Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 01:12 AM by fujiyama
fuck her.

If she does this week, I think depending on how the two camps handle it, she has the potential to be an effective surrogate and to help keep this away from the insanity of McCain. She has to realize what's right - and convince her most radical supporters as well...

2. LOL, like you are the one who decides who the vp will be
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 01:19 AM by goldcanyonaz
This is so ridiculous, Obama and his campaign have internals to decide these things and message boards on the internets are not even a factor. And, quit with the *fuck her* crap, unless of course your candidate approves of your using such language online to refer to Clinton.

3. They should make it appear as if she's being seriously considered.
But there is no way she should get it. She and Bill have to suck it up and do the right thing for the party. They've had their time, it's over now, show some class.

4. I have this weird little fantasy kicking around in my head...
Tomorrow nite when all of her supporters show up, they will be greeted by Bill and Chelsea and A huge screen....

cut to....

Hillary and Barack in Minn. together touting thier newly formed unity ticket :)

I know, it's a flawed fantasy, but hell it's better than some of my other ones;)

7. If she concedes this week she should be considered VP -- Very Proper
I think she could get a cabinet post, but not the VP spot.

16. Absolutely
Any departure from campaigning before the convention is a concession. No matter what you think the score is, the game isn't over until the allotted time for that game expires.

13. Hell no
not after that nasty disgusting display put on by her spokesman Harold Ickes and supporters
at the Rules committee on Saturday. That was the very last straw.

She would be better off running for the President of Iraq for all I care.

14. Obamaniacs.....
are so phony, even their shit isn't real. I have yet to see a thread, or post from an O fan that does not agree the Clintons are racist, so if any O fan even suggests HRC for VP, it would be, in effect, an admission that the bullshit race card tactics used by Obama and his minions is horse-shit, and always have been horse-shit. Unless O fans are willing to forego their ethics for the sake of winning, of course. I'm sure MLK would like to have seen a black man in the White House, but I'm just as sure he would have condemned the tactics used to get there. Obama and his following have made a mockery of the dream MLK once envisioned. Thanks.

15. If she's a good choice for VP, she'll still be one next week.
And the week after.

17. Agreed, if she's on board, then she should be on the list
If she holds out the full week, she should automatically be removed from teh list.

Let her actions speak.

19. i think Obama supporters should be careful
she may drop out without actually conceding. but it may be due more to her wanting to pay off the campaign debt rather than actually thinking she will be the nominee.

it's similar to Edwards where he suspended campaigning rather than say concede or dropped out.

so lets not attack her if she doesn't use specific words .

20. Hillary must understand VP means a full vetting process.
She wouldn't even consider it.
