Obama-Clinton.... bank it people, done deal

[ShaneGR]

The hate will end. Hopefully some of you can channel your negative energy towards the real enemies... REPUBLICANS.

1. I agree.

And I called it a long time ago.

[Tinksrival]

53. Then why do they refuse to talk to the Obama team?

DNC's Brazile Says Clinton Camp Refuses Obama 'Olive Branch'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/01/dncs-brazile-says-clinton_n_104553.html

BRAZILE: Look, in 72 hours I'm sure many of us will declare because there's no question that the pressure is on to end this nomination fight. The battle's over. We know the victor. And I learned a great deal sitting in a room, on some of the struggles we did in the middle of the night. Of course, we were drinking fresh water. I kept waiting to see if the Clinton campaign would go over to the Obama campaign or the undeclared superdelegates and cut a deal. And there was no effort whatsoever to come to the undeclared superdelegates. Remember, we're a bunch of superdelegates. The Clinton campaign went in with 13 declared superdelegates. Obama had nine. He walked away yesterday, if you look at the final vote, with 19 people taking his position. He also could have won on a crucial vote on this Michigan proposal to split the delegation 50-50. And rather than cause a ruckus they gave in. He had the votes. and the Clinton campaign never took the olive branch.

2. Obama/Schweitzer

All of Clinton's appeal to rural America with none of the drawbacks.

[Skwmom]

39. The True Change Ticket. He will reinforce Obama's image as authentic, not another political phony.

It will be like a breath of fresh air.

Schweitzer will help to POSITIVELY DEFINE Obama. You can already tell that they are trying to paint him as another ruthless, do anything politician. If he taps Schweitzer, the GOP will NEVER succeed in this attack. This ticket will make straight talk express McCain look like another phony politician.

[MercutioATC]

42. From your keyboard to god's monitor.

...or Obama's monitor.


I agree. He's got great visions of his own, and he'd exponentially increase Obama's appeal among rural voters. He's also so matter-of-factly blunt about everything that he'd make McCain look like a snake oil salesman.

[LakeSamish706]

3. Nope! Not a chance! n/t

[VeraAgnes]

20. What will you do

if that is the plan?

[KittyWampus]

24. there is ZERO chance Hillary and Bill would survive vetting. Bill has been pimping himself out

and hanging out with scum.

[LakeSamish706]

25. I won't be a happy camper is what! I would have to question Obama's mind set as well. n/t

[Blarch]

4. not gonna happen.

[Crazy Dave]

5. What, with most of the Hillary supporters wanting to vote for McCain?

Doesn't that in fact make them "republicans"?

[Writer]

8. I'll bet that'll change if Clinton gets the VP nod.

[Crazy Dave]

19. Sure, give a little kid want they want and they're always happy

[PBS Poll-435]

6. Would be nice.

[newmajority]

7. No Clintons on this ticket or any in the future.

The Democratic party will rise from the ashes of the DLC and will once again become the party of FDR, of JFK, and of Barack Obama, the next greatest President of the United States.

10. I TOOK it to the bank, they told me it was counterfeit.

[sellitman]

11. Clinton has a better chance being McSame's VP.

No way!

[blm]

12. Did Clintons channel more negative energy into Bush and GOP the last 8 yrs or other Democrats?

She will NOT be VP. There is no 'deal' for it. You're spinning a yarn that few here are dumb enough to buy.

[Doityourself]

13. I would fear for his safety more than I already do...

[still_one]

14. No way. At one time it might have been possible, but after her campaign's behavior yesterday

along with her outright dishonesty, I would be very amazed if that happened

[Evergreen Emerald]

51. "outright dishonesty" I just watched Obama lie in his speech

and not one person commented on it. He gets away with everything.

Clinton demands that the votes be counted and you act like she is the devil.

(his lie: that Clinton ran a dirty campaign, and other than striking back a couple of times, he did not. That is a flat out lie)

[AllentownJake]

15. Doubt it

but I've been wrong before.

[C_U_L8R]

16. The irrational rage from the Clinton team

seems to contradict any possibility of a VP slot.
They went for scorched earth and, in the process, burnt all their bridges home.
Deadenders.

[Growler]

17. not going to happen

after the disgusting display by Hillary's supporters and surrogates on Saturday, this will never happen.

