins
were because of cross over votes and vote manipulation.

Clinton has showed the world what she is all about ...
enough is enough. The math favors Obama.

[ingac70]

10. She doesn't deserve his help to get in offce.

As President or Vice President.

Why would she want to be on a ticket with such an "inexperienced" candidate? She obviously prefers McCain over Obama.

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. McCain's advisors works for Mark Penn

No thanks

[City Lights]

12. Not interested.

:thumbsdown: to Clinton.

If she's so impressed with McCain, let her team up with him.

[Adelante]

13. No

The VP for whichever one of them needs national security experience. No matter what she says, she has no more of that than he has and the VP will have to compensate against McCain.

[DearAbby]

14. No

[Exilednight]

16. NO!

[babylonsister]

18. Nope. nt

[locker13]

19. i

i would have a very negative reaction

[bigdarryl]

20. I don't want Obama near ANY Clinton period!!!

there divisive and he can't gain anything by running with her.

[americanstranger]

21. Sell it somewheres else, Bub.

Let Hillary go run with Gramps if she wants in the White House so bad.

- as

[rinsd]

22. I think its a dumb idea either way.

Neither adds to the other.

In fact they may reinforce each other's potential weaknesses.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

23. Bad idea regardless of who's ultimately wins or loses.

[lapfog_1]

25. Would Hillary accept the VP slot?

I don't think she will. And Obama deserves a VP that he can rely on to back him fully, to be his surrogate both domestically and around the world. Again, I don't believe that Hillary could now, at this point, play that role. Hillary wants to be President, not VP... and if Obama/Clinton win this November, it will be 8 more years before she gets a shot at it. She may feel that she will be too old at that point.

And to ask Obama to be the VP to Hillary makes zero sense... he has the pledged delegate lead and will retain it, he has the lead in the votes, and will likely retain that, he has won more states and won in states where there is a chance that he would win in a GE... he will not lose any of the big blue states that Hillary won in a GE. Hillary will not win any of the big red states where she has won in the primaries.

Why on earth would he accept the role of VP?

[K Gardner]

26. She doesn't deserve an invitation to Obama's Inauguration. Hell no.

[Zachstar]

27. If Obama betrays us by making Clinton a VP I will consider writing in another candidate.

I consider that after us having to fight back against Clinton's bullshit time and time again and her swiftboating of Ohio and her sick comments that gave McCain support in the GE...

Any giving her the VP or accepting to be her VP is a betrayal.


Which is why Obama will NEVER do it!

I HIGHLY doubt Obama will even give a slight thought to such.

It is a bad idea PERIOD!!

The dream ticket is Obama/Edwards. Edwards in my view will be one of the best VP choices we have seen in QUITE some time.

[John Q. Citizen]

28. No. I can't fathom why people are so obsessed with them being on the same ticket.

I think it's the fastest way to lose the White House

[peace13]

30. Anyone suggesting this

is desperately trying to make the continuation of this primary not look like a Democratic disaster. It's like fighting sibling....move along now, the children love each other , no story here.

[MagickMuffin]

31. No Thanks, Hillary has already proven she doesn't want to play nice

It would be a mistake.

[melody]

32. Absolutely positive about it -- we need a nominee n/t

[LisaM]

33. It would be fantastic. I vote yes!

I thought that the minute the two of them walked out for their first one on one debate. It was very moving to see a black man and a woman walk out there together. I teared up (and I had been an Edwards supporter). Even before they started, I told my SO, "they HAVE to run together".

Of course, I have seen every attempt to torpedo Hillary's campaign since then, the name-calling, the demands that she get out, the twisting of her words to claim that she supports McCain despite her repeated statements that she would support Obama, and then the shock! that she got aggressive and fought back, but I still think it would be a formidable ticket. DU and its internal spats don't represent most voters, after all.

[apocalypsehow]

34. No thanks.

n/t.

[Window]

35. NO!

[shraby]

37. After her McCain remarks, no. no. a thousand times

no. Obama is ahead and by all rights can pick his own v.p. Clinton should drop out of the picture and go back to the Senate. He's ahead in p.v., delegates and if the purported 50 super delegates sign on, and it looks like they're starting to, he'll be ahead in super delegates. Why should he even consider Clinton????

[fadedrose]

38. No, hell no (nt)

[goodgd_yall]

39. I'd support it wholeheartedly n/t

[saltpoint]

40. I can see it maybe happening but it's too early yet for it to probably happen.

There's going to be some tense exchanges between 'maybe' and 'probably.'

If it happens at all.

[meow mix]

41. as long as the front runner is on top of the ticket, sounds fine

dont see many other options

[bicentennial_baby]

42. Avec strong velocity vomit, that's how
