OK...is it simple math??

[bevoette]

it seems to me that Obama and his people have to do a lot of researching and calculating and number crunching in the next several weeks to basically figure out a simple equation...

Which is greater:

1) the number of democrats that will NEVER vote for him unless it is WITH Clinton on the ticket

VS

2) the number of independents and republicans that WILL vote for him only WITHOUT Clinton on the ticket


is it naive to think that whichever of the above is greater will weigh the heaviest on his VP decision?

2. Threats seem to be the cornerstone of Hillary's campaign. It's not working.

It's been said that her attitude tonight is pissing him off. He's not going to give in.

6. AND the perception

that she's in a position to BULLY him into the VP spot.

3. 3) the number of democrats who will close their wallets

and do nothing more than vote if she is on the ticket. There are plenty of us too.

4. agreed n/t

5. She would make it very difficult to want to donate.

I'm preparing myself for the cash outflow that's coming when it's finalized. I need to find a job soon so I can justify the $2300 that I'll be sending in. :-)

7. It is an interesting question

I bet a lot of people would pay really good money to know the answer. I also bet being a pollster pays a lot better in election years.
