Hillary Clinton said she's open to being Obama's VP. On MSNBC

[Auntie Bush]

[Bicoastal]

1. We know, we know...

...I'm not 100% opposed, but it's completely understandable if Obama doesn't want her on the ticket, and hopefully she'll be able to live with that.

[Andy823]

6. I am

100% opposed! After all she has said and done, and the fact that the republicans will use very word she said in adds on TV to show that even his VP running mate doesn't think he is "qualified" to be president, there is no way in hell that she should be his VP, not unless he wants to "LOSE" come November!

[AllexxisF1]

16. She does not deserve shit.

Moreover she completely kills his name brand of CHANGE.


There is no way in hell Obama will pick her as VP.

[Tom Rinaldo]

21. I'm not pushing her, but...

There is no way in hell a presidential ticket with a black man for President and a woman for Vice President does not SCREAM change to most Americans outside of places like this one. Exactly how many blacks and/or women have been elected to either position to date?

[msallied]

23. Change is more than race/gender. There are better women.

[Tom Rinaldo]

29. I chose my words carefully n/t

[Auntie Bush]

34. Like who?

Who can hold a candle to her experience? :shrug:

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

39. Any woman who is/was a governor

Any woman with more than 8 years in the Senate

[Tatiana]

2. Sorry. I am ready to start the campaign to select Wes Clark as VP. n/t

[Hoof Hearted]

30. Sorry, it's - like totally - not. your. decision.

Bummer, huh?

[Tatiana]

49. I'm crushed, but surprisingly not bitter as others posting above me... n/t

[Auntie Bush]

38. That would make me very happy too.

But right now I think Hillary can bring more balance to the ticket....and we can have Wes as SoS or Military adviser...forget what that's called...but he has the know how to get us out of Iraq if anyone does. Too bad he can't make an exception and make him SoD. We need him. Hillary has a machine and money to help in the GE.

[ShortnFiery]

43. Anthony Zinni wouldn't figuatively stab Obama in the back. Clark has been shamelessly shilling.

No way should he even be considered for VP. Wes Clark's *performance* on the talk show circuit has revealed a very selfish political animal. No thanks. :thumbsdown:

[RethugAssKicker]

3. Unfortunately, that might be the only way she gets to being

president..

Hate to say it... but this is America.

[Poll_Blind]

4. She's straight up publicly saying she won't quit unless she gets the VP slot! n/t

PB

[slinkerwink]

7. No, she's not. She asked that question, and she said she would be open

the superdelegate, Ausman, leaked it.

[Andy823]

9. If she don't quite

She will be a disgrace to the party, and her future in politics will be over! If she tries to use threats to the the VP, the same thing will happen. This woman would be the downfall of the party in November if she were to be the VP!

[WA98296]

5. She's trying to control everything. It would be a huge mistake for him.

[Andy823]

13. You bet she is.

And he can not let her bully her way in as the VP. We need to take this country back, make changes, and Hillary is NOT the VP for that. She is everything Obama has been against, and putting her on the ticket makes independents and republicans that would cross over, run like crazy to McCain. Sure he could pick up those really radical supporters of hers that say they will vote for McCain, but he would still lose the election.

Republicans are saying he "has" to pick her to avoid dividing the party because it's their last hope for McCain. Many republicans will stay home in November because they don't like McCain. Many republicans will cross the line because they want real change. Rove knows that if Hillary is on the ticket as VP, all those who would stay home will come out and vote, and all those would cross over will change their minds and vote for McCain so that there would not be a chance that Hillary would be second in line for the office of president!

I totally agree with you. Not only would it be a "HUGE" mistake, it would be the end of any chance for him to win in November.

[Auntie Bush]

14. If the vote is 50/50...why would it be a mistake and why is

that controlling everything? Was John Edwards trying to control everything when he sought the VP? I don't remember anyone accusing him or any other VP of just wanting to control everything. Might you be a little unfair to Hillary? Can't you try to post less bias stuff for the sake of party unity? Isn't it getting to be that time?

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. Candidates for VP will be Vetted- Can Bill Pass the Smell Test?

I think not.

Obama will not pick one on a spur and each candidate will be investigated
and vetted .

[Johonny]

10. it's ok with me

She wouldn't be the first VP that accepted the post after hard feelings in the primaries.

[ShortnFiery]

45. HRC's husband's SHADY connections and money gleaned from foreign governments

would NOT get "The Clintons" vetted for the VP slot. And believe it: We'd be getting BOTH of them in the VP slot.

Asking "The Clintons" to be on the ticket with him would be akin to Obama adopting the Menendez brothers. :scared: :thumbsdown:

[Johonny]

51. The guy won presidency twice

FDR took Truman, Reagen took Bush, Kennedy took Johnson... who is VP is one of the big who cares of the election. People vastly overrate it.

[Botany]

11. 28 years of a bush or a Clinton on the ticket is enough.

Go away Hillary.

[Hoof Hearted]

32. Of all of the possible arguments against, that one is the absolute weakest.

It's like punishing someone for having the middle name Hussein.

[Maribelle]

12. If Hillary is the VP nominee, then Hillary supporters can sing her praises forever

and the hate mongering against her here on DU will immediately stop.

[hokies4ever]

17. Until Bill screws up on the campaign trail

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

42. I'm sure Obama is taking that into consideration n/t

:crazy:

[saracat]

15. Of course MSNBC. Of course. The new FOX

[hokies4ever]

19. It's being reported on Clinton News Network too

So shove your attitude away.

[saracat]

24. Just Like the AP issues two false concession reports that had to be formally denied by the Clinton

Campaign? MSM sucks.

[hokies4ever]

25. Why is she open to V.P. if she's in it to win it?

[Maribelle]

22. Both your post and the 'of course msnbc' are confusing. Both CNN and MSNBC are biased to Obama.

[hokies4ever]

26. The facts are biased against Hillary

and they're just reporting on the facts. :rofl:

[redqueen]

18. Good God. (nt)

[Auntie Bush]

20. Just reported that Hillary said...IF the VP was offered to her...she's consider it.

Just on MSNBC.

[Blue_Roses]

27. God--will this EVER FUCKING END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

:banghead:

[Hoof Hearted]

28. It's the only way IN HELL I will ever vote for him. Not a dime, not a minute of my time without her

period.

[faithfulcitizen]

31. wow. good for you Harriet.

[Maribelle]

33. Many Democrats feel as you do

:toast:

[rodeodance]

36. I am with yah hoof-hearted.

[hokies4ever]

37. I refuse to be held hostage by Hillary supporters demanding appeasement

You're part of the static America Obama warned me about in his race speech. Please stand aside while the rest of us pick up your slack and move this country forward.

[Maribelle]

41. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[ShortnFiery]

46. Then make an exit plan because HRC will NOT be on the ticket.

Take that to the BANK! ;)

[Hoof Hearted]

47. Cool. You must have tonights lotto numbers too.

[Maribelle]

48. Exit plan? Hillary supporters will keep their Hillary avatars, and post all kinds of things.

A type of symbolic statement, as if they might be saying to the folks that belong back in the schoolyard: 'big fat bullies don't scare me'.

[nebula]

35. I can't believe she has the nerve to even suggest it

[Maribelle]

44. She didn't suggest it.

She was asked if was a consideration on a conference call with her NY delegation.

[ShortnFiery]

40. NO WAY! :( eom

[dansolo]

50. No she isn't

She knows that Obama won't consider her, and if he did, she (and Bill) would never subject themselves to a full vetting. This is more crap manipulation so that they can keep her supporters enraged when Obama eventually "disses" her for not picking her to be his VP.
