Obama supporters: If the ticket was Obama/Clinton, would you decline to vote in the GE?

[closeupready]

And vice versa, for Hillary supporters?

[GarbagemanLB]

1. If Obama was on top of the ticket, I'd vote for it. I do think it would be a weak ticket, though.

[wileedog]

35. My thoughts exactly

Why galvanize the Republican base just to get Clinton in the VP spot?

I'd vote for it though. as long as he was on top.

[SoonerPride]

2. I would back the Democratic nominee regardless of who the VP is on the ticket

.

[caledesi]

43. I agree! NT

[babylonsister]

3. I hope Obama wouldn't make that mistake. nt

[rox63]

4. Yes, and I will vote for the Dem nominee, whoever it is

I'll just need several clothespins on my nose if it's HRC.

And if Hillary is Obama's VP, I'd want to be sure he ups his security and hires a food-taster. :scared:

[SharonRB]

9. I'm with you

The Dem will get my vote, whoever it is, but I won't be happy if it's HRC.

[Emillereid]

5. Sure - as long as he keeps her under wraps and doesn't let her have anything

to do with foreign policy.

[calmblueocean]

6. I don't think it's the strongest ticket, but damn straight I'd vote for Obama/Clinton.

The problem is that Hillary has made so many attacks against Obama that her presence on the ticket, I think, sigficantly undercuts him, as if he wasn't strong enough to get out from under her shadow, and we don't need a Democratic shadow president like Cheney has been for Bush.

[WA98070]

7. Will NOT vote for Clinton, if Obama is that easily manipulated, too bad.

[auburngrad82]

14. So you would risk giving up the White House to show your ass?

This is the only reason McCain has a chance. It's your way or the highway. My choice is Obama but I'll damn sure vote for Clinton over McCain. I've lived through enough shit from the GOP to last a lifetime. I'm not looking to live through any more.

[PoliticalAmazon]

26. It's a voter's right to vote what they believe is best for their country...

Besides, Obama supporters need to be focused on winning this primary.

[onenote]

8. I'll vote for the Democratic nominee if its Obama (my choice) or HRC

and the choice of VP isn't going to change that.

[azmouse]

10. I'd gladly vote for Obama

but I'd have to hold my nose if she is on the ticket as VP.

[NJObamaWoman]

11. Not sure and will need tons of convincing.

Part of me would feel that Obama is selling out or atleast forced to have HRC on the ticket by the other side of the Dem party. The other part of me feels as if I should vote because they are better than McCain but only if Obama is on top of the ticket.



Really I have to see how this all plays out first though.

[Tyler Durden]

12. Of course. I'm not stupid.

And anyone who plays the "WELL! I'm not voting for _______" is one of the fucking reasons we keep losing elections.

On second thought, non-voting assholes are just fine with me. Maybe we NEED 4 years of that fucker McCain to piss everyone off enough so they finally change the God Damned System so this doesn't keep happening.

[Milo_Bloom]

13. Maybe... I know my Mom wouldn't.

[Lucky 13]

15. I will vote Barack for President.

Not Hillary for President with Barack her vice.
Not Hillary for Vice President.

If he's ok with her on the ticket, I'm ok with her on the ticket. The most important thing is getting him into the white house. I don't imagine she'll be able to cause too much chaos in the VP role. At least she won't have her finger on the button.

[kenny blankenship]

16. I'll tell you this: I wouldn't sell him any life insurance

Not with Hillary Clinton as VP.

[all.of.me]

19. I'm with you.

I have heard this before, and friends thought I was nuts to repeat it.

[Old Vet]

17. Obama/Clinton

Wont speculate on a subject , That will never happen.

[BlooInBloo]

18. Of course not - although that is close to the stupidest ticket possible...

... People suggesting it have exactly zero idea of how veeps are chosen, and are almost all Clinton supporters, scrambling to come away with a crust, since the whole loaf is out of reach.

