OBAMA: "I don't know how somebody who's in second place...

[polichick]

...is offering the Vice Presidency to the person who's in first place."

While stumping in Miss. today ~ YES!

[pocoloco]

1. LOL

Never hurts to check.

[polichick]

3. THAT'S audacity!

[Zachstar]

2. I am glad he is shutting this bullshit down.

The talk of a VP in Mississippi is designed to cast FUD about the possibility Obama can win the GE and make people think a vote for Clinton is a vote for Obama.

Obama is making things VERY clear and I hope the voters tell Clinton tomorrow that this kind of stuff will not fly.

Here is to the hope that Obama will win by 20 percent tomorrow!

[polichick]

5. I'm glad too - and he did it well!

This is the way to keep pressure on her. Keep pointing out that she's losing. Hillary is only important in her own mind.

7. Methinks Clinton said this out of weakness, not strength. That's always bad.

Gives the impression of pandering, or sucking up to someone.

Does Clinton honestly think that just because of Obama's presence on her ticket, people are going to line up at the polls for HER ???

Let's face it - Obama doesn't need her, she needs Obama.

:kick:

[polichick]

8. The pundits say she and Bill have been playing a psychological game with this...

...conning Miss. voters who like both of them into thinking they don't really have to make a choice.

As Obama calls it: "The ol' okie-doke"

[Cheap_Trick]

9. Clintoon made the "generous" offer

because she knows he's gonna win and would look like an ingrate if he didn't make the same offer quid pro quo.

[Cha]

11. "clintoon" is correcto and as I like

to say.."the fucking clingons".

[Blue-Jay]

18. I've seen that term before....

Guess where I saw it?

[Cheap_Trick]

19. yeah, it's a reeeal stretch to add an extra "o" to the name

Apparently you spend time at the "site that must not be named". I don't. But if I don't support Hillary then I MUST be a freeper, right? Nice try, but no cigar. No pun intended....

[LostinVA]

25. We're allowed to name Free Republic here

[LostinVA]

21. "Clintoon," eh?

Transparent.

[Cha]

10. People at work today were saying

they read on the internet this morning that Obama would be the VP candidate..I said, "no way"..that's just m$$$m shit gossip put out by bil and hil.

[caledesi]

12. You tell 'em bro! nt

[Life Long Dem]

13. He handled this well. He made fun of the whole thing (which is funny)

She's in second place for crying out loud and not a chance to win! :yoiks:

I think she also is letting everyone know - in WY and Miss so far - that she plans on winning this through the popular vote.

If you remember Howard Dean was saying about half the people would be feeling cheated if this pursues to the convention. So Hillary is also telling each state now - to not feel bad - because she will be there for you even though she didn't win this by delegates but by the popular vote.

And on top of this you will have Obama as the VP. So settle down will ya?:hi:

[TheDonkey]

14. He can always thank her for the endorsement

obviously she thinks he is ready to be president.

[DemVet]

15. Easy

The more you say something, the more the general masses will believe it.

Face it, this election is about nothing except marketing. The team with the most former marketing majors wins...period.

[TheZug]

16. If he comes in with the most delegates and votes, and loses the nomination . . .

I will not vote for the nominee.

17. Lol - Keith Olbermann says Hillary's trying to "poach" some of Barack's support.

[MagsDem]

20. He should have said "barely in first place"

Since that is the actual truth. But truth isn't something he is very familiar with, unfortunately.

[AZBlue]

22. GOBAMA!

I like his style - he's pointing out the ridiculousness of the Clinton campaign but not stooping to her level.

[AtomicKitten]

23. Her camp is trying to say they are tied.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

K&R

24. Is comment is lost in translation. Too damn long since the folks

have limited time to view or listen....he would of been better if he said, uh huh let's wait till this is over. or something silly that would have stuck. His lengthy response made him come across as the same old poltics....