Bank it. :)

[Carolina]

18. oh hell NO

that would truly be politics as usual. Unlike Kennedy-Johnson where Johnson brought Texas, Shrillary brings nothing but neagtives. A Dem will win NY anyway.

Do not reward a spoiler. She got enough of a compromise yesterday and couldn't even appreciate that.

She's a liar, a cheater and a spoiler who will do everything possible to undermine Obama. Besides, what the fuck would they do with Bill?!

[Joe Bacon]

21. That check will BOUNCE

Hillary is finished.

[Towlie]

22. No, the Bush-Clinton-Bush cycle is OVER!

Hillary is too disliked by Obama's supporters, and her appearance on the ticket would discourage them from coming to the polls. That's plainly obvious to anyone who reads this forum.

Obama doesn't need to make such concessions now. He's the winner.

[bunnies]

23. I would seriously question Obamas judgment.

And I would probably be ill. :puke:

[PretzelWarrior]

26. I love making shit up on the internet too

[zanne]

27. Here we go again--the next DU war.

There's no way we're going to agree on who should be Obama's VP pick.

[rucky]

28. Why do you figure?

I could live with it, just curious about the signs that may point to that ticket.

[nebula]

29. This would discredit his entire message

and Hillary stated repeatedly that McCain is qualified to be in the WH while Obama is not.


Grandpa will be running those clips 24/7.

[WeDidIt]

30. I think it's 100% dependent upon Senator Clinton

I think Obama sent a signal to Hillary Clinton with the 59-69 split on Michigan.

He had the votes for a 50-50 split and everybody knew it. Instead, he went with the compromise that was 100% in line with the Michigan Democratic Party in order to win the vote by more than a 2 to 1 margin.

Furthermore, I do not beleive a deal has been struck, only the offer of Secretary of Health and Human Services if she concedes.

The ball is in her court. If she graciously bows out next week, I suspect the odds of her being the Veep will ahve increased dramatically.

[movonne]

35. Never, never and never....this is a crappy idea...

[gaiilonfong]

31. NOT A FRIGGIN CHANCE

that is a loser
Hillary LOST she desrves nothing

[movonne]

32. Where did you get that pipe dream???

[RazBerryBeret]

33. No freakin way.

this wouldn't work out for anyone.

[AZBlue]

34. NEVER. GONNA. HAPPEN.

[anonymous171]

36. She's my last choice. Mainly because I don't want Bill backseat president-ing.

[MonkeyFunk]

52. Nobody's ever claimed

he's been a back-seat senator for the past 7 years. Your concerns are unwarranted.

[Buzz Clik]

37. Obama-Clinton on the same ticket? Are you that interested in losing to McCain?

[Exilednight]

38. Hillary will not be on the ticket, done deal. Get past the idea. n/t

[my3boyz]

40. That will happen when hell freezes over. nt

[butterfly77]

41. Keep dreaming...

not going to happen..

[krawhitham]

43. Then she can knife him in the back and become president

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

44. It's a "done deal...breaker" for me.

[yellowwood]

45. No, No. And No

I would certainly lose my respect for Barack Obama if he let her on as Vice President. So many people I talk with, mostly women, really dislike Hillary Clinton. She would add nothing to the ticket. I know that she has some really loud supporters, but I doubt that they represent most women.

[Beregond2]

46. A pig just flew past my window!

[Thickasabrick]

47. Nope - Obama/Warner eom

[elfin]

48. Oh NOOOOO!

She is the Rethugs DREAM to raise money and roll out the bank of hate-filled Emails, 527's etc.

Remember Ferraro and HER husband's shady dealings? Chickenfeed to Bill's wheelings and dealings.

No more drama - Just Obama and whomever else he may choose.

Hillary is truly needed in the Senate now that Ted is compromised.

If she were VP and in charge of getting the agenda through Congress - forget it - she has tried to work across the aisle - BUT her true nature is intransigence and denial as shown in the Healthcare initiative and in the way she has run this campaign.

[XemaSab]

49. It's the unity ticket

Uniting the entire party in irritation that they have to vote for someone they don't like. :P

[dana_b]

50. nope. I wouldn't bet on that if I was given the money.
