These Rumors about SOS: If Hillary is not named SOS will it get the Hillaryites mad as Hell?

[SuperTrouper]

I think that these rumors will be problematic if Sen. Clinton is not named SOS. it will create division and the PUMA's will be out in full force. I think that Hillary will be a wonderful SOS and her selection will cause much joy and unity in the party. But if she were not named to be SOS I am afraid that we may have the Primaries fight all over again. Just my opinion.

1. Hillary will get the position she wants.

Theres nothing to fight about.

[LostinVA]

6. See?

[bunnies]

35. Sad but true.

*sigh*

[LostinVA]

44. I need some nice herbal tea -- filled with vodka!

[wyldwolf]

2. there's about 3 Pumas left. Are you skeered of them?

[Captain Hilts]

3. No! It's not really the job for her. Or Kerry. nt

4. The Obama team would have to make it clear what happened.

If this is pure BS created by Andrea Mitchell, then they should simply state that they have no idea where the information came from and they suspect the media is just making up things to get attention. Republicans are great at blaming the media. Dems aren't but I'm hoping Obama will manage the media as well as President as he did as a candidate.

5. Are you suggesting Obama should kowtow to rumors so as not to anger PUMAs?

14. I can't believe how fast the media rumors flower on this board.

Shouldn't people recognize them for what they are after awhile? :hi:

[AtomicKitten]

17. faux leaks on crack

:hi:

[pnwmom]

7. You mean, are the Hillaryites a bunch of hysterical sore losers?

The answer is no.

[rvablue]

19. Agreed, but its sure looks like there are fair share of Sore Winners on DU

today.

For the life of me, I cannot even believe the amount of Clinton hate on DU today.

And it is only bound to continue and increase.

[pnwmom]

22. Yes, and it is disturbing. n/t

[onehandle]

24. I didn't support Hillary in the primary, but I hope that Obama does make her SoS or something else.

I will enjoy the Clinton haters' heads exploding.

Regardless, Obama will hire more and more Clinton era staff.

More DUers heads exploding. Good.

[LisaM]

26. I know. WTF is going on?

It's making me angry. The ones who aren't bashing Hillary are gloating in the possible demise of the Big Three.

THIS is what the state of Michigan gets for going to Obama in a big way, after the DNC screwed Michigan's primary vote? Geesh.

[Zuiderelle]

32. Some people just love conflict. It's a strange and annoying ailment.

[TwilightZone]

29. The primary battles never end around here.

Hell, some people are still fighting the '04 primary. Just check out any thread that mentions John Kerry.

[Arkansas Granny]

37. And it's not even connected to anything she's done. It's all based on unsupported rumors.

[WI_DEM]

8. I say ignore rumors and wait until Obama makes his decision

the media has nothing to report so they have to create story lines.

[Cosmic Charlie]

9. this is the whole point of the 'leak'

we see it each time Obama has to pick a major position.

some try to force Hillary down his throat.

Obama will make his own decision regardless of 'leaks'.

[rvablue]

20. So if we hear in coming days that Hillary is SoS it will have

been a decision that someone "forced down his throat"?????????????????

[Cosmic Charlie]

25. don't worry. you won't hear that.

[Metric System]

10. Ugh. Give me a break. The only thing that pisses her supporters off is the bashing that goes on here

Where have you seen us on DU advocating that Hillary become SOS?!? I've seen many Hillary supporters here say that she's fine remaining in the Senate. The division is caused by assholes who attack Hillary.

[LostinVA]

11. You got it

[Marrah_G]

12. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[LostinVA]

16. I need some "nice herbal tea"

[rvablue]

21. Thank you MetricSystem, you are exactly right!

I don't care either way what happens.

But all of this bashing and Clinton's are the evil incarnates now trying to take over the Obama administration is really getting on my nerves and just proving how politically naive some DUers are...if Hillary is SoS, it's going to be because Obama CHOSE her..........geebus!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maven]

23. Exactly.

[LostinVA]

13. Yes, I will NEVER vote for Obama in the 2008 election if that happens!!!!!!

I'll vote for Cynthia McKinney instead! Or Ralph Nader!!!!!

[Sensitivity]

15. Rumors of supposed leaks are really bad for the transition. WHY ARE THEY HAPPENING?

[Joe Chi Minh]

45. Because gentle Robert wants them to happen.

[TheWraith]

18. And I still think that's why this was leaked, to try and pressure Obama. nt

[Joe Chi Minh]

40. Yes, they won't let up. I used to like Hillary, but the manic arrogant pushiness

of her supporters is all too reminiscent of this shower of Republicans. But I love the diffident, kindly tone of the OP. A real pro. He knows how stir up the pot and raise the pressure.

[LostinVA]

42. hahahahhaha

Oh, you were series.

:eys:

[Joe Chi Minh]

46. Also serious.

[harun]

27. When aren't the Hillaryites pissed off?

* rhetorical question *

[LostinVA]

34. You really are a divisive prat, aren't you?

Bringing up Primary Rehashing is against DU rules.

[TwilightZone]

28. "PUMAs will be out in full force"

What, all two dozen of them?

This is getting ridiculous.

[Zuiderelle]

30. Lovely. Even now, people love to pretend there are PUMAs.

I would prefer Hillary stay in the senate instead of serving as SOS. Even better, she should be nominated as a SCOTUS justice if the opportunity arises.

But in whatever capacity, she will continue to SERVE HER COUNTRY more than any of us do.

[Joe Chi Minh]

31. Guess who'll win?

36. Flamebait! Thanks for being sooooo helpful.

shit stirrer

[Beacool]

38. Not me!!!

I would rather not see her relinquish her senate seat to be in Obama's cabinet taking orders from him and serving for as long as he wishes. I want her to be in a position to express her thoughts freely and steer her ship in whichever way she sees fit.

:shrug:

[JI7]

39. these type of threads always seem like the person is looking for a flame war

[LostinVA]

41. What else could they really be?

[TexasObserver]

47. "Seem like"?! I take issue with that term. They ARE looking for a flame war.

[Bake]

43. It won't make me mad; I don't think it's a good fit.

And I can't imagine why she'd want it.
