8. If they could get elected, I wouldn't have a problem with the pairing
However, I just don't see that happening, so I don't want her to be the VP

9. I have to admit ...
... that at this point, yes, I would be pissed.

Hillary has proven herself to be a liability now, not an asset.

10. Yes
Besides having Bill hanging around like a bad smell, I would worry for Obama's safety with her that close to being the President.

11. Hillary has done everything possible to attack Obama and drag down the party.
She does not deserve to be on the ticket in any capacity.

Even if Hillary Clinton had not run the pathetic campaign that she has, I wouldn't recommend her as a running mate, simply because she is a Senator. We have a Senator as a nominee, and so do the 'Pukes, which goes against history in and of itself, for any Senator to win the White House. It's very rare. Two senators on the ticket - ANY two senators - is simply inviting trouble we don't need. Doesn't matter if it's someone as DLC as Hillary, or as Liberal as Russ Feingold.

You can bet Grandpa McLoony won't be running with a Senator. Let's not give him an advantage before the "official" GE race even begins.

13. I would not be pissed but I would be worried, picking an annoying person as a running mate is not
good. Why Gore picked lieberman the scrotum face I have no idea.

23. Gore didn't pick Holy Joe. The DLC forced his pompous ass on the ticket.
It was their idea of "balance". :eyes:

20. I think Hillary's ego and ambition are too big for her to be #2, again.
After all, she had to take a backseat to Bill. Besides, she as gone way too far in trashing Obama to have any credibility as his running mate.

21. Some polls claim McCain would trounce Obama, I believe Obama will seriously bring tears to McCain if
Obama can beat TWO Clintons? McCain will be nothing more then a political exercise...

22. No DLC appeaser should hold office in this country at all.
More Americans need to wake up about the differences within the party itself, and vote all of the right-wing elements out.

26. At this point, yes.
Before the race baiting in SC, lawsuit in Nevada, declarations of "victory" in Michigan and Florida, praise of McCain over Obama, 3am ads, lying about sniper fire and laughing about conflicting interests regarding free trade...I would've loved her as Obama's VP.

28. Isn't it a hoot that Bill ended up doing whatever he decided to do to..."help Hillary"...?
Obama should feel pretty good that he is more or less putttng the Clintons in the place they need to be...out of the race!

31. I would prefer almost ANYONE else.
But if he was ok with it, I'd be ok with it.

It's about making him President. I don't give a fuck about her. Frankly I don't think she could stand HIM being her boss. That may be the problem here. That and dammit, Bill really wanted to be the First Laddie!

38. Naah. It would be fun to watch the reactions on left and right.

A related question is, if one trusts Obama to be president--why not trust his selection of a VP? :evilgrin:

39. I won't vote for Hillary Clinton. If she is a VP for another candidate...
...I won't vote for that candidate, and that includes Obama.

Fortunately, I can't see Obama letting the Clintons within 100 yards of the White House.

40. VP
I would tolerate her If Obama picked her however at this point I think a unity ticket with Chuck Higel Is more likely.If he wants to reach out to her supporters then pick Wesley Clark.While he Is a huge supporter of Hillary at least you know when Obama Is the nominee he could trust him.Obama needs a VP who will attack Mccain.Obama needs his own Al Gore not his own Joe Lieberman.And I mean
Lieberman in his not going after Bush and aggreing with Cheney.Hillary will never join the Republican party as he Is now basiclly.But she would not go after Mccain,and be weak In the debate.

41. P.O.'d? Yes. Mainly because I think she stands against so many things
for which Obama has worked: honesty, integrity, multi-party unification, a rejection of special-interest groups and Washington cronyism, etc.

I'd get over it ... but I wouldn't be happy about it.
