What WILL you do if Hillary Clinton is Obama's VP?

[MoonRiver]

[MadBadger]

1. I'll support Obama

[NorthAmerican]

2. I don't love it or hate it, but I'd still vote for it. n/t

[femmocrat]

3. I'll be very upset... and then I will hold my nose in November and vote

straight democratic ticket like I always do.

[MikeNearMcChord]

4. Simple answer, I am voting for Obama, no matter who is the VP

Republicans are not an option. Hillary is fine with me.

[GodlessBiker]

8. I'm with ya. I trust Obama's judgment. He can pick who he likes.

[jillan]

5. I love Hillary but don't want to see her as Veep.

I feel her talents would be wasted as veep.

I'd like to see her as head of Health and Education or on the Supreme Court.

Of course I would vote for the ticket.

[StevieM]

39. No Senator would leave the Senate for HHS. I love Hillary but wouldn't want her on the Court--

we need younger justices who can last 30 years.

Steve

[Chloroplast]

54. Hillary is still too much of a draw to play second fiddle...

I'd love for her to have a Cabinet position and carve out her own personal legacy. I'd have to do some soul searching before I voted for an Obama/Clinton/Clinton ticket.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. It's a deal breaker for me.

[RBInMaine]

10. C'mon. There are some pros to her: i.e. 18 million votes, women, working class, and Hispanics.

She is strong with many constituencies and will energize them. She would be a reasonable pick.

[DrDan]

29. perhaps it is the top of the ticket s/he objects to , , ,

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. Nope. I object to a Clinton getting close to the presidency again.

[DrDan]

36. so - just out of curiosity - how do you feel about someone

who may support Hillary - but objects to Barack?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

64. It's their choice. It's their vote.

[DrDan]

28. so you would vote for mccain?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

33. No. Neither McCain or Clinton.

[invictus]

57. Same here. I could never vote for someone who stooped as low as Hillary. n/t

[cali]

7. I neither hate it or love it. Interesting that you see things in such

black and white terms. It's fine with me if Hillary's on the ticket.

[lojasmo]

9. I'm voting for Obama.

[Moochy]

11. What will you do when she's not?

Probably the more germane question.

I'll happily vote for both, btw

[MoonRiver]

13. Start your own poll and find out!

:hi:

[Moochy]

17. I already used my 3 posts today

:( I need to plan better. Is there a site where I could go to plan my 3 posts on DU with other like minded DU'ers?

[MoonRiver]

18. Oh noes!

:cry: But tomorrow IS another day! :)

[PBS Poll-435]

19. At least the first half of it....

37. Thanks for posting the link!

:hi:

[Moochy]

40. I did not know that the site was unmentionable

:shrug:

lets try that again:

http://capitalhillforum.com/index/

on edit fixed the link to the hate site.

[BlackVelvet04]

45. although that link will work it's actually

spelled incorrectly. Thanks for the advertisement. Want to buy one of our t-shirts?

[Moochy]

46. Oh I bet the Hillary Schwag is 75% off!

Keep plotting... and scheming with your zombie pals. How goes that plan to challenge Kerry's seat with a write-in campaign? How are all the ex-duers? you going to stick around after tombstone time tomorrow? working to undermine the democratic candidate?

zombie pals... :think: ...does that make you a necromancer?

http://capitalhillforum.com/index/ Thats the real link to your hate site.

[BlackVelvet04]

48. Actually it's not Hillary stuff...

bless your little heart...dissension really scares you, doesn't it?

thanks for advertising for us...at least you got it right this time.

[Moochy]

49. Hey I dont have a problem linking to your site

You don't embed cialis links like Tellurian does right?

I saw your merchandise page, you are right, there's no hillary stuff there.

My favorite part of your forum is the threads where you bitch about DU and call everyone names. Thats the best!

[BlackVelvet04]

52. Sure is. n/t

[MaraJade]

58. Checked the site. . .

Not really a hate site. Just a site full of disappointed and angry people. I can understand their
feelings, especially since their feelings are completely discounted and ignored here and by the
DNC.

Does anyone at all remember what it felt like in 2000 and again in 2004 when the current pResident
was selected for the office?

When people feel that they have been slighted, railroaded and treated unfairly, they get angry. They get even
angrier when the persons abusing them tell them to "get over it." Insult has
been added to injury by dems who are GLOATING over Obama's selection as nominee. When people's answer to
your unhappiness is to tell you to "get the fuck out" (happened to me here on DU), some people actually do
"get out" and they start a protest movement. No surprise. Not wrong and not illegal.

This is America, and people have the right to protest, guaranteed by the Constitution.

[Zhade]

61. It's a flat-out lie to say the DNC ignored them. The DNC tried to effect SEVERAL compromises.

The pro-clinton fools in FL and MI turned them down.

