Sorry but I actually would like to see Hillary as the VP

[BigD_95]

Im a Obama supporter and will support whoever he chooses for the VP spot but I would like to have the 1st Black President & the 1st women VP.

Lets not forget that Obama isnt the best at attacking with those little headline attacks. Hillary is a perfect person to attack McSame while Obama stays above it. Unlike Edwards & Joe Lieberman; she will go after McSame. Also when she talks she will get headlines because how popular she is.


Hillary also would never lose a debate unlike Edwards & Joe Lieberman. She will actually blow away McSames VP pick.

Its something to think about.

1. Kicekd and recced from another Obama supporter

[scheming daemons]

2. You see the ads the GOP is ALREADY running? The ones with HILLARY'S words against Obama being used?

That's why it cannot happen.

[bicentennial_baby]

5. Thank you!

She kinda screwed that up...Crossed the line, and now it can't happen. If we want to win, that is.

[Growler]

8. yup

n/t

[grantcart]

20. well actually that is a reason to use it - no one will be able to tear them apart more

effectively than her.

[PoliticalAmazon]

21. Hillary is everything Obama says he will work against. She would doom...

his campaign and his administration.

[enid602]

25. arguments

I'm afraid they'd be using the Obama arguments against Hillary had she been the nominee.

[TBF]

30. But they wouldn't have nearly as much ammunition. For example, Obama

never put out an ad indicating he and McCain were the only ones who could run the country. For that tactic alone she should be disqualified.

[enid602]

37. no TV spots

Well, I don't think Team Obama has used TV spots as a vehicle for its criticism of Clinton. I think Obama prefers a more indirect approach, directing his supporters to develop arguments on the internet that Clinton was responsible for NAFTA, outsourcing, the death of Affirmative Action, Welfare Reform, the War in Iraq, etc. Whereas the Republicans might not necessarily pick up these themes, they might instead prefer the Team Obama arguments that she is reckless, desperate, not transparent with regard to her campaign finance/personal finances, etc.

3. Then you better have a look at this thread, might change your mind....

11. Well, Daddy Bush called Reagan's policies "Voodoo Economics" and see what happened.

[GodlessBiker]

4. This Obama supporter was against it before he was for it. I think I'm for it now.

I just don't know. :shrug:

[BeyondGeography]

15. Barack will figure it out

No sense tying ourselves up in knots in the meantime.

That's my approach at least.

[GodlessBiker]

19. Sounds good to me. I'll go with who he picks.

[PoliticalAmazon]

26. Obama choosing Hillary as his second would be like the Dalai Lama choosing...

Idi Amin.

[maxsolomon]

6. hillary = swing voter loss

just confirmed with my reagan democrat parents. HRC on the ticket makes BHO weaker.

[BlooInBloo]

7. I hope you don't take disappointment too hard, then.

[movonne]

9. never, never, never...bad idea...

[cynatnite]

10. IMO, it'd be a great ticket...

one that would set new ground and I really hope it happens.

Can you imagine how McCain's ticket would look compared? Two old white guys vs. Obama/Clinton. The Dems would win easily, IMO.

Don't know if it'll happen and if it doesn't, I'll be cheering on whoever he picks. I'll still keep my fingers crossed, though. :)

[IsItJustMe]

12. That's just insane. If that would happen, you will be seeing that commercial of Hillary saying

McCain had the experiecnt to be POTUS and Obama didn't over and over and over again. She killed any chance of her being the VP when she said that.

I don't think Obama is into suicide.

[Window]

38. They are already using it. See the link in post #3 by LakeSamish.

I know they would have used it anyway.

[Meshuga]

13. How can she accept the VP position

when the has said so many negative things about Obama on record? Republicans already have a video compilation going around.

[harun]

28. Her not being VP wouldn't stop them from using that anyway

She will keep the Repub's so busy with attacks they won't have time to attack Obama.

[redqueen]

14. Not me.

Pass!

[Bensthename]

16. But that would mean no white man on the ticket. Is that possible?

LOL, that would drive the rePubes crazy.. Obama should put her on the ticket.. If every one that has voted for him and her votes for them in the gen election dems would win for sure.

[ram2008]

17. Obama-Rodham!

I'd support an Obama-Rodham ticket. Hillary really needs to get rid of Bill, I wouldn't want him anywhere near the vice presidency, his ego is way too big.

[Yotun]

18. After she used the popular vote argument, no. I could accept it before that, but I'm not going with

somebody who promotes electoral fraud for her benefit. Democracy is NOT something to be played with and deconstructed.

[TeamsterDem]

22. Me too, and I also supported Obama in the primary. n/t

[bluestateguy]

23. Obama and Clinton would have to spend weeks explaining their past criticisms of each other

The bobblehead/bimbo news media would harass them with old quotes they made attacking each other during the primary season. It would be like Tim Russert's wet dream, as half of his show consists of him dredging up old quotes and playing gotcha games with his guests.

[billyoc]

24. She's a downticket apocalypse. Think it over, there are scores of qualified women

who aren't hated by more than half the country.

[harun]

29. I don't respect any of them though. I am about as anti-Hillary as they

come in terms of Pres. but the respect I have for her says she should get the VP spot.

[TBF]

34. Why would you support her for VP but not president?

For that matter I can't figure out why Hillary wants to be VP to the person she decided was not as qualified to run the country as she and John McCain. She is not the right choice.

[ananda]

27. I have to say..

.. she's shown she's a fighter, and
tenacious. Not bad.

[damntexdem]

31. I'm sorry that you would, too.

I'd be more worried about the four years after the election.

[dawgman]

32. She has REALLY bothereed me at times and I completely agree

with you.

She would be the perfect attack dog while allowing BO to stand above the fray.

I would love to listen to her hammerdunk Johnny Boy repeatedly.

[Chipper Chat]

33. Stack up Hillary against Jim webb....

and I would pick Webb. He's proven he will take no crap from any republican and is more than qualified to be the attack dog.

[TBF]

36. Yes, that is a great point. I hope Obama takes his time and feels no pressure on the pick.

There are many very qualified politicians out there, not to mention the other former candidates. I could make an argument for Richardson, Edwards, and maybe even Kucinich (hey, I like the guy!). How about Howard Dean? He's shown great strength under pressure. Runner-up does not automatically become the VP. Obama needs to sit down and look at this objectively.

And Webb's great too - swing state and I love the military experience. Wesley Clark, the list to consider is long.

[shaniqua6392]

35. I agree and I think it is going to happen.

She is an excellent debater, too. Just imagine her up against Romney or some of the others that McCain may choose. I know the idea may make some DU'ers heads explode, but the thought of a joint ticket is a good idea. The polling shows that it would be a good idea and would excite voters. We would be seen as a more progressive nation around the world with that dream team. Obama will wait though so it does not look like he was pushed into it. Plus, a few days of celebration before he picks his VP is well deserved by his supporters.
