apparently a big, juicy hunk of bait will be offered Hillary

on CNN this a.m. there was a little talk of offering Hill the opportunity of becoming a Supreme Court Justice if she will stop running now.

-----------


don't take the bait Hill! - NOTHING can be assured at this point in time.


(of course she would make a good Justice - AFTER being prez)

especially since she'll have a lot more pull as a Supreme Court Justice then she would as a senator, which is what she'll be otherwise.

if hillary really believes obama is not electable why would she take this particular bait. if he loses in november he won't be appointing any supreme court justices.

I think he'll win and then they can work out the particulars. But having the offer is better than nothing. I really don't think that's a bad deal for her or us. Geez I think SCJ would be a truly great place for her. A democrat who is young enough to last 20 or 30 more years!

and i thought the patriots were going to win the super bowl. and everybody just knew that bush could no way in hell get a 2nd term, and yet he did. she already has a senate seat, and should obama not win my guess is she'll run in 2012, so pragmatically speaking, the baits not all that juicy.

and of course you could be correct but I still think Obama will be our next president. You know what they say about opinions and all, so take it for what it's worth.

that's why i said that pragmatically it's not that good a deal.
hillary will hold out for, and receive some kind of consideration. i've read lots of posts that state "she lost, she gets nothing" that's not going to happen. i don't think hillary as veep is a good idea, but it wouldn't surprise me if that happens. this should absolutely be the year for the democrats, but we'll blow it if our base stays divided. mccain is going to be harder to beat than many here give him credit for. losing 10% or so of the base right off the bat will be catastrophic. i read a poll that showed 20% or more of hillarys supporters won't vote for obama. i figure half of those won't vote for obama under any circumstances, but even a loss of 10% will probably be enough for the gop to win in november.

the ground they've made.

I think that Senator Obama needs more exposure and a strong pick for his Vice President, other than that I feel pretty good about him. I also realize that it'll be a rocky road at points.

If 10% of our base leaves we'll probably have at least that many from the republican side just not voting. Besides, I just don't believe that most people saying they won't vote for him will follow through on that. Especially the hard core democrats who have worked their butts off for democratic ideals. Most people will calm down and realize the detriment of another war, no progress on health care and massive economic failure that will surely follow a McCain win.

I propose that a compromise will be agreed upon. THERE WILL BE A TICKET WITH CLINTON AT THE HEAD AND OBAMA AS VICE PRESIDENT.

It is fair since Hillary has won more votes in important states, and since Obama in a rookie in national politics.

THIS IS THE FINAL COMPROMISE!

Do you have any clue how our nomination process works?

Go back to Hillaryis44.org - I think they miss you!

You can't be for real! :rofl:

I DON'T.

Welcome to DU. :hi: :rofl:

:thumbsup:

:rofl:

:rofl:

Please read the DNC rules, and try to tighten your grip on reality. Sounds like it's gotten pretty loose. :crazy:

If the rules are followed. You didn't really mean we should change the rules at the end of the game, did you?

Welcome (back?) to DU :hi:

when you travel around DU

:crazy:

Welcome back. :hi:

:rofl:

for a cranial/rectal dislocation, stat. Hillary is going to be lucky to come away from this with the job of dog catcher. Go back from whence thou came, noob.

It must be some good stuff!

:hippie:

Smell a pizza anyone?

...perrrrrrrrrrr

You're out of your fucking mind.

No way in hell will that play out.

"THE BLACK KNIGHT ALWAYS TRIUMPHS!!!"

:hi:

certainly not her judgment.

:blush:

HRC :thumbsdown:

Thank you, Bill Clinton.

She's never shown anything but bad judgement.

The deal is she gets to keep her old job, and she gets to run again if she thinks she can win.

Hillary is not a practicing Constitutional Lawyer ....so why pray tell would she be put in that position?


Did she gain Supreme Court level Constitutional Law experience from hanging out at dinner parties with Supreme Court Justices?


SHE LOST, SHE DESERVES NOTHING.

And she would fight to protect Roe v Wade.

nt

Ambassador appointments are, but a SCOTUS appointment requires a serious degree legal and con law experience.

If she was nominated, the Repukes will filibuster her nomination if they have at least 40 seats.

to get her to stop destroying the party, NOT because she is qualified or she is actually wanted in that position.

I am developing a lot of compassion for Bill Clinton and what he's experienced in his marriage to Hillary. What a nightmare.

Obama can win. So, why would she take such a deal? He can't nominate her if he's not in office.

He will be in office, though. So, if she takes such a deal (and, I would if I were her---lifetime appointment, from which she could still run for POTUS if she desired) it says that she now believes that he will win.

she'd better take whatever is offered.

If there was a way to remove Roberts, Scalia, Alito, or Thomas and put her in their place, well, THAT would be a decent compromise.

I don't doubt that she will be offered something big, but she would never get confirmed, nor, IMHO, should she be.

The only thing I'd worry about is whether her spite at not winning the nomination would lead her to the Dark Side. I'm really not as suspicious of her as some are, but I can't quite shake this nagging feeling...

I want OPEN GOVERNMENT ADVOCATES in the White House and on the Supreme Court.

We have already seen what a few decades of closed government has done for this nation as it consistently sides with the secrecy and privilege of the powerful elite.

I hope they offer her nothing. Not one thing. After what she has done to my party she deserves nothing.

There is nothing feminist about her actions or her position. She wants to be given it BECAUSE she is a woman, not because she did a better or equally good job. She was so arrogant she didn't even campaign for this thing...until she lost.

For her hard effort..

She's slowly roasting over an open fire. Why not just watch her cook? She's almost done.

Why would Obama or DNC need to do anything, other than start campaigning against McCain?

Her bargaining position is not strong.

And to boot, there's no danger of her running for anything and pulling this sort of crap again.

Pandering, smearing, jearing, lying..always gets rewarded in her world of politics.

She's run a strong campaign, moral considerations aside. I don't think Obama wants her on the ticket, I'd prefer someone like Dodd or Feingold in as majority leader.

She'd be a strong, reliable pro-choice vote on the SCOTUS, and she'd never "have" to run for anything, ever again.

Might not be such a bad deal.

life haggling with scalia and thomas.

Encouraging this sort of nonsense by rewarding it only means some other self-absorbed whackdoodle will waste the winner's time and money again next time.

The NY seat is hers for as long as she wants it. And it's not the winners' money, it's ours.

she fucking lost and that's it!

Although she could do either role well, we need universal health care.

Not a Nixonian.
