Would Obama consider a republican VP?
With his campaign all about bipartisanship and reaching out to the repubs and working together, would Obama consider a republican vice-president such as Hagel?

This way, it would show he is very sincere to his campaign theme.

What do you think?

15. His campaign is about UNITING the country.

Let me see. If I wanted to retain power, I would find the most polarizing, divisive figures I could find (Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton) to run the country. The people would be so busy fighting among themselves and pushing their representatives to fight the other side that NOTHING would get done

Divide and Conquer.

3. No. Clinton said the same thing during his campaigns.
Whoever wins the nod will have too many people to 'pay back' in the Democratic party to jump the aisle.

4. Judging by all his rhetoric of reaching out to Republicans, I wouldn't put it past him
It would be time to start a new party if he does it, though.

12. actually, since it was the Clinton/DLC types who pushed Lieberman on Gore it's more like Hillary
would be the one to do such a thing.

Oh, and you knew Lieberman was assigned to Obama. But decided to post your crap anyway, right?

18. You don't seriously want me to post all those links about their
relationship again? Do you?

It would just embarrass you.
