BE HONEST, after a few weeks of cooling off how will you feel about Hillary........

[Vote2008]

Let's admit now is not the time to decide if Hillary should be the VP. We all need to calm down and wait a couple of weeks to cool off. After cooling off, could you accept Hillary as the VP?

[malta blue]

1. I would not want her as VP at this point.

I just think it is time to move on.

[gravity]

2. Can I cool off and not think Hillary should be the VP?

[gravity]

3. Can I cool off and not think Hillary should be the VP?

[polichick]

4. After the things she has pulled during this primary...

...especially floating the idea of assassination, I would never trust HRC enough to want her anywhere near the WH.

[lonestarnot]

5. No VP! NOT! This cat fight has been enough for me.

[graywarrior]

6. I just want to win in November

I may have to put a lot of emotional baggage aside for that.

[Vote2008]

8. I agree!

[movonne]

18. But I hope it doesn't include her for vp...another cabinet position o.k.

[graywarrior]

22. We can do only so much. We can debate, we can write letter, we can vote.

We can't control everything. Things will play out the way they're gonna. I'm not happy with the Clintons either, but I'll take them over McCain or any other republican anyday.

[Adelante]

7. No nt

[ericgtr]

9. Up until the Kennedy assassination remark I was quite calm

At first I was angry, then hurt and now I am mellowed out about it but the disappointment will probably never go away. Personally, I can not accept her in office in any way after that statement, there is no way to spin it, no justification, it was the worst possible thing she could ever say.

I was all for her having a place in politics either with Obama or a cabinet position of some kind but at this point I don't believe she should be anywhere in politics and the best thing that could happen is her career ends. She's got plenty of money, retire and live it up! But a person who would say something like that does not deserve to be a public servant.

I really wish I felt differently about this. :(

[BlueJac]

10. I am not even hot, I just don't want her on the ticket.......

for the same reason I did not support her. Old school DC politics, the change is coming and she must be left at the station.

[billyoc]

11. She's a downticket apocalypse.

Forget it.

[Aloha Spirit]

31. "downticket apocalypse," next Speilberg thriller?

[faithfulcitizen]

12. I wouldn't vote for her for dog catcher.

[Colobo]

13. I've always been open to it, honestly.

[movonne]

20. Please get un-opened...this would be one of the craziest thing that

could happen..

[KittyWampus]

14. Not having her as VP has nothing to do with my emotional reaction to her, her behavior or rhetoric

it has everything to do with the dirty money/business dealings she and Bill have that wouldn't stand real scrutiny during the GE.

And the Clinton pardons.

[LWolf]

15. A few weeks, a few months, a few years; it won't matter.

I'll still feel the same. I won't support either of them.

[BeatleBoot]

16. Why would she want VP?

It still makes no sense to me why she would even want it.

[movonne]

21. In her own words "anything could happen" ...that would be the reason

she would want it..

[MercutioATC]

17. As the VP, no. Looking back at how Obama benefited from the campaign? Probably.

Had this been a more cordial primary, Obama would not have been as thoroughly vetted.

Has this been a more cordial primary, we would have never seen how Obama reacts in the face of a tough campaign.


In any negative experience, there are good things that can be learned.

[smoogatz]

19. Hillary brings nothing to the VP slot.

No skills, no experience, no constituency aside from 50-something white women, who will ultimately vote for Obama anyway unless they're total fools. But she would bring a lot of negatives: she'd galvanize a lot of wingnut voters to turn out against her, she'd constantly be fighting Obama for the spotlight (and threatening to stab him in the back if she didn't get her way), she'd insist on some sort of cumbersome co-presidency instead of accepting the subordinate role that's traditional to the vice presidency, nd there'd always be that edge of Clinton drama to deal with, the whiff of scandal serving as a media distraction from both the election and the administration. Plus, what to do with Wild Bill? Nope, Obama'd be much better served by Richardson or Webb, or even Biden.

[TexasObserver]

23. She is not qualified, not competent to be president.

She can't fix that. I can see her in some cabinet post, but not as president. She's not up to the job, and she's proved that repeatedly the past 5 months.

[Vinca]

24. I remember the day when I actually adored Hillary Clinton.

I now despise her. She is acting as if she is entitled by her gender and/or name to be our nominee whether or not she has the delegates needed. There is no way she can get the number needed. No way whatsoever. After seeing the way she's gotten a segment of the party all stirred up and ready to vote for McCain, I wouldn't support her for dog catcher. If Democrats lose in November, she - and the McCain voters she has generated - will have the blood of our soldiers and innocent Iraqis on their hands. I'm just disgusted by it all. If Obama had lost 11 straight contests, he would have politely bowed out and Obama supporters would have moved to Clinton. What's wrong with this picture?

[Crunchy Frog]

25. My opinion of her as VP has absolutely nothing to do with cooling off.

It is based on a cool headed assessment of the reality of the situation. I think she would be just about the worst choice imaginable, and that isn't going to change.

[GoesTo11]

26. Not a matter of anger. A matter of sanity.

She should not be VP because she would drag down the ticket, destroy Dems down ticket, and if she ever became president, she would drag down the country.

[bain_sidhe]

27. Ask this AFTER the fighting stops.

It's too soon for this poll.

[invictus]

28. I will NOT vote for any ticket that include Hillary Clinton. n/t

[The Stranger]

29. Hillary is and always will be a traitor to her party. She is similar to Lieberman now.

[Eurobabe]

30. Forget it.

Obama better not put her on the ticket, or he is doomed.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. The best reason I can come with to vote for Obama is that he's NOT a Clinton.

If she were to get on the ticket it would be a deal breaker.

[RichardRay]

33. Depends on whether Senator Obama wants her there or not.

If he does, it's OK by me. If he doesn't then it's not. It won't be a matter of 'cooling down' or not, it'll be a matter of whether an accomplished politician and his skillful team think she'll help the success of the ideals and policies for which they advocate.

[CakeGrrl]

34. "Cooling off" will not negate her attacks, her divisive actions, or their ill effects

My, or any other voters', disposition toward this primary is not the point.

Whatever I feel now or a few weeks from now will not make Hillary Clinton less of a liability. She's proven herself to be a very poison pill. I don't know what more she and her campaign need to do to demonstrate that she cannot be trusted near the levers of power, especially with someone "in the way".

[fishwax]

35. even when fully cooled off, I don't think she'd make a good VP choice

[Milo_Bloom]

36. She voted for the war. She cannot be trusted in any office.

[wvbygod]

37. Not a chance...hate is their right to practice while preaching against it

Hatred has replace humanity for many.

[Zavulon]

38. VP? I don't even want her to keep her Senate seat anymore. I want her to just go the fuck away.

I could spend the next four years "cooling off" and still wouldn't want her running for a PTA chair. After her IWR vote, her countless lies (many of which were just insulting to anyone with a brain), her RFK remark and then her cowardly decision to hide behind Ted's brain cancer...

No matter how long I spend "cooling off," I will have nothing but contempt for her, which is exactly what she has for everyone but herself. If any of you think she gives a fuck about you, the Democratic Party, or anyone but herself, you're sadly mistaken.

I hate her guts. She makes me sick. I just want her to drop out of politics forever and go the fuck away.
