Why would Hillary consider Obama as her VP if she already said he lacks the experience to be Pres?
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 01:01 PM by zonkers
Is anyone asking her this question to her face?

And lets ask Ed Rendell why the Democratic party should change election rules mid-race and suddenly anoint the candidate who has won more states with more electoral votes.

And lets ask Hillary supporters why they continue to whine about the caucus/primary rules mid-race.


I guess it all comes down to the old lawyer's adage, "if you can't pound the facts, pound the table".

Reverend Al is swooping in to save Obama and the Florida Dems

3. Traditionally Veeps don't do much. Al Gore was the exception.
Obama will be a traditional Veep, kept far away from anything important.

I don't believe for a second she will choose him, he would stab her in the back politically. She wouldn't be able to trust him.

End of story. Full stop.

8. here's the real story: she's desperate and quite pathetic
she's trying to undermine him and lure some of his voters. It won't work, and he just put her down but good. Have a great day watching her get soundly beat in MS tomorrow.

20. I agree with your points. If she had principles, after saying she and mccain
were qualified to be president, but Obama was just a speech, she would not have done this

The truth is, when she voted for the IWR, indicated she did it because she trusted the president, and then essentially did it again through the non-binding kyle/lieberman ammendment, that indicates to me that you cannot trust where she really stands on the issues.

How can she indicate Obama as VP on the ticket when he believes we should negotiate with our advesaries without preconditions, and she doesn't

Of course that ignores the fact of those that negotiated with the Soviet Union and red China

It tells me that they have a problem or they would not even do it. You can't tell me it is for unity, because she would not have even brought up the mccain comparison if she wanted unity

This is pure power politics, which says much more about her character

10. Heh...
End of story. Full stop.

I admire her new campaign slogan.

She won't be choosing anything except a nice font for her resume.

15. projecting again?
That's what she would do to him.

No, Obama will not stoop to being VP to HRC's lying, cheating, corrupt, monstrous ass.

Clinton association taints with a lasting stench, just ask Al Gore!

17. She's trying to frame herself as the winner and minimize Obama.
It's completely transparent. I don't think even the most die-hard HRC supporters believe it for a minute.
