Are There Any Obama Supporters Who Want Clinton On The Ticket For VP?

[BlooInBloo]

I would have assumed no, but maybe I should check.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. I don't know. Probably, though.

It's a good bet, given the number of Obama supporters.

[WA98296]

2. NO. If he includes her on the ticket, I'm going to ask for a refund on my contributions to his race

[truebrit71]

3. No.

In fact, HELL NO!

[Bensthename]

4. nah, GOP hate machine would rip the ticket to shreds. We need Biden or Clark.

[DesertFlower]

15. yes. i agree. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

101. I agree with part one, part two not so much. NO BIDEN. Maybe Clark, although I'd prefer

Dodd, Richardson, or Feingold.

[Eurobabe]

5. NO WAY

Not this one. Thnxbai!

[GarbagemanLB]

6. No.

[Diamond Dog]

7. Down with the DLC. Absolutely not. n/t

[Hawkeye-X]

8. not only NO

but HELL NO.

She is damaged goods.

Hawkeye-X

[samdogmom]

9. A-B-S-O-U-L-T-L-Y N-O-T !!!!!!

I think the last debate put this question to rest. Neither candidate wants the other on their ticket. In the case of Hillary--She'll just bring the ticket WAY DOWN!

[DrFunkenstein]

10. Isn't That What The Politics of Change Is All About?

If not, then I'd have to respectfully decline.

[BlooInBloo]

14. Just making sure that when I see a "Clinton for VP" thread, I can safely assume...

... It's a Clinton supporter trying for 2nd-best.

EDIT: Or else it's someone else that we're not allowed to talk about. Not that there's a lot of difference.

[DesertFlower]

11. absolutely not. nt

[dchill]

12. NO!

[rox63]

13. Gack! N-o-o-o-o-o! n/t

[Coexist]

16. sorry, no.

[Adelante]

17. No nt

[Why Syzygy]

18. Um. No.

[HockeyMom]

19. Never

[Liberal Gramma]

20. No. Not. Never. Uh-uh.

[Mme. Defarge]

21. That would be my idea of

THE NIGHTMARE TICKET.

[BlooInBloo]

24. Put you down for "on the fence."

:P

[Mme. Defarge]

154. Ok. Sure.

[DebbieCDC]

22. NO WAY

[otohara]

23. I Don't Think She'd Accept, or Be Happy

with the #2 title. She kinda already was the veep, there's a reason why her and Al Gore are on the outs.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

25. She has already burned that bridge

burned it, then collected the little burnt pieces up, pissed on them, then burned them again.

[Bensthename]

28. you nailed it

[BlooInBloo]

39. Another undecided.

:P

[ecstatic]

44. Bingo. I wince at the idea of a "Dream ticket" now

More like NIGHTMARE ticket. :puke:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

78. She burned the whole damn village.

I guess it takes a Hillary.

[Cha]

138. And after she burned it the second time..

she threw it in her sludgemaster and mixed it up to see what she could smear him with the last day before the PA Primary.

[Hepburn]

26. NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!!! n/t

[tokenlib]

27. there are more qualified candidates..Richardson, Clark, Sibelius, etc

[ClayZ]

29. NO!

[BklynChick]

30. NO

[tularetom]

31. No fricking way

A year ago i was expecting that she would probably become our 44th president. But her performance in this primary campaign has alienated me to the point where I'd like to see her leave the Senate.

[gateley]

32. No. Myriad of reasons, but no. nt

[newmajority]

33. 28 years of BushClinton trickle down corporatist reverse robin hood middle class destroying bullshit

is what's wrong with this country. No more Clintons. No more Bushes. Not now. Not ever.

[PBS Poll-435]

34. Maybe Chris Matthews?

:shrug:

[catgirl]

35. No

[Catherine Vincent]

36. I could go for that.

Once one of them is chosen for our nominee....I think they would make a great team.

[elizm]

37. NO.

[Lerkfish]

38. I think it would be a clusterf@ck of biblical proportions

no, really, I do, here's why:

She's already demonstrated she is better at sabotaging her own campaign than running against someone else's. Who would want such an albatross? not to mention her husband is completely an uncontrollable loose cannon.

