Ok what is wrong with Lanny Davis
Why do old Clinton supporters continue to use Murdock owned sources to sow division in the party? And why doesn't Clinton end this crap? Its really getting annoying.

Lanny ,I am not telling Obama he should pick Clinton but he should pick Clinton, Davis.

1. Don't blame "Clinton supporters" for Lanny's idiocy.
He's a Lanny-supporter, and will say anything to keep Lanny on TV.

4. I don't blame Clinton supporters as a group
But there's a really troubling pattern of high level Clinton supporters spewing stuff for murdock. If she is on board and is as tight with this chump as he wants us all to believe then a simple phone call to him should suffice.

2. Hillary doesn't stop it because she doesn't disagree...
It would take one call.

19. This is both divisive and untrue.
Hillary threw her support behind Barack.

3. Don't blame Clinton for Lieberman Lanny Davis.
Lanny Davis is the biggest asshole in the Democratic party. Always has been, always will be.

6. Why do they usually show up on Fox?
Because the DLC have always had the same pro-corporate goals for our government as the RNC types Murdock always supports.

Brothers in arms.

10. What upsets you so, that Lanny is telling the truth?
Obama's polls are tightening in some key states and in national polls.

There are only 2 people (since Edwards is probably out thanks to the Enquirer) who could excite the party if named VP: Gore and Hillary. Gore appears to have better things to do with his life. That leaves Hillary.

Does anybody here really think that the average voter would give a damn if he nominates Kaine, Bayh, Biden, etc.? Of course not, they'll give a collective yawn.

People here keep bringing up that the RW would be energized if she were on the ticket. Go cruise the Freeper's site and the other RW blogs, they absolutely detest Obama and now think that Hillary is the better of the two (wonders never cease...). So, I don't think Hillary is the one who will make them come out in droves to vote for McCain.

But that's OK, I had enough of the left ignoring the fact that millions of people actually do like Hillary and that's why they voted for her over Obama.

We could have had an awesome ticket, the demographics they each attract compliment each other. They are not the best of friends, but so what? I don't hang out with every one of my coworkers either, who does? They only need to be able to work well together and I think that they could do it.

Oh why bother, the hell with it, I give up!!!

16. Telling the truth?
Besides the fact that it is divisive, and being used by the WSJ just because of that. What purpose does it serve the Dem party?

We all know who and what Hillary is was. Who is his audience here? I find his arguments disingenuous at best and deliberately misleading is probably closer to the truth.

Why do you think the lunatic right wingers want Hillary more?

20. What possible evidence do you have....
...to suggest that Gore and Clinton are the ONLY running mates for Obama who could excite the party?

I call bullshit -- especially since your motives are clearly transparent.

12. Lanny is not "sowing division" -- he's setting out the arguments for the strongest Democratic ticket
and he's exactly right in everything he says there.

The people who are sowing division are the Clinton haters who shriek mindlessly -- the Knights of Umbrage, as someone here called them -- whenever Hillary's name is mentioned and someone points out she'd be the best possible running mate.

God forbid anyone pay attention to the fact she very nearly won the nomination -- why pay attention to 18 million votes? -- or to the fact she consistently polled better against McCain than Obama did, or to the fact three different organizations' polls over three months showed that she would help Obama as his running mate.

After all, if we pay attention to those facts and recognize that she is the best possible choice for VP, we'll be accused of "sowing divison" by silly Clinton haters.
