CNN reporting an Obama/Clinton ticket might happen

[mudesi]

Apparently, Clinton is now begging for the VP spot.

Stand firm, Obama. Stand firm.

[anonymous171]

1. No shock Barack.

[CakeGrrl]

2. Ugh. Gawd, she's scary. No one who wants it THAT bad should get near the seat of power.

n/t

[LittleBlue]

3. Stand firm, Barack!

DON'T DO IT!

[ram2008]

7. please don't barack

It's not that I dislike Hillary, its just that its time for a Clinton and a Bush to not be on the ticket for once. Its time to turn the page. Maybe a high ranking cabinet position?

[LittleBlue]

16. She's not fit for any high level cabinet positions.

SecState and SecDef are off the table. She's too full of war and annihilation talk.

Those are the only two better than a Senate position, except AG. She could only really be the AG, but that's supposedly for Edwards.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

85. Time to set up the "Food Tasters' Cabinet"

and a program to recruit replacements on a regular basis.

[hedgehog]

4. NOOOOOOO! Don't do it!

[sfam]

38. How 'bout we TRUST Obama's judgment? Common folks...

We've poured our soul into this candidate. Are you telling me you don't trust him? If Obama thinks Hillary is the best choice for VP, why wouldn't you want him to pick her?

I for one will be thrilled and enthused with whomever he picks. If its Hillary, than GREAT!!!! Go Team!!!

[hedgehog]

43. Strange things happen when selecting a VP candidate. McGovern

chose Eagleton and within a day everyone knew Eagleton's medical history. RFK was dispatched to tell LBJ that he wasn't the choice, and before he got to Johnson's hotel suite, someone convinced JFK to pick up the phone and offer the position on the ticket to Johnson.

[hokies4ever]

71. You can root for the football coach to call a fade pass to the endzone corner

and still support him when the run up the middle on 3rd and goal gets you a touchdown. :rofl:

I won't be celebrating till the ball is spiked in the endzone if he chooses Hillary. For now, I'm in favor of a different play call.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

5. You can't throw sand in my face at recess ...

and then ask to sit with my at lunch.It does'nt work like that.I would vote for them but I would need a while to accept it.

Stay firm Obama.Tell her no.

[goclark]

23. The visual of her on the ticket scares me

The two don't fit ~ total opposites for CHANGE

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

36. The campaign she ran does not fit his campaign.

Please choose someone else.The way Ickes,Wolfson (sp?) and McAufflife have been acting has been ugly.And you have to blame her for their actions.She co-signed on them by keeping them on her side.

[Auntie Bush]

76. Does the visual of McCain as president scare you more or less?

[AllentownJake]

6. CNN shilling for Clinton

Shocking....

[featherman]

77. Ding, ding, ding.... we have a winner

[Junkdrawer]

8. Been saying the media will try to arrange a shotgun marriage...n/t

[Cha]

32. The mainstream media gave us the War On Iraq..they

will not give us a hilary vp. NOT THIS TIME.

[crickets]

63. Trying real hard. Ratings, ya know. Jerks.

Obama has plenty of other talent to choose from; there's no need to prop up a dynasty. Change = a clean break from the Clintons and the DLC.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

86. Notice that CNN Clinton News Network doesn't pull the same shit on McInsane?

they're always trying to crap on the DEMS.

[newmajority]

9. CrappyNewsNetwork has been spinning that shit for weeks.

For some reason, it's Leslie Blitzer's wet dream.

[Adelante]

10. CNN is obsessed with this

Pay them no mind.

[helderheid]

11. FINE. Although I loathe the whole Clinton Bush Clinton Bush thing, I'll take this.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Bleh.

:puke:

[Imagevision]

13. F**k CNN...

[Condem]

14. I HOPE so.

[gblady]

15. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Florida4Obama]

18. nancy pelosi wouldnt allow this to happen

don't worry guys

[goclark]

39. Sounds good to me, but why wouldn't she

go for it?

[Benhurst]

61. Nancy Impeachment-is-off-the-table Pelosi will prevent this?

It's Obama's job to make the call.

Pelosi ought to butt out and start living up to her own Constitutional responsibilities.

19. No way! Clinton is the same old same old. Clinton will sink Obama

[peace13]

20. Obama has been saying UMMMM a lot .

I hope that he is not losing his resolve that we can change the world. If he picks Hill then I will know that all bets are off and that it will be business as usual. Sorry to the Hill lovers but I want nothing to do with her values at this point! BOSNIA!!!!!

[ej510]

It sure makes you take a second look at Obama doesn't it?

[sfam]

21. CNN Reporting that Boston might win the NBA Championship...

Like, OK...yeah, that's a possibility. Are they gonna start reporting all possible scenarios for all upcoming events or just the VP race?

[quantass]

29. Double FUCK!

[SoxFan]

30. Them's fightin' words, bubba

When we raise banner #17, we'll be sure to give you an invitation!

[dailykoff]

22. Fuck those ass clowns.

Seriously, they just want some asswipe neocon on the ticket so they can have their little war in Iran.

:mad:

[yourguide]

24. CNN also reporting the Knicks might win again

I find that more likely than Clinton being offered the VP slot.

[americanstranger]

41. Dude. Ouch.

Knicks fan here. That hurt.

But I agree with you on the Hil-VP thing. That's a sure loser in the GE.

- as

[yourguide]

45. Come on

you cant tell me that's not true.

I'm a NYer, a good friend of mine has held season tickets for 10 years.

They suck now, ah how we all miss the Riley days

[americanstranger]

50. Oh, by all means it's true.

Truth hurts.

I'd settle for the Van Gundy Knicks at this point. Even the Don Nelson Knicks.

