Clinton Kabuki

I think Senator Clinton should meet Gen Clarke & Evan Bayh, and have them be the representative of her policies & have Sen Obama pick one of them as his VP. I think that will be the best resolution ofr us & both Gen Clarke & Mr Bayh have the support which we need to strengthen the Democratic win in November. Sen McCains worst nightmare is a Democratic Unity & we need to give hima big defeat.
Sen Clinton is too big of a personality to be a VP, after this superb fight she have won herselves a great place in Democratic history & with Sen Kennedy fighting his battle with the cancer, she is the perfect candidate to fill those shoes of leadership for our party. I think most Hillary Supporters would agree that Sen Clinton will be able to guide policy much better in Senate than as a VP. With Obama in White House & Sen Clinton inthe Senate I think we can get Universal Healthcare & our beloved boys & girls out of the harms way in Iraq.

I just think if Hillary were his VP they'd have a better chance of getting elected. I dont' want McCain in office!

One of the posts said Hillary could carry the traditional and swing states if she was on the ticket. What other potential nominees could do that also? I've already said Gov Bill Richardson would be a good choice. I also saw Gov Kathleen Sebelius' name mentioned below. Any other ideas?

I've been suspecting this much for quite a while. HRC wants to be asked so she can turn it down. If she had any class or grace, she would bow out immediately and throw her support behind Obama, no strings attached. Which, of course, means that what she will actually do is anyone's guess.

It's not that she is a woman. It's that she is "that" woman.

We women will REMEMBER in NOVEMBER > NEVER obama . Hillary should run on the independent ticket . Mccain or Clinton in 08 . obama sucks and his wife as first lady ugh .

Key issue here is that the democrats have elected Senator Obama by the Super Delegates (Electoral College- start thinking) and not by the popular vote. This means that on the general election the Electoral College too can and may pick McCain regardless of the popular vote!!

Hey, the democratrs are giving the Electoral College (Big Money) a license to steal!!

I will not vote for Senator Obama even if Senator Clinton is his VP. I will not vote for Senator Obama because I do not want him elected.

I will vote for Senator Clinton as long as she is on top of the ticket, with or without Senator Obama as her VP.

I will vote for Senator Obama in about 4 to 8 years; I figure, by then, he will at least have learned how to lie well.

I do not trust him at all.

I will campaign and vote for Senator McCain if the Super Delegates let Senator Obama run for president.

As someone who is not white, I can certainly state this country is not yet ready for an African American president. Even though he has support in public, when the people vote in private, they will not pick him, .

I am SO DISAPPOINTED IN HILLARY CLINTON!!!!! This was truly a historic night. Hillary was all about me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me. SHAME ON YOU HILLARY.
I will be one 50 year old white female who will not be encouraging Obama to put you as VEEP

The MEDIA NEEDS TO CLOSE YOU DOWN NOW......IT'S Over......I am READY FOR CHANGE

As an African-American and a Democrat, I would not want to see HRC as the vice-presidential nominee. She is too polarizing and I don't believe she has it it her to be number 2, working for anyone. She wants to be number 1 and if she was the vice-president, it would all be about her posturing for her run as a presidential nominee. I truly believe she does NOT want the position. If she accepted it, the team would definitely win. Then what happens four years later? She would have a hard time running against the guy she has been supporting as his VP. I believe she wants to sit on the sidelines and in a couple or three years, she will make another run for the presidency, criticizing Obama's record and telling everyone that the country would have been better off if they had voted for her in the first place.

Somebody needs to commit this crazed woman. Haven't we had enough of her? Please Democrats, come out and boot her out of the party. She is embarassing.

Obama would be lucky to get Hillary as VP, it would ensure a win. He needs her even though he may not want her. She does not need him so much. If he loses she could run again in 4 years, though the shift toward youth would be against her.I think she would prefer McCain personally but not philosophically, anyway.

He dosent need to choose her. He dosent need Bill wandering around the white house trying to run the show or steal his spotlight.

Look, I'm all for letting the Lady have a few minutes. This was a damn close primary. And heck, Obama probably needs a few days to wallow in both the happiness of success and the worry about the general election. I think they both need time take a nap and and a deep breathe, figure out where they are and what's next.

Heck, I think we all need a couple days to calm down and cool down too. I think I'm going to forgo blogging tomorrow and go shoe shopping or some other ridiculously mindless activity.

But I do realize that DEMOCRATIC America has to be feeling like the Eli and Peyton Manning's parents when they have to watch an NFL play off game between their sons.

In the beginning of this immensely long primary there was so much joy and hope amongst ALL democrats. We were going to CHANGE things, but good, by god! And so we eliminated all of the "standard candidates" almost immediately.

We left ourselves in an amazing position of having two GREAT candidates, both minorities in different ways.And we knew then that we were going to GET the change we so badly wanted.

We just never really realized the danger. That because these two candidates were different, were each special, each represented the hopes and dreams of millions. And every one of us wanted to fight tooth and nail, day and night, as hard as we could for our hopes and dreams.

And now a part of our problem is that an Obama supporters dream has to come at the expense of a Hillary supporters dream, or the reverse. Because there just can't be two democratic candidates running against McCain in November.

As an Obama supporter, I respect Hillary's supporters. I respect HRC, she ran a hell of a campaign, facing down sexism, and Bill's mouth (sorry, but that guy has hoof and mouth disease sometimes.), and grueling days, and endless nights, and the rollercoaster of victory, defeat, victory again.

Just as I hope HRC supporters can respect Obama supporters. And can hopefully respect Obama too. He ran a hell of a campaign, facing down racism, the Rev. wright's mouth (another hoof and mouther if ever there was one.), and grueling days, and endless nights, and the rollercoaster of victory and defeat, and victory again.

This primary was closer than any other, ever.

We, the bruised and confused democratic voters, can recognize that this was a clash of TITANS from which, regretably only one can emerge a winner, and make this into the most AMAZING primary ever, that leads on to the most amazing democratic WIN in November.

Or we, the bruised and confused democratic voters, can decide that it was a petty and unfair contest of petty and unfair politicians, and can make this into the most DIVISIVE primary ever, that leads directly to the WORST LOSS in democratic history.

But this is up to us. Not Clinton. Not Obama. US.

We have to find a way out of our own anger and into our future. And heck, take a few days, I plan to.

I agree, Clinton doesn't want to be Obama's VP. I also personally don't think she is concerned about who Obama picks!

I think she has another agenda!
