How about scenario #4 : IGNORE HER, no VP offer fake or not, let her pay off her own debts, Bill made 51 million giving speechs you can do the same with all your free time. Finally don't let the door hit you on the way out.

divisive, how can obama put her on the ticket. "graceful exit stragedy"

and "save face" arent on this womans list of destruction.

Only 56 delegates left!!

Let's remember Hillary was very emphatic about her thoughts on Obama being a capable VP. Why hire a VP who doubts your own ability to lead? Obama offering Hillary the VP slot would demonstrate the same "lack of judgement" stamp critics keep waging against him.

I don't see why the Obama campaign needs to do anything in regards to helping her save face or help her foot the bill for a losing campaign. She didn't run the expenditure of campaign funds (an extra $6 million of her own) by Obama, so I'm unclear as to why anyone else should foot the bill. That would be relatively ironic in a 2008 "chivalry ain't dead...I'll pay the bill, baby" sort of way.

It was a well fought race, she did the best she could, and the best man is winning. No pun intended.

Dear Hil:

You lost. You lost. Fair and square. Obama BEAT you. I know that's unfathomable in your mind, but it's the truth. He's the better candidate and HE BEAT YOU. You can whine and complain and try to change the rules and blackmail with your supporters but in the end, you need to accept that you've been beaten.

You are not entitled to anything because you're a Clinton or because you're a woman. Enough.

Sen. Obama didn't campaign didn't campaign to any real degree in those areas, he just allowed himself to be beat-down.

Don't you think if he had really campaigned there he would have. He gave her every opportunity to exit gracefully. But her ego??? Well, you know the rest.

She has the popular vote and will open up a wider margin after all the contests are over!

Hillary is and always has been the strongest candidate and may she go all the way to the convention to prove it!

Go Hillary and Go Democrats!

Hillary '08!

To me, Hillary is the EVIL FACE of everything bad of WASHINGTON.

OBAMA and HILLARY are on the OPPOSITE ENDS of GOVERNANCE

HILLARY and CLINTONS should be IGNORED

OBAMA will gain the presidency only if Hillary is completely brushed off and pushed out. She has no SHAME and no RESPECT left in public life after everything she did in this campaign.

OBAMA – Don't get the baggage of Clintons. It will DROWN your DECENCY and cost you the Presidency

Clinton is a BIG LIABILITY and I for one will not VOTE for you if Clinton has any role in your administration

Angry in Idaho

There is no graceful way for her to exit......she has no idea what the wor "grace" means. Hoping the Governor Sebelius is the VP nominee on the Obama ticket.

The puppet demagogue or the champion of the people?
The boastful, cocky braggert or the hardworking woman?
The inclusive true democrat or the pompous elitist?
The mainstream centrist or the radical left-wing extremist?
The policyless cutie or the intelligent policy wonk?

Exit stage left. Even if Florida and Michigan get seated in a reasonable and fair manner you are mathematically eliminated so please step aside gracefully and maintain your dignity.

First the crying, then the cackle, the lying to appear brave under "sniper fire". She she should have run a coherent campaign on her strengths and not changed "voices" every few weeks. People still respected and trusted her before this election.

Even with this risk, I say put her on the ticket. While I like Bill Richardson or John Edwards better than Hillary as far as a "backup President", putting her on the ticket would be the best political move Obama could make. It would, without a doubt, guarantee the victory. In the end, isn't that everyone's goal?

It amounts too nothing more than black-mail by the Clinton campaign to put Clinton on the "ticket". Sen. Obama, should have the right to choose his own running mate, he should be able to choose someone more reflective of himself and the values he have for his administration as president of the US.

Clearly if he chose Clinton in the short-term as his running mate she'd get what she want and so would her supporters, however, in the long-term, President Obama would have to contend with her and her divisive attitude, I certainly don't see her being subordinate, she'd do nothing but create problems for him, and I don't see her as a team player. She has to be the one in charge. I don't see that she has the kind of respect that would allow her to work as #2 to President Obama. She would be too contentious, and of course, there is President Clinton.

Let's be honest! This is no dream ticket. The Obama's would be in a constant state of nightmare, not to speak of the ultimate voters would subsequent realize for pressing having her in the office of VP.

President Obama, would not be able to govern and/or perform the duties of president with Clinton forced on him as vice president. He'd not be able to fully trust her.

He has the right to choose his own second. President Clinton is now pressing this, but I wonder what he would have done had he been forced to have someone as vice president that he didn't want. Seems to me he ought to show Sen. Obama the same respect to choose his running-mate without forcing his wife down our throats. Besides, if those folks that voted for Sen. Obama because that's who they want.

I wonder how many of you that work anywhere would appreciate having someone forxed on you in your workplace that you don't or didn't want. It's always fine when it affects someone else, isn't it?

Now that the prepared speeches carried his this far, he must take over with his own merits.

Trouble is... he has no merits. Turns out, it was all "JUST words". He waffles on his own positions on the important issue, he has no track record to refer to, he can not answer questions intelligently, and he has lost the trust of many democrats.

Only Clinton can save the democratic party.

6 months ago they were all but lining up to sign off on the Hillary/Obama joint ticket.

Now that Obama has pulled ahead he should just push past her and she is a bad possible VP?

Please.

Obama can not win without Hillary's supporters which are a large portion of the Democratic base he claims to represent. He darn well should "appease" them.

Hillary has a lot of ammo int hats he will very likely win the overall vote count if she merely pushes on to Puerto Rico.

Obama has been excellent at many things but he should have offered her already and put this bed before she won Kentucky and other recent states by huge margins making his own inevitably truly questionable.

I'd prefer Hillary as the candidate and 8 year President with VP Obama with 8 years following that for Obama as President. That is what every Democrat SHOULD want but we are too stupid to defeat even GW Bush.... so what can you do.

We deserve to lose, even though this should be the easiest win for us in decades!

The Democratic Party and the fools who make it up just never learn. Just goes to show that when it comes to infinite stupidity, the Democrats can more than hold their own against the Republicans.

Hillary would not be a good Vice President to run on the Obama ticket, because of their personality styles, direction (CHANGE). This campaigning has gone on way too long. The mode of the process that we are in now could render the whole democratic party powerless and ineffective to win.

I am a supporter of Obama and hope that the process ends soon, so we can move onto the next phase.

but McCan't

The real battle is in November. Do not abandon your party just because your preferred candidate loses.

And do not vote for McCain in frustration. McCain is 4 more years of Bush.

"You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.”

Hillary will rise, and history will prove what a loss it will have been if she does not become president!

BUT AS FOR ME, I WILL WRITE HER NAME ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT IF NATIONAL IGNORANCE SELECTS OBAMA - AND I'LL SLEEP VERY WELL AT NIGHT, KNOWING THAT I HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING.

OBAMA 08
