Top Headlines: Obama Wins Nomination . Bill Clinton & Gershon . Clinton wants VP
NO. Please call the Obama campaign at 1-866-675-2008. They are taking calls now and want to hear from you. NO! We do not need a scandal anchor. We have enough to deal with. She IS NOT about change. She is TOXIC. If you agree, PLEASE call.

3. It's surreal .. she's asking to be on the ticket while
her husband is in a media scandal which would only escalate if she is!!!
These people are addicted to DRAMA, plain and simple. There is no hint of adult decision making.

4. Two more words
NO WAY!

Obama has run his race on change, Hillary has run her race with money from the "good old boys" in D.C. We need a VP that helps show the country he is going for "real" change, Hillary is NOT that parson!

He'd be lucky to have her; probably the only way for him to win the election.

11. Only if she's been vetted FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS ...
No more of this "all my baggage has been rummaged through"
garbage -- And if it's not Bill's PERSONAL behavior that's
problematic, what about the business dealings with Giustra
in Kazakhstan? Or lobbying on behalf of the Colombia Free
Trade deal? Or lobbying for the Dubai Ports World deal?
But WAIT, there's MORE!

16. It was never just personal baggage with Bill, that's the problem.
He and Hillary are both crooked SOBs and have been for decades. It's only the sex they were able to pin on him because it's the only thing that would stick with our prudish general public.

14. That's the kind of idiocy that said small donors wouldn't make a difference in a political campaign.

27. yeah really...
as if 'we' had nothing to do with this. As if our nominee hasn't freaked out the political and media world. A funny thing happened on the way to the nomination.

15. David Gergen nailed it with saying "what does she want to extort"
Just on Wolf's show on CNN. He apologized, but he was in fact correct.

It would be a form of extortion for Obama to have to hand her the VP nomination. It would be a horrible decision and I would seriously question whether I should continue doing grassroots work for Obama if that happens.

We have to keep this change pure. Bringing the Clintons in (it would be both in there if she is the VP nominee) would be handing the election over to the Repigs.

18. Agreed.
And I think the majority of his supporters agree. I'm an Independent from Texas. I won't be able to vote for a combined ticket. It's not what I signed up for.

22. I called. Gave them my name and the amounts I'd donated
explaining I never worked so hard for a politician before and that Hillary on the ticket is totally unacceptable.

23. I called. They didn't ask for money. They DO want suggestions!
Press (6) after the recorded message....

I mentioned that Jim Webb and Kathleen Sibellius
would bring more to the ticket than Hillary.

26. You pressed 6? I only got "press 1 for voting issues" and then it switched to Spanish
so I pressed one and spoke with a delightful young lady. The first thing I did was congratulate her, US. She said they've been getting a LOT of calls from supporters saying no to the idea of Hillary for VP.