- as

[yourguide]

54. I would take THIS van gundy back

[americanstranger]

65. Those were great times to be a fan.

What a kickass team they were.

Eh. Maybe in another 5 years or so...

- as

[Auggie]

25. I bet they're playing this for ratings

[quantass]

26. FUCK!!! Give me a noose!

[Zomby Woof]

27. I doubt it will happen

He won't offer, and she wouldn't accept if he did.

But I think you're wishing for it. You NEED to keep obsessing over her, and that would be just the ticket, so to speak.

[rainbow4321]

28. NO. FUCKING. WAY. Please.

It will totally go against his promise for change if she is on the ticket. SHE is not change.

[Drunken Irishman]

31. Bad Barack, bad!

[nebula]

33. You might as well put Ann fucking Coulter on the ticket.

it would make just as much sense.

[Condem]

37. What a fuckin stupid thing to say, nebula.

What drives you?

[Indy Lurker]

34. She's still trying to be president

Even if she has to work her way up from VP.

After all "We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June"

[Doityourself]

35. FUCK. If he offers her the VP spot I'm gonna have to disappear for a while..OMG

[LibertyorDeath]

MSNBC Reporting

that CNN sucks Ass !

Finally some accuracy in corporate News....

[Diane R]

40. I would worry for his safety if he puts her on the ticket. n/t

[Condem]

42. Serious, Diane R?

[TwilightGardener]

53. Exactly how I feel.

44. CNN hasn't been accurate lately

[Colobo]

46. Whatever Obama decides.

[Lady-Damai]

47. Begging?

Damn...a woman begging for a man to give her job?

QUITE SAD! :yoiks:

[TexasObserver]

48. CNN shilling for Clinton

[Condem]

49. Admit it, Obamans

Hillary had a better second half.

[SoonerPride]

56. You don't win games by who scores more in a half.

No sale.

[Condem]

66. You've missed the point, sooner

I thought you would.

[CakeGrrl]

64. Thanks to who...the voters in KY and WV who won't vote for "HUSSIAN"?

And you think they'll come along just because Hillary is No. 2?

I don't.

[TwilightGardener]

51. Nope--he doesn't need her. Or her bullshit. Or Bill's bullshit.

[Condem]

57. Yes, indeedy

Bill Clinton is persona non grata, now. We'll show HIM.

[TwilightGardener]

60. He is. He's awful. I wouldn't care if I never had his bony finger in my face again.

[Condem]

62. He put his finger in your face?

It could of been much worse, wiener. Probably much deserved, too.

[SwampG8r]

87. what did it smell like?

[americanstranger]

68. Word 'em up, doggie.

He can - and will - win without her or Bill's 'help,' thanks.

- as

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

52. Begging and threatening!! n/t

[Upton]

55. CNN is in the tank for Clinton

what they say doesn't mean much. Yesterday, they spent more time calculating the overall popular vote tabulation than they did the delegate count.

[TwilightGardener]

58. They have also (mostly Wolf Blitzer) been pushing the Nightmare Ticket

so hard at debates, post-election, etc. that you'd think they almost bought stock in that ticket.

[marlakay]

67. they are just as delusional as she is

no way.

[LeftyMom]

69. Oh. Hell. No.

At this point, that woman shouldn't even get in the white house on the public tour.

[salguine]

70. Man? I don't want to be one of those pouting, ultimatum-spouting types, but

if this happens, I'm not gonna vote. I won't cast a vote for anything that even whiffs of Hillary Clinton. Na' ga' do it. Sorry.

[billyoc]

72. It would be worth it to see the EPIC FAIL of her vetting process.

Everyone knows she's a downticket 9/11.

[stillcool]

73. and I might win the lottery.

[cottonseed]

74. What I don't understand is why? Why would Hillary even want it?

Isn't President the goal here? What is she going to accomplish be becoming Vice President? Well, I'm sure what we're talking about here is a co-Presidency and I just don't see how that will work. We've got Bill to deal with and that unprincipled squirmy team of hers too. In practice, I just can't imagine it happening.

[VotesForWomen]

75. "begging for VP slot?" dream on. we don't even have a nominee yet. and if O gets the nom, i think

hill knows better than to get on a sinking ship.

[Eurobabe]

78. Is he STUPID??

I think not.

Dream on Hillfans.

[WA98070]

79. In their dreams. The Clinton News Network and the rest of the MSM are ...

going to try to assist the DLC in forcing her on him.

[HooptieWagon]

80. Good god, I hope not.

I think its a big mistake. WhyTF would Obama want her around to stab him in the back, and why would he want Bill in the background?

Of course, she does provide an element of protection for Obama... what wingnut would off him if it meant HRC for president?

[Crunchy Frog]

81. Please God not this...

[crickets]

88. That toon says it all.

[AtomicKitten]

82. Just say no to crazy, Barack.

[loyalsister]

83. I want to trust Obama

But, I just can't see that ending well.
Bill's public behavior as an alleged advocate during this campaign has been out of control. He's an adult, and is free to do what he wants unless we throw humanity aside and put him on a leash. But really we do not deserve to have a loose cannon damaging our agenda.
Who knows at this point what could be expected from Hillary. She has been so unpredictable that it is hard to guess whether she would be a supportive VP.

I have the worst image in my head of Hillary playing the ex girlfriend having trouble moving on.
Not on the second ticket.
Confession: I watched "The Way We Were" the other day.
Maybe not a bad analogy (with some reversals and changes sprinkled in here and there) for what my impression of the impending doom may be, though. I am certainly grieving over what has become of my image of both Clintons and this primary!

:shrug:

[Kitsune]

84. That would be a dealbreaker for me. No more Clintons. No more Bushes. *nt*