[woodsprite]

20. I've said it before - It doesn't matter who's on the ticket, I'm voting Dem!

That being said, I'd rather be voting to elect Obama for President, than Clinton for Pres. If she's the Pres nom, than I would definitely want him on the ticket as VP. If he's the Pres nom, I would be a little afraid of putting her on since she's so power hungry. I think it might turn out to be a female version of Cheney, albeit much nicer, better looking and more pleasant - I'm talking the power hungry / overriding decisions part.

[lapfog_1]

21. I would vote for it... very reluctantly... and worry for the entire 8 years - n/t

[TahitiNut]

22. It depends. How much Secret Service protection would Obama get?

He'd need additional life insurance, too.

[Inuca]

31. A food taster

that's what Eugene RObinson suggested the other day on MSNBC if this were to happen.

[TahitiNut]

33. Eugene Robinson is one of the saner voices on the tube.

They'd be wise to keep Hillary from getting at the cutlery.

[Catherina]

46. That's weird. Everytime I see Hillary, I think of Lucretia Borgia

and her hollow ring filled with poison. It's the creepiest thing and I can't shake it.

[PoliticalAmazon]

23. Focusing on the elections ahead of us is what is important now.

Obama supporters are focusing on the immediate future. I'll get back to you after we win the primary.

[anonymous171]

24. I wouldn't. In fact I would think it was awesome.

But people here say otherwise.

[IndianaJones]

25. won't vote for a ticket with Obama on it. nt.

[Indenturedebtor]

27. Yes either way

But I almost want to cry at the prospect of having to see her face for the next 4 years. Any republican Veep in the WH is nearly enough to make me cry.

[RaleighNCDUer]

28. That's likely.

"He's inexperienced, incompetant, an empty suit who can only talk, and I'd be honored to serve as his Vice President."

:eyes:

[beachmom]

29. I will vote for the Democrat. Period. nt

[SeaLyons]

30. Clinton/Obama ticket

is becoming more and more a reality. The other way around won't ever happen.

[Connie_Corleone]

32. I would vote, but that ticket would lose with Hillary on there.

I hope he picks Sebelius instead.

[Lena inRI]

34. Like oil and vinegar. . .

. . .why would or should Obama want to put up with a VP Hillary and Bill, who'd be like backseat drivers or know-it-all possessive in-laws.

And if Billary steals the nomination from Obama in convention by back-room deals. . .well, there would be no compromising that betrayal, now would there?

I'm ONLY for OBAMA/WHOMEVER HE TRUSTS TO BE HIS SURROGATE 2008

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[City Lights]

36. That ticket would get my vote, but I think she weakens it. Her as VP

still acts as an energizer for the GOP.

[Skwmom]

37. If Corporate Clinton is on the ticket, I will not vote for it.

But I don't have to worry b/c there is no way Obama puts her on the ticket.

[wowimthere]

38. I don't want another war monger on the ticket... He should pick someone who was smart enough...

to vote against the war, against the bankruptcy bill, against the kyle/Lieberman amendment. He needs someone who is smart and has some experience. Clinton and Edwards and Biden by virtue of their votes shouldn't even be considered.

[Buzz Clik]

39. I'll vote for Obama as prez.

[ShortnFiery]

40. It's a non-issue: HRC would not ever settle for 2nd place - she's way too arrogant to share. eom

[bowens43]

41. I would vote for it if Obama is on the top of the ticket

but my respect for him would plummet. It would be a bonehead move on par with Gore distancing himself from Bill Clinton in 2000.

[Beregond2]

42. I'd vote for it,

but with no enthusiasm. The last thing I want to see is the Clinton/DLC paradigm being given any reason to continue. I can't imagine Obama being naive enough to clasp a viper to his breast in this way.

[Catherina]

44. That's like asking me if I want rat poison in my tea.

I'm voting for Obama. Not for Lady Hillary Macbeth and her Shadow President husband. They're dishonorable people and I'd be shocked if Obama wanted their polarizing presence and disgusting baggage in his administration.

[uponit7771]

45. I'd vote if Obama was on type and would still vote for Hillary while holding my nose

[DefenseLawyer]

47. I would still vote for Obama

But I would really question the credibility of his "new politics" rhetoric if he put that hack on the ticket in what is obviously a calculated political move.
