In most seasons, I could understand a pro-life choice, but bringing disappointed women voters back into the fold, without actually naming Clinton VP, will be Obama's chief task, so his pick must be pro-choice.
Hillary Clinton can suck my sweaty sack.
Obviously, you attract mostly Obama supporters to your blog. Otherwise, you'd have more than 4 percent voting for Hillary as VP. (And not very savvy ones at that. I mean, Chuck Hagel?)
Wow, not many choices in the poll. Kay, do you still think people will be pro-Hillary after this recent 'gaffe' about RFK?? Wow, that is blind love in my opinion.
This poll isn't a poll at all. There are only 2 individual's names mentioned. What type of candidate is obvious. A presidential Democrat like Richardson or Edwards is what is called for. Hillary's incredible gaffe today rules her out of consideration for any place in the Obama administration.
Picking a pro-lifer (either option 1 or 2) would GUARANTEE an Obama loss with a total abandonment by HRC's core Democratic constituency. And the "assassination" gaffe pretty much guarantees no Hillary on the ticket. Michelle wouldn't let it happen. Option 4 is the only possibility.
You put this poll up AFTER the assassination comments? What is wrong with you?
yeah, after her assassination comment there is no way she gets on the ticket now. obama would have to hire a food-taster if she took the veep slot. so i guess we know her endgame strategy: 1) insert shark into water 2) jump it
If the party forces Obama to put Clinton on the ticket, my generation will know what our parents felt in 1968, when millions of young Americans had their idealism shattered by the MLK and RFK assasinations. The many young people whom Obama has brought into politics will quietly turn our backs on politics, pursue other interests, and wish President McCain all the best.
Choosing a Republican such as Hagel or Bloomberg as his veep would be the equivalent of choosing a backup QB who, upon entering the game, would take the snap from center, turn around, and run to the goal line behind his team.
What kind of choice is this. Have you all lost your marbles !
They used to say "Behind every great man there has to be a great woman"... now we can prove that "Beside every great man there is a great woman"... help restore American democracy and the American Dream based on family values, assist Michelle Obama into the role beside here husband as Vice President of the United States of America, together they will ensure real change... (and Hillary Clinton's comments on 'JFK' and all such notions will be nipped in the bud forever). Visit http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/benhu/gGBmnt
