I just can't see them running together
And I'm not just saying that because of the latest negativity. Way back in the Fall, I just couldn't see it.

I don't see Hillary and Obama as compatible. I don't see them as bringing strength to each othes' weaknesses. To me, it has always seemed like something that would be forced upon them, each grimacing and trying to pretend they were happy about it.

Thoughts?

1. I'm afraid she'll pull a Lieberman and undermine him somehow.
It just worries me.

NGU.

3. Well, obviously, she would be the one to gain from
such an agreement. And remember just a few weeks ago, she was offering Obama the VP spot when HE was ahead?

2. Fortunately, you won't have to worry about that.

4. If Obama continues to listen to his supporters as he has done so far...
There's no way in hell she will be on the ticket.

We don't want her and we won't accept her.

5. I dont see it either
Hillary has a lust for power, and I cant see her willingly playing second fiddle to anyone.

Maybe if Obama was a Bush kind of figurehead she would be content ruling from the VP office like Cheney, but Obama isnt the kind of man who would give her that kind of power.

6. There was a telling silence at the last debate when Gibson asked them to pledge to a unity ticket
Neither of them wants this.
