Obama supporters: If Hillary says I'll quit tomorrow in exchange for VP, what say you?

[BeyondGeography]

[LakeSamish706]

1. Ain't no way in hell I would want to see her as Barack's VP... n/t

[silverweb]

3. Exactly.

I fear she'd undermine him every chance she got.

[Cha]

32. Yeah, choice # 2 was

Righteous!

[Yael]

2. Oh hells no

She would be an anchor to that ticket.

[ossman]

4. He better get a food taster if she is the VP.

[MonkeyFunk]

52. ah

another assertion that the Clintons are murderers.

Remind me how this place differs from FreeRepublic?

[maximusveritas]

5. She wouldn't say that

she's got way too much ambition.

If she did, I think Obama should accept it since she'll probably start whining and causing more trouble throughout the election if he doesn't put her on the ticket. So the negatives of having her on the ticket would be outweighed by the negatives she could bring outside the ticket.

[Maddy McCall]

6. LOL. There goes the Obama supporters' "We need to unite for the good of the party" argument.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

[BeyondGeography]

8. I'm proud of them so far

[ossman]

10. Hillbots throw shit then expect.... what?

[Drachasor]

14. I care a little bit more about uniting the country, and with Hillary on the ticket that won't happen

Hillary and Bill Clinton bring way too much baggage. It would undermine Obama's presidency.

Also Obama can still unite the party without Hillary, judging by the latest poll.

And let me be clear, when I say "unite the country" I mean getting a powerful majority behind Obama. 60% or more ideally, which isn't possible with Hillary there.

[bellasgrams]

30. How could anyone damage BO's presidency, he's doing a

remarkable job all by himself.

[Drachasor]

31. The latest poll disagrees with you. Obama is steady, while Hillary's negatives up, positives down

She's a hindrance, with approvals akin to Bush.

[bellasgrams]

49. Don't worry, there are more ups and downs to come, but

you're right about 1 thing the muck slides off BO faster than Hill because the media is afraid to criticize BO

[Johnny__Motown]

17. we don't need to pay off her blackmail for the good of the party

[scheming daemons]

38. Yeah... strapping a 37% approval rating VP around Obama's neck is a winning strategy.....

...

[cherokeeprogressive]

40. What Bullshit.

I agree that we do need to unite. WE need to unite. Whether Clinton and Obama unite is totally meaningless. So, she's in a position to BARGAIN? I think not.

Uniting as a party and country WITHOUT a Clinton in the mix is what we need, almost as badly as we need to see the * family marched en masse to the deepest darkest pit we can find.

[Kittycat]

7. Why would he want someone that would lie about war-like attacks

when our country is at war?

[sfam]

9. In a heartbeat. STOP the bloodletting.

Yes, Hillary is seriously flawed, but she has a large following. More importantly, the nomination won't be worth much if we have another 2 months of this crap. The Supes have already made it clear that they're as spineless here as they are in the congress. So yeah, put her on the ticket tomorrow.

[Pisces]

11. No fucking way. I would never trust her to be 1 heartbeat away from the Power

[msallied]

12. That's what I call bribery.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

39. not bribery, closer to blackmail i think as she is the one wanting it for dropping out

[Neshanic]

13. Well, there you have it.

[dailykoff]

15. I think Richardson beat her to it.

But I think McCain might have room for her.

[LakeSamish706]

20. Good one, and judging by some of the antics thats where she should be. n/t

[Abacus]

16. Two weeks ago, I'd have gone for it.

Too late now.

Edited to add: I've never been in favor of the "dream ticket", but was willing to accept it as a compromise.

[CitizenLeft]

18. I think Bill Clinton lurking over her shoulder...

...makes that very unlikely.

[Johnny__Motown]

19. She is poison,,, her negatives are even higher now. forget it, and forget senate leadership too

[pbca]

25. She may even be able to write off her Senate Seat

whoever her opponent is next time around (GE or Primary) will have lots of ammo. She's done.

[Crunchy Frog]

21. Hillary would be a terrible liability for Obama.

She would bring absolutely nothing to the ticket except her divisiveness and her high negatives. If Obama wants to pick a running mate to heal the rift between the two camps, he should go with Wes Clark.

[LakeSamish706]

22. I think Bill Richardson would fit the bill nicely as well. n/t

[grannylib]

23. I think he needs someone who can help with the southern white males

and the older low-income women; aren't those the demographics he's having the most trouble with??
I know he's a Hillary supporter, but I wonder about Wes Clark sometimes...maybe I'm nuts

[ecstatic]

24. I don't trust her, and neither should Obama

She would undermine Obama at every turn, because she cannot afford to wait until 2016 to serve as President...and if that doesn't work... well... Obama would need to limit his travels and dinners.