[MaraJade]

73. Let me see. . .

One-half vote per delegate was the compromise? That was worse than the value accorded
a slave in the Dred Scott decision.

[Moochy]

62. Sorry that people said that to you

Thats not right.

I felt horrible in 2000, and 2004. I felt bad when Edwards dropped out. I supported him as my #1 choice, then Hillary then Obama, in order of preference, despite my disgust with Hillary's IWR vote, I supported her, because I thought she had the best chance. I have empathy for the loss you all are feeling, her loyal supporters, I know how you feel. However I'm not very sympathetic, since I turned around and went to the next candidate on my list once Edwards dropped out. Then a lot of stuff happened that made me reconsider Obama.

Please stick around and support the nominee! Who knows who will be VP? I look forward to more unifying speeches from Hillary. She made me stand up and clap when she spoke the words "yes we can." Much was forgiven, and some was forgotten in her strongest symbolic act of unity to date. I know it was hard for her.

If you can't support the nominee then fare thee well, its not personal, its just a private websites terms of service.

:hi:

[JVS]

77. GET OVER IT!

[Moochy]

24. Yes be careful tomorrow.

Make sure all your hillclintonforum hillzombies have their flesh suits on!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

31. if she's not, then I will step down from the "Food Tasters for Obama" cabinet position

and breath a sigh of relief.

[PBS Poll-435]

12. I will streak through my neighborhood

Wearing nothing but a smile and a Hillary sticker on my forehead.

[XtraProudDem]

14. These are crappy choices...

Everything in this poll is either LOVE or HATE.

How about this choice:

I like both Obama and Clinton and will vote for the ticket.

[MoonRiver]

16. Hey! That's option #!!

Did you vote?

[XtraProudDem]

53. I voted option one...

But you could have left "excitedly" out.

[blondeatlast]

15. Accept his choice and vote the ticket. Sheesh. nt

[Adelante]

20. I'm voting for Obama

His VP is his choice and doesn't affect my voting.

[rpannier]

22. Vote for Obama

That's who I'm voting for in November.

Unless he picks LIEberman, hell miller or ed koch I will have no trouble voting for him.

[newmajority]

23. Hold my nose while voting, projectile vomit after voting....

....and then make sure that I am appointed the head of the Secret Service so I can personally assure that what happened after the so called "unity tickets" of 1960 and 1980 does not happen again.

[hokies4ever]

25. Buy some ice skates to play over a frozen hell

:rofl:

[Phoonzang]

26. I'd think it was a bad decision, but whatever.

I'm still going to vote for the Democrat.

[CakeGrrl]

27. Vote for Obama, but lose respect for his decision-making

And I will refuse to watch ANY media coverage of the election because it will be a Right-Wing wet dream for them to run against her and I still have Clinton fatigue from the last go-round. I hear Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones are all ready to resurface.

:puke:

[MaraJade]

72. So Flowers and Jones were

Hillary's fault? I don't understand what you are saying. Please elaborate on this and tell me
what Hillary had to do with them.

I mean seriously. I don't understand.

[Hippo_Tron]

30. Honestly I really just don't care all that much who the Vice President is

It should be someone who is fully prepared to take over if something were to happen as well as someone who can help Senator Obama get elected. If he feels that Hillary is the best person for the job he should pick her.

[scarletwoman]

34. "Other" She won't be, so I don't bother worrying about it. (nt)

[swishyfeet]

35. Not my fav, but I don't hate it.

[MonkeyFunk]

38. laugh my ass off

[hokies4ever]

51. Losing the general election might be funny to you, but not to most real Dems

[MonkeyFunk]

55. She'd help him win it

don't be daft.

[hokies4ever]

65. The ticket would:

-Lack real executive experience. When was the last successful senator-senator ticket? I know when the last unsucessful one was, and so do you, because it happened in the last election. There's a reason why governors are voted disproportionately as President. McCain would surely just choose a governor for V.P. and hold press conferences laughing at the lack of executive experience on the ticket.

-Accumulate their negatives. This has been mentioned by political heavyweights from Jimmy Carter to Ed Rendell, so hard to claim a Hillary bias on this argument.

-Questionable foreign policy credentials. Especially important since this is what the Republicans will be trying to force to the forefront this election and Bush's current apparent plan to attack Iran won't help either. Governor Sebelius is one of my favorites for V.P., yet it's clear that this reason will definitely hurt her chances as well.

-Which state will she bring along? The answer isn't clear. Perhaps you could argue a wide appeal, but if you're selecting a V.P. based solely on geographical electability, there are better choices from various swing states.

