I would consider a VP offer from Obama if asked.

Just so everyone knows.

1. I suppose I could pencil it in if he asks. Assuming it's not laundry day.

[Catherina]

2. Gotcha beat. I already accepted the VP offer!

Axelrod called me this morning and I humbly accepted. Boy are you guys in trouble :P

[rurallib]

3. Good. Heard he was going to ask you to be McCain's VEEP candidate

if you're going to eff up a campaign, it might as well be McBushie's.
:evilgrin:

[rucky]

4. We can't afford to lose another seat in the Lounge. n/t

[Mz Pip]

5. Me, too

I'd be a whole lot better than Cheney, that's for sure.

[RazBerryBeret]

6. hmmm... I think I'd have to

check out that "undisclosed location" first---see what it's really like.

but yeah, I'd consider it!!!

[highplainsdem]

7. Good! Then we could have a "Vero Hedgehogus" VP slogan to go with "Vero Possumus."

:)

8. Ooooh, me too, me too, if hippie 35 (well, 36 on election day)

year-old, atheist working-class blogging internet supah-jeniuses are the way he wants to go.

Benefits of a vixengrl Vice-Presidency?


I are smart. I have an English Lit degree from an accredited university and speak pretty good when I recall that not everybody speaks Philadelphian.

I also know a little Spanish and Italian, but not enough to actually speak publically and embarrass myself, but enough to know what people are talking about, and I totally know some French, too. And Russian curse words. So I would be a great emissary abroad. I can do funerals without my make-up running because I don't really wear much, and I look great in black. I am also really diplomatic, because I have worked in customer service positions my whole adult life (see: English Lit. Degree.) I also have pretty serious biceps, because I have lifted weights and copy-paper cartons. Even though I am what you'd call "of size." That means I'd balance the ticket--Barack: African American, male, skinny, me, white, female--sizeish.

I give excellent interview. Most interviewers seem to want you to talk about yourself, and I can definitely do that. Endlessly. It's one of my favorite topics. Oh my figuratively-speaking God! I am totally talking about me right now! I also can bring the funny, if required. And like, intentionally, not in a Dan-Quayle funny because he's lame way. I'd be totally funny on purpose, unless something sad happened. And then I'd wear black. Which I look good in.

VP's are kind of supposed to defend policy and respond to smack talked about the president. I can do that thing. They couldn't stop me either. I'd have Secret Service guys holding me back while they're all like, "Vixengrl, no you don't," and I'd be all like, "Yes I can," and they'd be like, "We can't stop her," and I'd be all like, "See, you made me go and respond to your foolishness," and then it would be on. And I would dominate because my position would have been thought out days ahead of time, because I am always thinking. I do that.

I also shake hands well. Not limp and girly. Dry, warm, and kind of firm. Both sides of my mouth work, and I never war-monger. Really. Not ever. I also have no financial interest in any possible war profiteering enterprise. If I support a position, it's because I do, and not because somebody told me I should, and I'd probably defend myself before I decided I was wrong if somebody like Hannity or O'Reilly wanted to call me out. Actually I'd go on their shows. And I'd tell'em they better do it live, and kick their butts in their own house, because that's my VP-style.

I'd be sure to get over-exposed. No secret-location stuff for me. I'd always be up-front and out there and surrounded by press--why? Did not get enough attention as a child. Also, I'm super-transparent. Glassine, actually. I am a lens. I am a camera. TMZ would be all like, we saw vixengrl out and about. She was okay. Uh, that was it. She wears flats and I don't think she ever wears panty hose.

Like Michelle Obama, I don't like panty hose. It does hurt to wear them and they are not comfortable, especially if you are an odd size, like tall (her) or curvy (me). So I would rock pants and long skirts. I'd normalize people seeing pale, slightly untoned legs. I'd probably be the first VP with tats. Problem with that? Buy yourself a laser and see if you want to make something of it. (See: Philadelphia and large biceps.) Anyone who calls me elitist would look kind of dumb.

I would inspire drinking games about pop-culture references and while I'd be thoroughly mis-trusted in the Bible-belt, I'd be the best friend education, science, the environment, and technology ever had since Al Gore. I'd wonk it highly and be upfront about debunking stupid memes and promoting reason. I'd respect that other people believe things I don't, but draw the line where some people's beliefs affect other people's freedoms. I'd be a Bill of Rights poster child. My husband would probably be more low-key, but together, we'd be really out there on Labor issues, union organization, and living wage. I'd be vocal on human rights, even if it wasn't always the best thing for foreign policy, but I'd make it up the next day by trying to reach out to other countries--talking about refugees, and social justice and feminism and the like.

And nobody would really be too eager for me to be president, so Barack could just do his thing knowing I'm no threat, just all support and vocal "happy to be here."




Wow, do I have a vivid dream-life, or what?)

10. "I can do funerals without my make-up running because "

" I don't really wear much, and I look great in black."


Wow - someone who understands how to dress for the occasion! That'll be something different!

[FrenchieCat]

9. Well I up for Secretary of Kick Some Ass for Prez Barack....

How's that? ::P

[harun]

11. I am holding out for Secretary of Round em Up and Ship em to the Haque (n/t)

[arcos]

12. If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve.

But thanks anyway. :)

[hedgehog]

13. I have a really nice looking family, too. If I were VP, Obama could use my kids

for photo ops anytime he wants to have some private time with his family!

[UrbScotty]

14. Well, you'd do better than the current one!

Then again, so could either of my dogs.