I guarantee she'd be acting in the role of President either on or before 2012 if Obama is foolish enough to name her VP.

[meow mix]

26. no vp. the clintons are abusers of thier own party.

blah.

[donheld]

27. There was a time when I would have loved the idea

that time is gone. Hillary spoiled all chances of that job IMHO.

[babylonsister]

28. Nope. It's too ugly now. nt

[emilyg]

29. She won't.

[Azathoth]

33. Just what we need...a VP candidate with a 36% approval rating

Ain't gonna happen Hil.

[Ikonoklast]

34. No. Hillary has shown her true self to be willing to do or say

Anything to advance her personal agenda at the expense of Democratic ideals.

She would undercut policy at every turn if it worked to her advantage.

Glad I saw this side of her now, before it was too late.

[countmyvote4real]

35. The Clintons have jumped the shark.

Rather than play their former roles (and in hindsight, dubious triumphs) in the Democratic Party to support the change the country clearly needs and desires, the Clintons have chosen a “me first/divide and conquer” approach to their campaign at a time when the math and polls overwhelmingly project they are not the change most people seem to want now.

It’s like watching Nader destroy his legacy by becoming a perpetual spoiler. I am sorry that the Clintons are so desperate to rule again, only this time in the wake of the * unitary executive (dictator). The longer they drag this on, the smellier they rot their future role in Democratic politics. Frankly, I would not be surprised to see her join the McCain campaign if she doesn’t secure her nomination from the Democratic Party. There is now no way for her to concede any credible support to the presumptive and mathematical nominee from the Democrats because it is not going to be her. No matter how much she feels called, destined or entitled, the Clinton campaign has shown us that they are their primary interest. Obviously, other campaign donors will get appropriate representation.

FTR, Neither Clinton or Obama were my first choices. Why should we leave an open seat from a sitting Democratic Senator? Oh wait again, her voting record is not so good. Iraq. Flag burning. Invade Iran. Just to suggest a few missteps. Day one at 3am, my ass.

Let’s step back a bit. I am a Democrat that volunteered for her FIRST NY campaign. Even then, the polarization was apparent. And now, I even despise and loathe them. How can they not get that? Maybe they do and they don’t care what I think.

I will never vote for McCain, but Bloomberg is looking like a better choice if the Clintons manage to steel this nomination from the pledged delegates. I can only hope that it is an option.

[scheming daemons]

36. Why on earth would Obama want a VP candidate with soaring negatives and a 37% approval?

Sheesh.... what's the point of a "unity" ticket if it is the equivalent of hanging an anchor around his neck?


Nope.... Good riddance, Hillary.

[boppers]

37. VP of *what*, exactly?

Obama's VP of the local chapter of "New York City Women for Obama"?

Sounds great, perfect position for her.

[question everything]

41. Other: her candidacy, her decision. I will support whatever she decides (nt)

[saltpoint]

42. Best to let the voters in remainng states have their say. If Obama is our

nominee -- and I believe he will be -- I'd rather see him run with someone who will either not repel independents the way HClinton will repel them to protect down-ballot races or, in the stronger case, someone who will attract more votes from McCain in battleground states like Missouri and Ohio.

[Bolo Boffin]

43. I want a purple and pink pony! n/t

[DeeDeeNY]

44. I will vote for whoever gets the nomination as a Democratic candidate, BUT

I would not want Hillary on a ticket as VP to Obama.

[Warren Stupidity]

45. VP slot, regardless of Cheney, is generally unimportant.

[davidpdx]

46. Nope

[saltpoint]

47. If Democrats win the White House, the veep presides over the Senate.

Social reform will depend on the Senate's passing key legislation. I think it would be better to have someone who can engineer consensus in that chamber to increase the likelihood of that reform.

I'm not seeing Hillary Clinton as that person.

[Vinca]

48. I'm so sick of this I'm inclined toward "ok," but I'm afraid she and

Bill would bully their way into the presidency somehow even if Obama is sworn in. Not to mention you don't necessarily want the one who's been sticking the knife in your back in the line of succession.

[Megahurtz]

50. Just SAY NO to Hillary as VP!

Oh God no. Are you kidding? She would still try to run things her way, she would still try to act as the President. Oh God no. No way. Pick your own VP. Just say no to Hillary!

[Jed Dilligan]

51. That would be a weasely-assed thing to do

which fits her profile, but I don't think she will ever lose the delusion that she will eventually be given the nomination.

[Flabbergasted]

53. No....

excuse the tin foil but I'd be truly worried about Obama's "health".
