DU POLL: Hypothetical President/VP options

[2008]

I believe McCain will be a weak candidate, but I also wonder if we can beat him without a united ticket.

[BlooInBloo]

1. This is stupid. It's been thoroughly established that on DU, only Clinton supporters...

... advocate a "unified" (i.e. Clinton being on the ticket win-or-lose) ticket.

[2008]

5. "thoroughly established" IF...

...one spends more time at DU than I

nothing stupid about curiosity

[Adelante]

2. I support Obama for president

He will decide who is on his ticket.

7. Really?

You mean the VP slot won't be based on my DU poll?

[Adelante]

18. Haha

:D

3. Hillary Clinton....somebody else besides Obama who will drag Hillary down.

6. Hillary drags herself down.

She's currently at septic tank level. :shrug:

[Wes87]

8. Hah! Obama is well below that buddy.

[newmajority]

11. Drag Hillary down from what?

And since when does NY have a "vice-senator"??

[democrattotheend]

14. Are you kidding me?

If Clinton managed to convince the supers to give her the nomination despite being behind in delegates and votes she'd have to beg Obama to take the VP slot in hopes of avoiding a fracture in the party. And as an Obama supporter, I'd hope he would take it, but wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

4. How about Hillary for Ambassador to Iraq?

:evilgrin:

[panader0]

9. Good one...........

[newmajority]

12. Iran would be better.

I'm sure they have heard her recent statements by now, and would give her a warm welcome.

[TahitiNut]

13. I have more respect for the people of Iran than that.

:shrug:

[CTD]

10. I don't want HRC anywhere near the ticket.

[question everything]

15. Other: Gore/Obama

It is clear that both Hillary and Obama are now damaged, and it is clear that none of them can come with enough pledged delegates.

I was impressed with Andrea's scenario

I think that Gore will be drafted. Yet, to completely ignore Obama will set riots among all the new voters and, of course, their representatives.

[the other one]

16. Gore / Edwards

[question everything]

17. Yes, this would be my dream ticket, but it won't fly (nt)

19. ABC

Anybody
But
Clinton
