Comments on: Second petition drive launched to make Clinton VP http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/06/04/second-petition-drive-launched-to-make-clinton-vp/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Nam Vet64/68 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/06/04/second-petition-drive-launched-to-make-clinton-vp/#comment-1211907 Nam Vet64/68 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:16:50 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7588#comment-1211907 Although this would virtually guarantee the Democrats the White House, I believe this would be a "marriage" made in hell. Hillary won't take a back seat to anyone and the vice-president is supposed to take care of the small tasks that the president cannot, or will not, do. If she can resign herself to the "helper" role in this mixture (keeping their heated discussions behind closed doors), then they will have a good 8 years with Obama and then Hillary would be a shoe-in for 2016.

She refusede to concede, but does she think she has a chance to capture the VP spot by being defiant and arrogant. She forgets that Obama is in the drivers seat, not her. The way she acted last night, I think she pushed herself out of any position to bargain on the VP spot.

You are gonna have most Democrats vote for whomever the Democratic nominee is but there will be some who absolutely will not vote for Obama because he is African American and because Hillary lost. It's sad but it shows in the polls everyday. After all of the attacks that have went on during this primary as well as her taking it to the bitter end when she knew that she basically did not have a chance to secure the nomination. I must admit that she got alot of votes but Obama got just as many {if not more}. He should not be forced to make Hillary and Bill his VP. If people are gonna vote for McCain for this reason and he wins then they deserve everything they get over the next four years. The majority of Americans poured out and voted for Bush in 2000 & 2004 and look what happened. It's tme for a change in the White House and not just a change of faces but also a change of policies and the Democratic nominee offers the best chance we have for change. Before I go I want to ask this question. Would Hillary have made Obama her V.P. if she had won the nomination? No. Alot of Obama supporters would not like this.

I wonder, since Hillary refuses to back out of the race, IF something were to happen to Obama and he wasn't able to complete his bid for President, would Hillary automatically become the Presidentual candidate or would there be another Election? We already know what happens if the President is unable to continue his term the Vice Pres. takes over but what if the party's pick after the Primary stage can't continue? It's never happened in the History of USA but we are having a lot of "First time ever" in American history in the last 10 years or so from the First time in history American was atacked on Her soil with the 911 to the First Black Presidentual canditate in election history. Never thought about it before but what if McCain wasn't able to continue? How would the Rep. Party fill his slot? What if any safe guards are built in? If American has learnt anything from the last 10 years it should be that we should prepare for the worst and pray for the best always.

That would be a disaster. She is divisive, egotistical, calculating, and self-serving. The only cause that she consistently adheres to is her own pursuit of power. You would be hurting your chances to be elected if you chose her. I would never vote for any ticket that had Hillary on it.

Let's talk about REAL party unity. To have Senator Clinton on the ticket would be a way to garner an additional 18 MILLION votes. This isn't rocket science people. The numbers would be helpful. It is sad to see that many do not view Senator Clinton as a change agent. Even Senator Obama has said as much. Here is where REAL humility must come into play. If we all want what's best for the party, then we, as supporters of either candidate must give a little to get 4 years of Democratic rule in return. Senator Clinton earned her right to be celebratory last night. She congratulated Senator Obama and almost guaranteed that in the next few days she'll offer her support. We are ALL human and deserve better than resorting to the sheer anger that often appears on these posts. Are we all ready to be humble and really offer party unity. It starts with each of us as individuals...regardless of which candidate you favor. If any of us answers "no" to this need for coming together...then sadly we do not deserve real change.

Hillary has all the talents in the world to be a great president, but, she has a "Bill" problem. Worrying about bimbo eruptions, library donor problems, his business dealing problems, and his lack of personal control would make it difficult for Obama and Hillary to run a "change" campaign. I can see the right wing hate duo of Limbaugh and Hannity licking their chops over a Clinton on the ticket. She is a great senator and a top tier leader in our party and will be able to help shape the change that we need much more effectively as a Senator. Lanny, please please let it go!

This woman is so power hungry it is ridiculous. Obama should have the right to choose whoever he wants and not be railroaded into picking Hillary just because she has some political clout. All the people pushing Hillary as VP need to back off and let Obama pick for himself. If I were him I wouldn't trust her for a second. She is a sore loser and should have bowed out long ago, but by staying in and making it really divisive, I think she was planning this for awhile. She knew she couldn't win, but she knew if she refused to bow out and tried to make things divisive her supporters would try to strong arm Obama in the end. I have said before she is a very calculating person, and knows how to play the political game dangerously well.
