"VP hillary endangers Prez Obama"-former clinton advisor

Think 'presidential line of succession.' (Incidentally, put HER on the ticket and a significant number of OBAMA supporters will flee. The clintons anywhere near the Oval Office is a clear and present danger for us all.)

MUST-READ!

Nuclear option

James Poulos, 5.7.08

They call it the "dream ticket" - a unity deal, brokered at the Democratic convention in Denver, Colorado, that puts both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on a bumper sticker and, hopefully, in the White House. Now that the mainstream media, Clinton's greatest ally, has finally recognised the legitimacy of Obama's triumph over her grinding and obdurate campaign, the dream ticket has lost any speculative vagueness of Beltway cocktail chat. Now, that dream is a matter of deadly seriousness - because it is now Hillary's dream, and her last remaining option. Make no mistake: going into Denver with a heap of white votes and fortified by the new power of the post-Cheney vice-presidency, Hillary Clinton intends to force her way onto the ticket. If it knows what's good for it, the Democratic party should stop her.

If Hillary becomes VP. Obama will be assasinated within a year by the Clinton camp. This lady will do anything to become president!

[winklestraat]

It would be completely NUTS to have her on the ticket!

[corn2head]

Anderson.. Marry me! I want your babies.

if obama does NOT pick Clinton for VP, it would be a major insult to her , to the Manu Hilary supporters and women

in general. I will ONLy vote for him if she is on the ticket. Many others feel the same way . He needs her.

[Steadno]

I don't think they are the same.

[MichelLune]

Besides Clinton Radical represent such a small percentage of her supporters. But having her on the ticket will a get significant percentage of her supporters that do wanted to vote out when they might otherwise discouraged and stay at home in November. Alternatively we could allow McCain to win crucial states in November by close margins when they could have been sweeps.

[MichelLune]

Who cares they are basically the same person. All that matter is that we win.

[MichelLune]

That not important. If are a supporter of liberal democratic values you must know how important it is to win the White House. Democrats want to vote. Traditional Republican do not because don't like McCain. But he can still win. There is no reason to risk that office. Take Hilary and crush McCain. There only a superficial difference between them. I know Hilary could do more in her career as senator than VP. Obama may not want second fiddle in his administration. "Take a hit for the team."

[RacismSux]

Senator actually Obama won the popular vote. Rush Limbaugh had millions of Republicans change their party affiliation to Democrat and vote for Hillary as his stupid "Operation Chaos." I heard them say they had to shower after doing that because they really HATE her. And of course they will be voting for McBush in the national election.

Therefore, "President" Obama REALLY won the popular vote in the primaries, not Hillary.

[SabuPtolemy]

"OBAMA SUPPORTERS - Get ALONG with the Hillary supporters because Sen. Obama needs their votes. If you piss off the Hillary voters, Sen. Obama will suffer the consequences, and so will the COUNTRY if we have to deal with 4 more years of McBush!"

A lot of currently bitter Hillary groupies and feminists will chill out in time. Any progressive minded pro-choice woman who votes for McSame is essentially screwing herself. You really want that old fool to appoint the next 2, 3 Supreme Court judges?

[robpurifoy]

Some Feminist will off OBama inside of 3 months. Hell no to Hillary VP.