She's burned bridges against high ranking dems in her search for power....essentially burning some pretty major bridges -- what that means is Obama will have to waste a lot of time in damage control to get those people back in the fold

she has higher negatives than any other candidate. Having her in the VP slot will not help (have I mentioned albatross yet?)

and, the most important thing is a VP has to be willing to humble themselves for the good of the party. I don't think she's capable, at this point, of doing that. she's painted herself into a political corner. she's ended her own career.

why put radioactive waste in your shorts? Politically, that would the analogy to having her on the ticket.

Plus, I think he's a lot smarter than that. He'd get someone with ACTUAL experience.

[BlooInBloo]

50. Phew - so many people on the fence!

:P

[mwb970]

40. Not really.

I want her to stay on in politics as she has been a good Senator. Not VP, though.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

41. Nope.

N-O-P-E.

[redqueen]

42. No.

[gateley]

On an objective note --

I read/heard an expert say that would be TWO glass ceilings the Dems would have to break to win the GE. It might help her with Dems, but not with cross-over voters who might vote for one or the other, but not both.

That's my feeling about an Obama/Richardson ticket by the way.

[book_worm]

43. A few months ago maybe, but not anymore.

[City Lights]

45. Nope.

Not even remotely interested in an Obama/Clinton ticket.

[Poll_Blind]

46. NO. n/t

PB

[Cali_Democrat]

47. Hell naw

nt

[Buzz Clik]

48. No. No. NO!

NO!

[gcomeau]

49. I'm sure there are... somewhere...

Statistically speaking I mean. The odds are in favor of it.

[Nia Zuri]

51. He would then need a food taster and to not fly on small planes

so no.

[ORDagnabbit]

52. nope keep that warmongering liar off of the democratic ticket....

[BlooInBloo]

57. You guys are so ambivalent!

:P

[XemaSab]

53. nah

n/t

[SunsetDreams]

54. One word: NO

[jpertello]

55. Not Me--

there are much better people out there in the VP pool to choose from. She is vitriolistic and would immediately solidify the neocon base against Obama. He doesn't need the Clintons (they need him, but tough break there, eh?). What he should have is an experienced guy who appeals to the moderates as well as the dems. Someone with a lot fo foreign policy know how. I nominate Joe Biden. And Bill Richardson would make an excellent Secretary of State.

[babylonsister]

56. NO! nt

[livingmadness]

58. Absolutely not

Some other post perhaps ... but not VP.

[NorthCarolina]

59. Just Say NO to any DLC Democrats n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

60. Not me

Not after this campaign. I thought far more of her before this started, to be honest.

[mckeown1128]

61. No NT

[undeterred]

62. No.

No Way.

[keith the dem]

63. She should stay senator

I believe some of her ideas about policy are better than Obama; however Obama is far better on the the leadership thing.

Since the Congress/Senate make the laws, we need her there for policy.

[guyanakoolaid]

65. Actually she should lose her Senate seat, but we'll get to that later.

[guyanakoolaid]

64. No.

[nxylas]

66. Maybe at one time

Now, I'd be concerned for President Obama's safety if she was "one heartbeat away from the presidency".

[BlooInBloo]

67. OK - IT'S LIKE 65 to 0. I'M CALLING IT A DRAW.

:rofl:

[Lerkfish]

82. well, ultimately it doesn't matter what WE think, that's between Obama and Clinton

they might be more willing that we are to contemplate that ticket.

I just personally think it would be handing a victory to McCain.

[redqueen]

87. Hahahahahaha

[Leopolds Ghost]

121. Tie Goes To Master Shake!!!!!

Because Master Shake Says So.

[BlooInBloo]

123. Poor Meatwad!!! hahahha!

[Leopolds Ghost]

125. Obama MUST Pick Hillary as VP. Here's why:

BECAUSE I SAID SO, MEATWAD!!!!!

Everyone knows I'm the brains of this outfit....

Now in my first act as Chief Campaign Strategist,

I order you to bring me some more of those delicious burrito-thingys.

[endarkenment]

68. I've lost any enthusiasm for that

I used to think it would be a great unifying gesture, now not so much.

[MagickMuffin]

69. Why, she is damaged goods

She has not-a-thing to offer.

Let me be clear of what I think of her being on the ticket:puke:

[anonymous171]

70. I wouldn't mind.

But other people tell me that this would be political suicide on Obama's part. :shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

72. Bravery points!

:)

[TahitiNut]

152. It could very well be more than mere "political suicide on Obama's part."

The EXTREMES of right-wing behavior in this country (and world) are greater than I've seen in my lifetime ... and that includes 1968.

