Obama Campaign: Clinton Unlikely as No. 2

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Sen. Hillary Clinton, who refused to concede after Sen. Barack Obama claimed the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, will do so Saturday, two top advisers said. Close supporters suggested she would like to be his running mate, on a unity ticket.

But close advisers to Sen. Obama signaled an Obama-Clinton ticket was highly unlikely. People in both camps cited what several called "a deal-breaker" -- Bill Clinton may balk at releasing records of his business dealings and big donors to his presidential library.

1. WTF? Saturday? Some people called it.

when they said Friday after news deadlines. They REALLLLY can't stand a public concession. Sad, people. reallllly sad. and I was really rooting for them to start rehabilitating their reputations last night.

3. I noticed that too

and also thought :wtf:

Looks like Tuesday turned into Friday which turned into Saturday. Before you know it, Clinton won't concede until December!

4. Apparently

She will hold a private event Friday to concede and endorse Obama and a public event Saturday.

2. Pretty unlikely the Obama cult will stop the hatefest, though.

Why stop the noise when that's been their campaign all along?

6. BRAINS!! BRAINS FOR OBAMA!!!!

Hatefest would be an awesome name for a deathmetal band. In the context of your use, its kinda dumb, however.

[Forkboy]

We have a Hate Eternal...close enough.

:)

14. YES!

I'm almost certain that Hatefest is, in fact, a deathmetal band.

Time to google...

12. "Obama cult hatefest"??

He's not the one who publicly pinned his campaign hopes on the potential of an opponent's assassination.

He'd be insane to pick her. She's demonstrated that she is a sociopath. Get in the way of her quest for power and no measure of retaliation is too extreme.

15. Careful whenever I suggest this they pull my post

Fear not I will not alert you, I agree with you

[notesdev]

17. I don't see how it can be disputed

She said it on national TV... everyone has seen the video. There's really no other way to interpret it than as an admission that she was (benefit of doubt granted) hoping for Obama to be killed so she could be the nominee, or (benefit of doubt not granted) considering acting to make it happen.

IMO that comment should have put a permanent end to her political career. America has no place for a politician who would wish her opponents' untimely end. That she actually put voice to the thought... whoah.

18. There were several things she said that should have ended her career!

Time will tell, but considering this is the FIRST Campaign the Clintons have ever lost personally
Her Career has ended!
And she certainly knocked herself out of the chance of getting the VP with thoughts like that

21. correction

Bill Clinton lost once in a race for Arkansas governor, then came back to win the office again.

16. Pretty unlikely to stop the hate when you keep refering to Obama supporters

as a cult.

5. Shocked-Obama close advisers say no to Clinton VP-Guess brave Obama continues smear by staff

[muryan]

8. How is that a smear?

"Bill unlikely to release donor records"

Honestly, are we speaking the same language? Its a perfectly legitimate point considering how the republicans will dig into anything they can, its not a smear.

11. Watching you squirm is very satisfying.

23. I'm surprised you haven't had one of those asinine "if she wants it, she'll take it" posts yet.
