One excuse to put Hillary on as vp has been put forth
that I just can't understand. The fact that Abraham Lincoln and JFK each put their opposition on their tickets or in their cabinet. We all know how well that worked out for them so why would they use these two examples as why Obama should put Hillary on his ticket?

1. Holy shit! You are right! I forgot how Lincoln had done that as well.
Both he and JFK have set a grisly precedent.

2. Good point.
Why let history repeat itself?

I have to say I'm quite torn on this issue. All I ever wanted was change. Is that too much to ask for America? :(

6. I don't have a source. I'm not sure where I
saw it or read it, but I usually watch msnbc and I believe it was during the gabblefest during the wait for the results of a primary not long ago. I heard it more then once then a couple of days ago it sunk in that both outcomes were not good for the two Presidents.

4. My broken record post...TRUST Obama to make the right decision...
If he chooses Hillary, GREAT!!! Go Team!!


If he chooses Sebelius, Richardson or Richardson, GREAT!!! Go Team!!!

Bottom line, if Obama chooses Hillary, he MUST have a reason for doing so.

10. Lincoln was wise and humble enough to make a concerted effort
not to surround himself with sycophants, yes-men and ass-kissers. All things considered, he handled even the difficulties magnificently.

Exactly, it is time for a fresh start and that mostlikely won't include Hillary.

14. I could possibly accept that
if she agreed to divorce Bill and not let him anywhere near the white house.
