Andrea Mitchell: Hillary Wants Her Name On the Ballot as VP for Denver Convention Roll Call Vote!

[oldpol]

just said it on the Today Show

[JimGinPA]

1. Another Gem From "Scoop" Mitchell

:rofl:

[high density]

7. She's like a tabloid these days

I can't believe how much garbage she has put out in the last week.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

33. So Bigfoot won't be placing her name in nomination?

:eyes:

[blonndee]

2. NOOOOOOOOO

I hate to say it, but I bet she just wants it on there to force Obama to reject her, thereby riling up the 28-percenters. :mad:

[oldpol]

29. her arguement would be that it didn't hurt Jack Kennedy in 1956 when he fought for the veep slot

but a floor fight after the longest campaign in history just seems too much

[EFerrari]

3. Hillary sure has a lot of wants. n/t

[mystieus]

4. This only means she suspended her campaign. Edwards did the same... pretty much everyone does it

[EFerrari]

9. No -- if this is true, she wants her name on the ballot as VP. n/t

[GarbagemanLB]

5. She has a lot of fucking nerve. It is historically the right of the nominee to choose the VP.

[oldpol]

11. exactly, maybe she thinks she earned the right for a roll call vote as veep

shades of 1956? (where Kennedy lost the veep vote)

[AllexxisF1]

6. She can...

She can write her name on my ass in magic marker and it would be just as significant.


He gets to pick...period.

[K Gardner]

8. Good luck with that. She's playing checkers and Obama is playing chess. She will be

soundly checkmated from here on out.

[oldpol]

15. i'm guessing this is a committee matter that she will get aced out on

although the vote could be close

[Mme. Defarge]

36. It's the endgame,

the white queen has been taken, and there is one white pawn left and heading across the board.

[oldpol]

37. could she use all of her delegates to swing the veep vote?

I guess it depends who O nominates, but it is within the real of possibility

[WeDidIt]

10. She'd better submit to the full vetting, then

Because I can guarantee you, whomsoever comes out of Obama's vetting process WILL BE THE VEEP, regardless.

[oldpol]

20. this is probably big dogs way of getting around the process

will he get vetted before the committee process instead?

[WeDidIt]

28. IF eh won't submit a donor list, she won't be the veep

It's that simple.

The convention will not go against the nominee on this.

That's why he introduced the vetting process.

Hillary would be fine, so long as she's fully vetted by the campaign.

[oldpol]

41. HRC has got a lot of delegates, she could come close to getting this passed

that's what makes O's veep selection important

[rodeodance]

12. and you believe make up a story for sensation Andrea?? silly you.

[MadBadger]

13. Since when is the Today show on at 12:19 PM?

[yourguide]

18. when it's 9:19am on the west coast?

[uponit7771]

14. Bill wont give up the donor list for his library, that's a deal breaker for Obama VP list. She's don

[oldpol]

22. HRC will say it's 'up for the convention to decide' whether the vetting process is fair

or whether it should be there at all

[Poll_Blind]

16. Ha ha, Senator Clinton you magnificent CRAZY FUCK!

  She reminds me of Dennis Hopper's character from Texas Chainsaw Massacre III.

PB

[AngryOldDem]

17. And I want a pony. n/t

[monmouth]

27. And I want my unwrinkled neck back, ain't gonna happen!....n/t

[Jersey Devil]

19. oops - misread the OP - self deleted

[EFerrari]

23. Maybe I just don't understand what she's asking for. n/t

[oldpol]

24. the media might spin it into a show of party 'disunity' if there is a floor fight for veep

my guess is that HRC will have a tough time even getting the vote to the floor

[Jersey Devil]

25. Sorry, misread the OP, didn't realize it was "VP"

I had been posting in another thread about placing her name in nomination for president and confused the strings.

[oldpol]

42. okey dokey!

i saw that one earlier this morning, it was easy to get them confused

[cap]

26. why not, indeed

You are absolutely right. I think this whole anti-Hillary sentiment is a desire to see her humiliated. These people want her on the floor... Obama won the nomination. Hillary won't run on the ticket. So what's the point of continuing the screed?

She wants certain things and is willing to play hard ball to get them. So what's the problem? Obama will win in November. Why does Obama need her endorsement?

[Madam Mossfern]

31. Then she's not a quick learner

where has playing hardball gotten her so far?

Old adage: You attract more flies with honey, than you do with vinegar.

[oldpol]

34. is it really 'hardball' to put her name up for a veep voe, this used to happen all the time

before the conventions became pre-produced and processed to the second

[cap]

43. exactly... we used to look forward to seeing the conventions

because stuff really happened there. Now, it has become a scripted TV event and the ratings have dropped. Why? Nothing happens.

I say, let Hillary stay in till the end. Better ratings for the show... more enthusiasm for the party.

[Hepburn]

21. ...

...:grr: NO WAY!!!!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

32. Simmer down. I don't think it's true...

Ask yourself, "Why would Hillary want herself on the ballot if she's not interested in the job and not going to win it? Why would she intentionally cast herself as a loser at the convention?"

I think Andrea has taken to interviewing homeless derelicts and then passing it off as "inside information."

Two nights ago, she was on the MSNBC Election Coverage saying that Obama and Clinton had a secret meeting set for today. KO wondered aloud, "Why would they have a 'secret meeting' and then let people know about it?" Mitchell got this smug look on her face and informed Keith that this wasn't information that they "let people know" -- it was her investigation that unearthed the information.

No Meeting.

Andrea Mitchell is an idiot.

[Renew Deal]

30. Ummm, no

Sorry

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

35. If you do not open this door, we shall take this castle by force!

[eleny]

38. I'm taking this with a grain of salt

[MadBadger]

39. I dont think you're right

I heard that she wanted her name on the ballot for President (I guess to show her power).

[oldpol]

40. I listened very closely (even though it was early) Andrea said VP

why whould she put her name on the ballot for POTUS if she is conceding Saturday?
