So Hillary's in--who should be her running mate?
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 07:19 PM by rocknation
I think Clark would be the best balance for Obama. But I really don't know about Hillary because I don't really have a sense of her. Who can do the best job of balancing the ticket and giving the Rethugs something to sweat about?

3. Hillary's running mate will be either
Obama or Bill Richardson.

She needs blacks or hispanics to win. Expect a minority. No White bread males. She will go for broke and make history.

27. Obama wants to deal himself into the game.
As Clinton becomes more obviously the likely winner, that's when the move will be on.
Then who knows what the future will hold

7. I'll speculate when she wins the nomination.
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 07:22 PM by Kerry2008
Until then, she'll have her hands full with Obama, Edwards, Kerry, and the rest of the gang for 2008.

33. Might as well be Lieberman because she's lost the base from the start.
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 09:09 PM by ShortnFiery
I can see hordes for Right Wingers going and voting in those states with OPEN Primaries. And these koolaid drinking right wingers will ALL be voting for Hillary. Why? Because WE ALL KNOW she can NOT win the National Election no matter who is #2 on the Democratic Presidential Ticket.

The only way Hillary can win the primaries is if the Right Wing and M$M puts on a full court press to force her on us. :grr:

Look at the whorish M$M? Yes, it's already ongoing "Hilary Blitz" with Gingrich, et. al., already anointing her. :puke:

Wake up and smell the deceit. :grr:

14. That question assumes that she'll win the nomination
Why not wait until the primaries to see if there's any need to ask?

20. Don't really see three of those
as real VP candidates. Edwards won't run for VP again. Obama would be better off in the Senate (and Illinois isn't a swing state really). And Clark seems more of a cabinet type than VP anyway.

17. Some White Guy
or maybe Richardson. Don't see Clark as being a VP candidate for anybody. A cabinet job for sure, but not VP.

Don't think she'll win the nomination though.

28. Arnold Schwartzenegger.
One or two tweaks of the Constitution and he can qualify, and it would really piss off Rush Limbaugh.
