Which politician probably regrets his/her early endorsement of Hillary Clinton the most?

[TeamJordan23]

My guess is that it is probably Wesley Clark. Clark would have been serious contender to be VP if he chose to endorse the candidate that opposed the Iraq War as he did.

Who else do you think regrets their endorsement?

[RBInMaine]

1. They all should !

[Ian David]

2. Bill Clinton. n/t

[RazBerryBeret]

3. whoa...

doubt it!
but it made me laugh!!!

[speedoo]

4. Heh.

"giggles"

[GarbagemanLB]

5. LOL

[Raine]

7. LOL

:rofl:

[Yael]

8. Ha!

Excellent choice, sir. :D

[Boz]

10. Actually there are a number of times when bill clinton has spoke about Obama

That you could tell if the situation was different he would have loved to be involved in an Obama campaign, If nothing else to relive some of who and what he brought to the table.

Bills a political animal (I mean that in the sense of a fine aging pro athlete) and he has to identify with the new man from hope with some of his greatest plays of his own past successes, more than he could self identify through the comparisons to Hillarys as she is in her own right a different person and far removed from his style.

Much of this can be seen in Bills early missteps in Hillarys campaign as most of them came when his legacy was compared to Obamas current performance.

Later after that initial chuckle and batting at the "new kid" being compared to the old pro moments there has been a change and realization in many of his comments, he has acknowledged on several occasions that Obama is a heck of a politician and riding quite an interesting wave but for obvious reasons he couldn't say more than that but there was a glint a hint that h e remembered what it was like to be where Obama was and there had to be a lot of self comparison to his own successes and failures and what Obama is likely to experience.

In a different time and place the Old Lion would have liked the new leader of the pack.

18. Great post, I definitely think he would be on board, and may just yet join up when

Hillary relinquishes the race. I would be better than Hillary stumping for him.

[City Lights]

13. Zing!

:rofl:

[Ian David]

21. I feel his pain. n/t

[speedoo]

6. Wesley Clark is a very good guess.

I was very disappointed in him for that.

[AllentownJake]

9. To be honest...

I don't think we need or should take Senator Clinton as a VP but I think it would be good if we took a high profile Clinton Supporter to help unite the party. Wesley would fit that bill.

[Mags]

11. I don't think Barry will have to worry about the VP position, unless he

is willing to accept the position. You folks are way ahead of the game and are going to be soooooooo, heart broken. Just a warning.

[AllentownJake]

12. :-)

Get your Obama Yard sign ready for November

[Auntie Bush]

35. I'm putting mine in our spring yard sale!

[StevieM]

15. I doubt she would want to be VP, but the arrogance of Obama is astounding

He thinks he's got her voters locked up. Well he doesn't even have mine locked up.

Steve

[AllentownJake]

20. Calm down

Nobody thinks your vote is locked up. Hence my post.

[Sinistrous]

14. Can you imagine two extraordinary speakers like Obama and Wes Clark

teaming up on poor John McCain? That would be two men with razor sharp intellects against pitiful oatmeal-brained McCain.

The thought of that massacre gives me chills.

Sinistrous

[stop the bleeding]

19. I have often fantasized of the Obama Clark ticket

Some for the reasons you touched upon, also for

1)It would negate/destroy McLame's war/national security stance.

2)It would help bring all of the HRC supporters back into the fold.

16. Sheila Lee Jackson, she's going to lose her seat because of it.

[McCamy Taylor]

23. Why is she going to lose her seat?

[BklynChick]

17. Charlie Rangel

[AZBlue]

22. Barbara Boxer

[TTUBatfan2008]

24. Sheila Jackson Lee.

District went 90% for Obama.

[McCamy Taylor]

25. Has some threat been made against Lee?

[rufus dog]

26. Her constituents strongly questioned why she is supporting Hillary

Good for them!

[TTUBatfan2008]

43. Only the threat of not getting re-elected...

[Zhade]

27. Any honest one.

NT!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

28. stick your assine guesses up.......

[thevoiceofreason]

29. What did Ignore say?

[TexasObserver]

34. Who knows?!

Does it matter?

[JBoy]

40. Did you mean to say "asinine"?

:spray:

[TexasObserver]

30. Sheila Jackson Lee. She was booed mercilessly by her constitutents last week.

At the Senatorial District convention, and deservedly so.

[StevieM]

33. Yeah, how dare she have an opinion that some people don't like! (eom)

[thevoiceofreason]

36. Steve, you are right -

Like Sheila said - I know what's best for you even if you don't.

[StevieM]

38. And I'm sure you are equally outraged by Kennedy and Kerry supporting Obama over the objections

of their state, which voted for Hillary.

Steve

[thevoiceofreason]

39. You remind me of Woody Allen

All men are mortal
Socrates was a man
Therefore, all men are Socrates

You don't make sense.

Kennedy and Kerry don't stand in front of thousands of their angry constituents, live, and tell them, in effect, that they don't know what the hell they are talking about.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

45. How dare they exercise their right to vote in a way you don't like. nt

[Ron Green]

31. I think Governor Ted Kulongoski of Oregon

probably sees how far away are his state's Democrats from his endorsement.

[leftstreet]

46. Agree. He's like the only western Dem Gov to endorse her

Although he's already waffling...

--------------
On the same day Obama traveled to Portland, Salem and Eugene last Friday, Kulongoski delivered his state-of-the-state address to the City Club of Portland and took questions from audience members. One asked the governor if he planned "follow the will" of voters and throw his support as a superdelegate to the winner of the Oregon primary -- even if it is Obama.

Kulongoski indicated he would consider doing that if the election produced a lopsided vote. But he added, "I have come out for Sen. Clinton. I went to Iowa to campaign for her and I'm going to Pennsylvania."

32. My man, Wes Clark. He blew it.

[davsand]

37. Before I even read the OP I thought of Clark.

I was sorry to see he had endorsed Hil. I was also kind of relieved he didn't opt to run this time himself, because I would have then had to choose between Clark and Obama. I know a few other Clarkies who were in that same boat, FWIW.

I'd LOVE to see Clark as a VP choice for either candidate

[Sparkly]

41. I don't know if Clark regrets his endorsement, but *I* regret his endorsement!!

Mostly because I just wanted him to keep all of his own options open.

I'm not sure who else might regret it -- but I assume that if Obama gets the nom, they'll all be on the same side.

[Bongo Prophet]

48. Wes is loyal to the clinton's, yes, but he has not burned any bridges, in my opinion.

IF Obama does get the nomination, i think there should be a place in the cabinet for Gen. Clark. I hope so.
Same with RFK Jr.
There should be some serious healing going on, and a merging of like-minded dems can make a stronger case for that.

Here's hoping!

[elizm]

42. RFK, Jr.

Just a guess.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

44. Has anyone seen Sheldon Whitehouse with Hillary since the Celestial Choir Rally in R.I. ?

He was there in the background smiling during that act.

Where's Sheldon?

[mod mom]

47. Bobby Kennedy Jr.

[kwenu]

49. Anyone who made a public endorsement.
