1. I guess "NOT's" aren't too anxious for Democratic unity.
Democrats are going to have to put this stupid, childish, divisive shit behind them, or else face losing the election come fall.

3. There is no unity possible between Democrats and the DLC
Their agenda has damaged this country as much as the Bush Crime Family has.

We are done with BOTH.

4. Unity means *everyone* working to do what's best for the Democratic Party
Not just the novelty of seeing Hillary Clinton in the VP slot. Character, words and deeds matter.

13. And 'FORs' don't get to define 'unity' for everyone else.
If you think it's a good idea that's fine. But trying to use emotional blackmail isn't going to get you too far.

16. Here is a link to some truly horrific emotional blackmail

Try not to let it traumatize you too much. :eyes:

2. He should do what he thinks is right.
His instincts and his staff have taken him farther than most of us could have imagined. If he thinks that HRC is the best person for the VP slot, I will trust him and put my personal reservations aside.

5. Change We Can't Believe In
Clinton as VP is the antithesis of change.

Better get a new slogan is he selects her.

8. There are other more deserving candidates than HRC for VP.
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 02:59 PM by curious one
She is trying to force herself on Obama. This is crazy. After RFK comment, she is the last VP candidate.

This is the time that she can put the party first. So far it has been all about her not the party.

12. yep, just wanted to take a poll
I'f afraid that most of Hillary's criticism of Obama would be used
by the right wing, in fact played back by the right wing over and
over.

Imagine the GOP commercials with Hillary Clinton attacking Obama -
"he just gave a speech"....
