If Hillary picked Clark for VP
I'd feel a lot better voting for her, should she win the nomination.

1. How can she win the nomination?
Without tearing apart the party?

37. Well, I don't love it...
But I sure as hell believe it to be true.

And so do most SuperD's --- that's why, IMO, you will see them end this thing no later then the last primary in June, but probably before.

Obama will be our nominee as a result.

As an aside, I think Wes would be an excellent choice for a VP candidate! The fact that he is a Hillary supporter makes the Obama/Clark ticket even stronger.

We need to unify as a party and Clark would be a good choice to move us in that direction.

29. When he paraded round with Kerry were you just as disgusted?
I love Wes...and that's one of many reasons for supporting Hillary. He knows who's best for this country and I still trust his judgment!

35. Kerry's not a proven liar with evidence backing up that fact. clinton is.
World of difference.

7. She can't win.
Too many people will stay home. Even with Clark on the ticket.

15. He can't either.
Too many people will stay home. Even with Oprah on the ticket. :rofl:

She can carry each and every state Kerry carried plus Arkansas. Your guy won't carry Michigan or Florida FOR SURE should he get the nomination, which sets him back in the electoral college.

Neither will carry Texas. Neither will carry many of the red state where your guy carried most of the caucuses.

30. And you base this on what evidence?
According to the latest polls, Obama holds every blue state except New York and New Hampshire which are statistically tied.

http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Obama/Maps/Apr16.html

Meanwhile McLame is trouncing her in Wisconsin, Michigan, Oregon, New Hampshire, and her home state of New York is statistically tied. And McLame is also comfortably ahead in Arkansas.

36. The poster bases it on wishful thinking that clinton is still able to win.
She isn't.

39. I actually believe Clinton could win
Odds making in April is foolish because the 7 months between now and November is an eternity in the political world. I'm just posting April polls because Jackson_dem does it every freaking day to try and prove that Obama isn't electable.

8. Hillary could pick the reincarnation of FDR for her VP...
and I'd still have to remind myself of the alternative and grit my teeth to vote for her.

23. I know
just sayin' if the freakishly unlikely thing happened and she did.
I mean this is politics and we all know she would do anything to win the nomination.
Who knows what she could throw out there on Obama.

13. I was a HUGE Clarkie in 04. He has lost my support through his "soldier-like" servitude
of the Empress.

I am over him.

14. Clark is, IMO, an a** kissing sycophant whereas General Zinni is a ret. general highly respected
by both civilians as well as the active duty military.

Against Obama it would be a toss-up.

She isn't going to have the chance to pick a VP.

38. After tonight, when she piled on about Ayers
and all the other bullshit while he was as gracious as possible about Bosnia and her other "gaffes," I really would have difficulty voting for her for anything even with Clark as her running mate. I know I will change my mind when I have calmed down, but damn. I'm pissed.
