I will be voting against my ideals in Nov-please don't make me vote for 2 at once |
|
Please stop this talk of a shared ticket.
I wanted a candidate that would represent the PEOPLE, that would work for SINGLE, PAYER UNIVERSAL Health Care
and that would BRING THE BOYS HOME NOW
and that NOT vote for any more funding for the wars
I wanted a candidate that put the people interests ahead of Corporate donations and "future electability"
please, please don't talk of the possibility Obama and Hilary sharing the ticket in Nov
I just can't wrap my head around that

2. Don't worry, it's only a fantasy that passes through empty minds. |

3. I don't see why voting for a unity ticket is worse than voting for either by themselves |
|
I'm with you. I think they both stink, but if having them both on the ticket increases the chance of keeping McCain out of the White House I don't think it's such a bad idea.

6. It does kind of beg the question - neither seems likely to put Kucinich |
|
on the ticket; or any comparable figure. Neither feels particularly beholden to the liberal base. Bryant Check it out --> http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com

4. They were both asked about it today |
|
and neither of them ruled it out.
I think it would be the most incredible thing that could happen.
Two incredibly strong candidates, with shared values (but different perspectives and styles). And an African-American and woman to boot.
I couldn't have written it better and I hope they are both big enough to do it.

5. What could a different VP possibly do? |
|
I want a return to what the VP used to be... go to funerals of heads of state and just hang around in case something happens to the Pres.

10. Edwards as AG maybe.. |
|
Him as VP... I don't think he brings enough to the table. The fact he voted for the war (and sponsored the legislation for it) would erode any moral authority Obama claims on that subject.
