Question: If Hillary openly and enthusiastically supported the selection of Sebelius, would her
supporters be ok with the choice?





I think she would (and will) do that.

I don't think Hillary wants to be VP... and I think her more honest supporters would admit that.

2. Hillary's supporters have been unwilling to follow her lead...
Not all, and probably not most, but some.

But that minority is very vocal and a problem.

3. YAWN...another thread devised for some good old-fashioned Hillary bashing (and for taking shots at
her supporters at the same time).

5. I defy you to find one word in the OP that can qualify as Hillary bashing.....

or of her supporters for that matter.



I knew there would be a knee-jerk reaction by some of you.... but re-read the OP. Find something in it that even remotely bashes Hillary..... at all.


You can't.


You're blinded by hate.

6. Then why is there such a concern about them if Obama picks Sebelius?

9. It's manufactured by PUMAs, like the "he needs her" nonsense.
The latter argument, of course, is destroyed by the fact that polls show a majority of registered voters do not want her on his ticket.

Both are attempts to frighten low-info DUers into thinking clinton must be on the ticket to win, when if anything it's quite the opposite.

11. No. They (PUMAs) don't listen to her anyways.
They just hate Obama under the guise of supporting Hillary.

14. Hillary will do
whatever the Party wishes her to do, in order to accomplish the task of getting a Democrat into the White House.


That's who she is.

17. No
I consider her to be too much to the right, and about as boring as a cardboard cut-out.

I don't see what possible benefit she brings to the ticket.

16. I accept that..... but the question is... will her supporters still consider it a "slight"?

18. I don't think people who like Hillary
are a monolithic block.

Other than possibly some voters who simply liked Hillary for being female, I see no reason someone who supported Hillary would be drawn to Sebelius. Frankly, I find the notion that Sebelius could be a replacement for Hillary, merely because she's female, to be sexist.

There are 99 reasons I supported Hillary in the primary -- bein' a b•tch ain't one.

21. ruggerson, I agree with maddie.......
it's not the Obama supporters that are saying that picking Sebelius would be a slight to Clinton...


It's the Clinton supporters. highplainsdem and others..... *THEY* are saying that picking Sebelius would be a slap in the face to Clinton supporters.


I don't see why it would be.... but it is YOU guys who are saying it. I'm asking the question: why?
