I guess if Obama is as bad as HRC supporters say he is
The honorable thing for her to do would be to decline any VP invitation. Is that correct?

1. I'd be shocked as hell if Hillary would
accept the VP spot no matter what Obama said or did before or after the primary season. She wants top spot or no spot.

3. I think she would make an awesome VP
However, it is HRC's polarizing nature, not her competence, that forced me to not support her. I would be afraid that she would energize the gop even in the VP slot. I think those advising Obama would tell him to stay clear.

4. The Hillary camp "sort of" floated the idea that she MIGHT accept
the VP slot yesterday---thru her mouthpiece Terry McCaulliffe.
I think they are seeing the writing on the wall.

2. I would hope she would have the decency to DECLINE any part in Obama's smear campaign.
I will give her kudos for doing so.

5. You must be a racist.
Not really but I just thought I would throw that out there since all Obama supporters are suddenly sexist.

24. I don't know if people are NOT voting for Clinton because of sexism...
I think true sexist pigs would vote repug anyway. I'm sure there are some here and there, but I doubt that there is any concerted effort by sexists to take down Clinton.

15. Obama's smear campaign???
ROFLMAO!!! You do realize that it's this kind of lies and distortions that have sunk Hillary, don't you? Keep it up!
You're doing more for Obama's campaign then many Obama supporters are doing.

6. What makes you think she'd be asked?
Other than trying to placate some of her malcontent supporters, what does she bring to the ticket that offsets her massive negative ratings?

7. I don't think she does bring anything positive as far as getting votes
It was more of a hypothetical. I do believe she would make a great VP but could bring down the ticket. So she really is a catch 22.

21. As she said, though, it takes a President to sign into laws.
Edited on Thu Feb-28-08 08:45 AM by tekisui
And implement the changes.

14. If Obama would offer it, I would be very disappointed.
any ticket that includes Hillary ensures a McCain presidency.

16. If Hillary were so "unelectable" why was Bloomberg waiting in the wings
to get into the race IF Hillary won the Dem nomination? I think Bloomberg believes that Obama is going to be nominated and he is comfortable that Obama will not be a problem to beat in the GE. Just my opinion so don't start throwing the flames. Take opinions like an adult, please.

18. I don't think he is bad. I doubt she would ever take the vp slot.
Not supporting him for President doesn't mean one doesn't like him.

HOWEVER..... there are a couple dozen of his supporters on DU that I can't stand.

I still think he is a good guy though.

27. Hillary would not be a good VP pick for Obama
Obama would need a military guy like Clark. So she would not be asked in the first place. And even if asked I doubt she would accept after the shameful campaign Obama has run against her.

29. Obama ran on Hillary's "negatives"
Much of his campaign has been based upon Hillary-hate, as there is little else for this charlatan.

It would be impossible. But hopefully Obama will be stopped in TX.