-"Will Obama cave in to demands from Ahmadinejad like he did to Hillary Clinton? If he can't stand up to Hillary, how can we trust him to stand up to America's interests in the Middle East?" I guarantee that commercial is already in the pipeline just in case he does choose Hillary. Hillary and her surrogates have hurt her V.P. chances by overplaying their hand. They're making it so that he looks weak and caved into pressure if he chooses her now. Bubba should have thought about this beforehand.

That's enough reasons for now. I could easily come up with a lot more. I haven't even touched her debt-ridden primary campaign. A debt that Obama might be wise not to assume.

[IndianaGreen]

41. I will support whoever Obama wants on his ticket

but I suspect the Clintons can not pass the vetting process, particularly Bill.

[anonymous171]

42. Scream for an hour then get over it.

[toadzilla]

43. for anyone who this is a deal breaker issue, clearly does not care about the issues.

their platforms have always been, and still are pretty much the same.

[TexasProgresive]

44. I am a member of the Democratic party and I

will vote for the party ticket, period. What's not to get?

[WeDidIt]

47. Honestly? I think it would be a good choice

Had there been no talk of her being Veep from the close campaign surrogates, I think the process would have been a quick one.

As it is, it will take a ong time, and the longer it takes the more likely it will be Hillary.

[Jed Dilligan]

50. I think it would be a bad decision electorally but I would vote for that ticket

without reservations about their performance once elected.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

56. I love Obama - but if he were to pick her it would make me pause

and think - he's not as smart as I think he is. Don't know what I would do

[Zhade]

59. Wake up from the nightmare.

Obama's not stupid - he won't let mcLame easily prove clinton a liar via the Tuzla video.

Nor will he let the old bat undercut the ticket with clinton's endorsement of him over Obama.

[Heather MC]

60. I would vote against McCain, not for the Obama/Clinton ticket

Obama would get my vote, but Hillary can't be trusted

[MercutioATC]

63. I'd ironically laugh at our repeated attempts to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Then, I'd hold my nose and vote for the ticket.

Then, I'd (hopefully) realize that there are just too many idiots in this country for things to ever change and I'd become apolitical until I leave in 8 years.

[DesertRat]

66. Other: I don't love or hate it but will vote Democratic in Nov. n/t

[ToeBot]

67. My vote doesn't count, what difference does it make? nt

[Colobo]

68. I'll gladly vote for it.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

69. I hope that the 10 (so far) people who won't vote for the ticket if Clinton is on

aren't the same ones who are demonizing Clinton supporters for voting for McCain becasue they are doing the same exact thing....

[Indenturedebtor]

71. Seriously that's inexcusable

All of my excitement about his campaign, message, and presidency would pretty much evaporate.

But I'm old enough to see past my own ego and to actually do what's right for America and the Planet.

I'm not going to lay in a puddle of my own tears and curse the world like a 3 year old on a temper tantrum while the Pukes work towards apocalypse.

[Beacool]

70. I would actually hold my nose and vote for Obama. n/t

[MrSlayer]

74. I'll seriously be questioning Obama's commitment to change.

And his good judgment.

I'll vote for it but my expectations will be lowered by a few degrees and they weren't all that high to begin with.

[Asgaya Dihi]

75. Not sure

I'm torn on that one. I'd have voted for either one of them at the top of the ticket assuming they won clean rather than swift boating their way into it but these two had such a hostile primary and seemed to respect each other so little that I don't think it would be a good idea. He's got his own plans and she shows little interest in taking a back seat to or stopping for anyone once she decides to do something so what I'd really expect of the ticket is four years of internal conflicts, power struggles, not so well hidden arguments and comments from either "camp". All of that probably followed by another repub administration since the public would quickly tire of the drama and want a change from us again.

What's the real choice there? Vote them in and we might get a Supreme Court seat or two which would be great but we'd also hand the repubs the office in just a few years and set ourselves back at least 8 to 12 years before we had another chance at real change in the nation. Stay home and lose and we might lose a court seat or two but we'd have just four years until we could try real change again instead of having to wait another 8 or 12. We're screwed either way, I really don't want to see her on the ticket. Her alone and winning clean, fine. Him with almost anyone else, fine. The two of them together? We're asking for trouble.

[JVS]

76. I think that if it were going to happen they'd have announced something by now.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

78. I don't vote in American elections, so "other".

I think it would be a mistake for Obama to pick Clinton as a running mate - she'd bring out too many voters for McCain - but if I were allowed to I'd have no problems voting for him whether or not he did - I think Clinton would make an excellent VP, just a lousy candidate.

[Prophet 451]

79. I'm closest to option 2

It's not that I hate the ticket but I would have some deep concerns about it.

That said, I'm not allowed to vote in your elections (being British).

[musicblind]

80. I am very reassured that only 17 people out of the MANY who replied

on DU (a very anti Clinton forum to start with) are willing to vote the ticket regaurdless to bring about our much needed change change... awesome!