[azmouse]

71. Not me.

[Capn Sunshine]

73. I suggested we give her HEW cabinet post

anything to make her go away so we can seat MI and Fla and shut those folk up as well.

[TheDoorbellRang]

74. I wouldn't trust her to support him

There'd be too many "as far as I know" cracks out of her, undermining his efforts at every turn. He'll have enough to do with cleaning up after B*sh. No need to make his life anymore difficult by throwing in watching out for Hillary.

[nancyr]

75. NO!

Your assumption would be correct.

[Bigleaf]

76. NO!

[flor de jasmim]

77. "No, no, a thousand times no"

[Exilednight]

79. I wouldn't say no.

I'd say HELL NO!

[BlooInBloo]

80. Hah! You got me!

:P

[bobbert]

81. No

[IndependentDem]

83. he could do better, but he could also do worse...

i would be ok with it either way, and it would probably help bring the party back together.

[BlooInBloo]

86. Help bring the party together? Possibly you missed the previous 80 posts-in-a-row....

... Ok, not in a row. There was crazy Ralph a bit earlier who was down with the idea.

[IndependentDem]

90. so you think that Obama supporters would abandon him if Clinton was on the ticket?

I think that the majority of us prefer someone else (Richardson or Edwards for me) but i don't think that Obama would lose support by having Clinton on the ticket-- and i think that many of the "I will never vote for Obama" Clinton supporters would be more likely to support the so called "Unity" ticket.

[BlooInBloo]

92. I just don't understand how pissing off virtually your entire base is "bringing the party together".

... If that WERE "bringing the party together", then I suppose Clinton would be the biggest "uniter" in party history. hahaha!

[IndependentDem]

99. i didn't realize that this would be pissing off virtually his entire base...

i do not speak for his entire base, and i did not base my opinion on what the other 80 people said... you asked for opinions of Obama supporters and i gave mine. you don't have to agree and i may be wrong but its still my opinion. Also, i don't think that this would make Clinton the biggest uniter in history, i think it would make Obama the "uniter" since it is his decision.

[BlooInBloo]

103. And the "no"s keep rolling in.

[IndependentDem]

106. well then i guess i should change my mind because everyone else disagrees?

seriously?

How about this, we agree to disagree-- without being disagreeable... sound familiar?

[BlooInBloo]

109. Nah. You might wish to think about what "bring the party together" means, though...

... Then again, you might not.

[IndependentDem]

111. ok, then what does "bring the party together" mean, since i obviously have no clue?...

Also, after re-reading my initial post i should have said "it could help..." but that doesn't really matter.

[CakeGrrl]

84. No.

[Radical Activist]

85. No. I'd actually like to win.

She will drag down any ticket she's on and she's incapable of reaching 50% on her own.

[SoCalDem]

88. never..

to accept her would turn OFF his supporters and bring him down to HER level..and would mean that he would always have Bill lurking around being interviewed about what HE would have done ..

[Orsino]

89. They could have swept November by working together...

...but the acrimony between the camps would render such a pairing ludicrous.

I don't know how sincere their pledges to each other could be, but hell, if they're willing to try, I think they could still dominate.

[liberaldem4ever]

91. No thank you.

[Life Long Dem]

93. No way would I want her on the ticket.

No way! She would probably still drag Obama down so she can give it another try in 4 years like she is doing right now. Hate to tell her (actually i would love to tell her) but she has no chance in 4 years either. She is done just like Kerry and with the help of her.

[RiverStone]

94. Prefer: Wes Clark, Bill Richardson, or Jim Webb

If Hillary was on the ticket, I would be surprised --- but Obama gets my vote no matter who is in the number two spot.

[npincus]

95. Hell, no.

[sniffa]

96. From a political stand point, I don't see the benefit

She's on the ticket so she'll still drive-out the anti-Clinton vote (many of whom are also the soft on McCain, may show up to vote).

Then again, if she's not on the ticket, the 28 percenters will vote for McCain.

[kwenu]

97. NO! I want her to go away and whatever New York does with her is fine by me.

[Leopolds Ghost]

134. Anything? Anything at all??

Got your word on that? xD

[Zachstar]

98. NO

[crankychatter]

100. there are none

but it's a fair question

[BlooInBloo]

102. Close. There's 1.5 in this thread.

[crankychatter]

119. yeouch - those willful contrarians

harumph

[BlooInBloo]

120. They think it would "bring the party together".

[NC_Nurse]

104. no

I doubt she would want it, but even if she did - no.

