[writes3000]

She told New York lawmakers this today.

More fun, fun, fun.

Hillary, my friend. Can you show some genuine support for Obama before you expect to be asked?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

1. Why doesn't she volunteer to be McCain's VP?

She endorsed McCain.

[nichomachus]

7. Obama/Drama '08

[Selatius]

8. I would support an Obama-Edwards ticket. nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. So would I. I was originally an Edwards supporter, and he continually

outpolled all other Dems against McCain. I think that ticket would be unstoppable. However, I don't think John is interested. I think he'd prefer a cabinet position.

[slinkerwink]

9. I'm sure she was asked this, and she responded as anyone would

[WeDidIt]

18. And I'm sure she is on the short list of teh Obama team

And his number crunchers, who have proven to be the best the business has ever seen, will do the number crunching. If it makes the most sense to have her on the ticket, she'll be the Veep.

[frylock]

10. hillary who now?

[powergirl]

11. I thought she was still running for president

I thought she wasn't conceding. What happened? :sarcasm:

[Roxy66]

12. I am very angry at Hillary...but, having a V.P runningmate as cut-throat as her is fine with me!

You will be suprised at how fast she will be Barack's Biggest Fan!!

[jenmito]

24. Not if the throat she'd like to cut is Obama's!

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. Dream Ticket Toon from England

[cbayer]

19. Those brits crack me up! nt.

[C_U_L8R]

14. Conceding would be an excellent start

[Kokonoe]

15. She so smart, why doesn't she Know that Obama is not going to

ask her to be VP when she is actively campaigning against his presidency

[Pisces]

16. thanks but no thanks HIllary. You are you own worst enemy.

[Diane R]

17. But, wasn't Obama supposed to be Hillary's running mate?

[jenmito]

21. It was in response to a question.

[slinkerwink]

26. exactly. She responded to a question, and the superdelegate leaked it

[jenmito]

27. Yup.

:hi:

[slinkerwink]

32. I'm not freaking out over this--this is the bargaining phase before the acceptance stage

[jenmito]

37. Or maybe it's the green light for her SD supporters to endorse Obama.

I hope that's it.

[butterfly77]

22. We don't want you Hillary!

GOT THAT!

[cloudbase]

23. I'm open to it, also.

I've got a couple of nice suits, and I know how to behave at funerals. I'd consider the salary a blessing, and I have no aspirations for higher office.

Add that stuff up, and I'm perfect for the job. Ready from day one, baby!

[peacebird]

25. so she can give him the same "support" she gave Kerry in the last pres election?

:eyes:

No thanks Hill.

Obama DESERVES, and CAN DO, *much* better than you.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

28. Something akin to offering a swimmer an anvil.

[lojasmo]

29. Then she'd better FUCKING concede and endorse

Right quick.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. Why should she? She's Hillary! After taking her shit for all this time, he owes her that much.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

31. Context of statement below:

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton has told congressional colleagues she would be open to becoming Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee, saying she would consider it if it would help Democrats win the White House.

Clinton, a New York senator, made the comment on a conference call with other New York lawmakers Tuesday, according a participant on the call.

The senator's remarks came in response to a question from Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez who said she believed the best way for Obama to win over key voting blocs, including Hispanics, would be for him to choose Clinton as his running mate.

"I am open to it," Clinton replied, if it would help the party's prospects in November.

[slinkerwink]

34. I don't see why people are attacking her over this. It's just a statement.

"Consider" is different from "Want" in being VP. And there's the caveat "if it would help Democrats in November." I'm not a Hillary defender, but this is silly.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

36. It is silly.

It was said during a conference call with other New York lawmakers. One of the lawmakers decided to toss it out there to feed the rumor mill. Many of her political supporters have been tossing the idea out wherever they get the chance.

What was she supposed to have said? That she refuses to consider being the VP candidate on Obama's ticket? That would have went over like a Led Zeppelin for sure.

33. Breaking; Patriots willing to share super bowl trophy with Giants...

[moondust]

35. No thank you.

Not a team player.
