2. Hey, if she can get 30% (current vote) in this Clinton-hating echo chamber, that's amazing.
:)

GDP might be slowly, reluctantly working its way back toward being in sync with most of the Democratic Party...

9. Just wait for people to get off work and that percentage will drop significantly
anybody can coordinate with a crowd of dumbasses to flood a messageboard,
but you can only vote in this poll once

;)

11. Oh, I know this is a Clinton-hating echo chamber. That's pathetically obvious.
And again, that's why this place isn't in sync with the Democratic Party overall, any more than PUMAs are.

You Clinton-haters here are just the mirror image of PUMAs, and just as harmful to the party.

13. I voted no for her as VP
even though I voted for her for the Senate. She is too polarizing a person and there are much better choices for VP.

I would prefer Wes Clark.

21. I don't hate Hillary. I just don't want her anywhere near Obama.
I have accepted her for what she is.
and that ain't VP

12. With respect, I am not a Cinton hater; I just think if she is picked the election
will be about her and Bill. Not because the Clintons would want it to be that way, but because that's what the media would do. The media controls nearly everything in this country.

I haven't heard one name on the short list that I didn't see as being a great choice.

10. You mean the "flood of tripe" that our delegates and superdelegates would agree with,
since most of them also think Clinton would help the ticket?

LOL.

would you expect it to be reversed? If DU were mainstream America, nothing would get done.

20. Her family and close friends meet with Carly Fiorina and people want her to be VP?
A selfish woman who would add nothing to Obama; she can't be trusted. Everything Hillary does is in her own best interest. Obama wouldn't be stupid enough to pick her.

22. The list of lines crossed is endless, and now one more...
I agree ~ Obama would have to be nuts to pick her, or trust either of them. It's bad enough he's given them so much convention time ~ hope it doesn't backfire on him.

24. She's certainly not the worst person I've heard suggested for the job
but she's far from the best. Too many negatives, not the least of which would be three people trying to be President at the same time.

For that reason, I have to say no. But I'd take her reluctantly over Evan Bayh or Sam Nunn.

26. Please stop this.
It's just divisive. And it garners a sour taste for whomever the choice will be.

This ain't the primaries.

28. this poll is in response to the several dozen threads pushing Hillary
It has as much right to be here as they do.
More so, in fact.

30. Poll reflects real-world polls - a majority of registered voters don't want her on his ticket.
He is highly unlikely to grant her that slot on his ticket.