[tpsbmam]

105. A few months ago I might have said I didn't really care and if she was his choice....

fine. Now.....no way. She's totally blown it with me -- I don't want her that close to the presidency.

[Az_lefty]

107. No way!! The Clintons are an embarrassment that belong no where near the White House

:puke:

[sendero]

108. A couple months ago...

.. I would have said yes. At this point, no freaking way.

[meow mix]

110. No

no thank you, someone else

[Raineyb]

112. At the risk of sounding repetitive

Not just no but hell no!

I don't want Clinton anywhere near the top ticket this November. I'm done with her.

Regards

[jzodda]

113. NO

Not after the kind of campaign she has waged.

[Tinksrival]

114. Once upon a time,

But that ship has sailed.

[Catherina]

115. Not just no but hell fucking no way in hell no.

:)

[TexasObserver]

116. NO! Would I want Zell Miller or Joe Lieberman?!

She's no longer part of the party, as far as I'm concerned. I hope she loses her senate seat in 2012 to a real Democrat. She's disgusting.

[Vinca]

117. No, no, no. If she hadn't turned into such a liar, maybe, but at this

point she's lost all "truthiness" and would be a drag on the ticket.

[Ichingcarpenter]

118. No..... time to MOVEON.......N/T

[Shae]

122. Not me.

I think he should only consider Democrats for his VP.

:7

[backscatter712]

124. She's completely radioactive at this point.

He'd be crazy to bring her in as running mate.

[bermudat]

126. No

[my3boyz]

127. NO WAY!!! I don't want him tied to that skank in any way. NEVER! nt

[BlooInBloo]

128. Um.... I'm gonna go stand over THERE.

[tekisui]

129. Not anymore. I used to.

[Road Scholar]

130. He'll probably want a loyal democratic VP. nt

[KAZ]

131. Nope.

[marlakay]

132. Not if she was last dem left

she seems to be trying her hardest to completely ruin our party. The only good thing about it, is it is forcing us to stand up and say what we want out of this party and take over.

[PatGund]

133. I'd deal with her there....

But I'd rather see someone with support from both sides, like Gen. Clark

[AlinPA]

135. She is too slimy.

[barack the house]

136. It's seems the logical solution to win. Althogh if she got ratings of zero he could pick & choose.

[Change has come]

137. Nope.

:thumbsdown:

[mod mom]

139. NO!!!!!!!!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

140. Pass me the

hand grenades... Would be more likely a phrase to be heard at my house than "I wish Hillary was Obama's running mate!"

:hi:

[Bucky]

141. I'd suck it down, but it'd be a real bad call on his part, endorsing her "not ready" message.

Having her on the ticket all but admits he needs a Cheney to cover his ass.

[quantass]

142. LOL! Too bad this isn't a POLL....There is NO WAY IN HELL any Obama supporter will take Hillary now.

OMFG...look at what she has done to this party...she is an embarassment... :crazy:

[BlooInBloo]

146. I wanted it as a normal thread so everyone could *see* the long list.

[David Zephyr]

143. No. She's not a team player. The Clintons only care about the Clintons.

She is untrustworthy.

70% of Americans now consider her a liar.

[TheDonkey]

144. HELL----NO!!!!!

[Tribetime]

145. ship has sailed, toothpaste out of tube, fat lady has sung

[BlooInBloo]

147. Can't unscramble an egg! Can't unring the bell! The horses are out of the barn!

[Kahuna]

148. Uhhhh. No thanks. I'll pass. nt

[nebula]

149. She belongs on a ticket with McCrazy

McCrazy/Clinton '08

they were made for each other!

[Pisces]

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

[WillyT]

151. Not Only NO !!! But... HELL NO !!!

:mad:

[rucky]

153. Less and less the longer this has dragged on.

to the point of "NO"

[Arugula Latte]

155. *Gag* Nooooooooooo!

:o

[chapel hill dem]

156. She would probably plot his impeachment from the day the ticket was announced.

She needs to go back to the Senate and take a leadership role in passing our agenda.

[MrSlayer]

157. Absolutely Fuck No!

She would only be an albatross to his campaign. However, if somehow wrests the nomination away she would do well to select him.

[MzShellG]

158. Only if she was a true dem but she was raised repuke......

And has gone back to her roots. Blech. It would further divide the party and provide instablity within the oval office.

[bigwillq]

159. No

Doesn't really make sense.
