If Obama loses to Clinton, what should he do?

1. Campaign for the democratic nominee and encourage the GOTV.

2. VP

I do not want Obama to be neutered. I will vote for the nominee if its Clinton but an Obama in the Senate speaking truth to power will be one of the forces keeping her in line.

3. Don't think it'll happen, but I put wait a few years

Even if Clinton were to somehow miraculously secure the nomination, Obama would still be young enough to run again in 2016.

4. Quit politics and become an advocate for something like Al Gore. He could...

advocate for economic reinvestment in depressed rural and urban communities devastated by the loss of manufacturing jobs. He could advocate for the poor who seek reconstruction in the footprint of Katrina, or he could advocate for universal health care or reinvestment in decaying American infrastructure.

He could do anything he wanted. Maybe he could advocate for a second New Deal.

5. He is going to be President of The United States.

He will be a very busy man.

6. He could challenge Bill Clinton for THIS job....

In 2001, in the opening months of his ex-presidency, Bill Clinton confided to an aide that he had decided on his dream job for the next chapter of his life: secretary general of the United Nations....

...His ambition, as the aide described it, was both breathtaking and entirely logical for a natural-born politician who had reached the top of the American political ladder: "president of the world."

7. Run in 4 years after McCain's term, and lead a social movement.

8. Buy a Zamboni, because Hell will have officially frozen over.

9. Go back to the Senate to organize a social movement so that

he can run again in a few years. Make a lot of speechs and sell books to help finance it.

I already voted for 'Go back to the Senate', please add my vote to the other totals, also. :-)

10. Get out of Politics...

The people of this country are too easily divided. There is no way our Government will change anything as long as the people are squabbling about shit like "The War on Christmas", and Reverend Wright. How much longer will we be the "United" States? How much more "Socialized Corporate Policies" can we the people afford to pay for? Barack Obama can do anything he sets his mind to...obviously.

11. Join us in the revolution.

:D

12. Other - this poll is moot: Obama is the winner.

14. Social movement

If Obama could great a new progressive social movement it would change this country far more than a president ever good. Civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, labor unions, the anti-war movement, etc. are the ones who shaped this country more than any individual president (except maybe Lincoln).
