| So would you still vote for Obama if he teamed up with HER? Posted: 6/5/2008 6:41:07 PM | I read lots of posts emphatically declaring that Obama should not team up with Hilliary, and someone asked a question in one of the other threads that no one answered and it got me wondering.
So, Let's say Obama decides that yes Hilliary is just the person he wants to team up with. He can be the big man and put the last 9 months behind him, and welcome her to be his VP. Would you STILL vote for him? Or would your feelings for her send you over to vote for McCain? | |

Posted: 6/5/2008 6:48:06 PM | After all the gracious things he's said about her at the beginning of every speech I don't think he's the one who needs to put anything behind him. I'd vote for them but I'd also have to buy one of those Hillary dart boards.

I'd prefer him choose someone else because she has so much baggage which could pose a liability. She contradicts his "change" platform. If he picks her then I would infer that he is vulnerable to the power players in Washington. I'm hoping that he will be able to stand up to the fat cats and the corrput nature of the political machines. | |

Posted: 6/5/2008 6:57:48 PM | | I can't believe Hilary Clinton is even thinking about the VP spot...She has much more class than that and I don't think she should stoop so low. She's best to stay where she's at right now and have Obama pick another candidate for VP. I don't think Obama/Clinton would make a good team. I'm a Hilary Clinton fan and will not vote for Obama no matter if he makes her is VP or not. She should not take a back seat to him and just "settle" for 2nd best. I look forward to seeing her run again in 2012 or best yet maybe Condaliza Rice running in 2012... | |

if he could put the past behind him and move on from there? She is the deranged one, not him. The only thing he should try to put behind him is her but he needs her and her hubby to campaign for him so he'll promise her a cushy job but not VP. I hope.

Wannaluv, thank you for your honesty. I appreciate it. Is there anything he could do to get you to you change your mind and vote for him, or is it just no way? | |

She is the deranged one
Deranged: to throw into confusion; to disturb; to make insane
Pray tell, what is your beef "about" Senator Clinton? What "issue" has you all out of sorts to call her deranged? And what about that "issue" do you see Senator Obama changing for the better? | |

Posted: 6/5/2008 7:16:05 PM | She needs to lie back and explain all her comments about assasinations to someone and explain her altered states of reality. She's nearing Bush territory, talking about winning long after she'd lost and not even understanding that she needed to concede and congratulate Obama for winning the nomination.

| So would you still vote for Obama if he teamed up with HER? Posted: 6/5/2008 7:17:15 PM | Didn't want to start a whole new thread just to post the following thoughts...and since this thread is about Obama and H. Clinton... I figured I'd put em here.
On this 'secret' meeting b/w Obama and H. Clinton tonight....
The news is saying Obama will have to do something to obtain some of the population in the General Election.... some mind you.... ready....get this...
1. The blue collar vote 2. The elderly vote 3. The Hispanic vote
Not much other 'groups' left except for the elite rich. Since all Ethnicities and Ages are pretty much included in the blue collar. But, yes, Obama will get the majority of the African American vote... both blue and white collar and McCain will get most of the Caucasian Males.
Wow! Obama has a lot of work cut out for himself and the Dem. party. See.. what people are pushing aside on the Obama mania going on right now..is this was a Democrat Primary... not the General Election....
It's a dicey situation. | |

| So would you still vote for Obama if he teamed up with HER? Posted: 6/5/2008 8:32:38 PM | I will be voting for Obama regardless of his VP choice. Absolutely I will too. You might say I am the opposite of a Neo-Con. I have read (for what any of that is worth), that many Neo-Cons are burned out liberals. Well I am a burned out Conservative. Bush has destroyed any confidence I had in them. At this point, nothing can make me vote for John McCain. | |

Posted: 6/5/2008 8:47:46 PM | If they told me I'd have to live all of '09 on a North Korean peasant workers' rations, I wouldn't vote McCain. Obama could put just about anyone on his VP ticket (short of perhaps Farrakhan or Sharpton... ) and I'm still with him. In any case I don't really *dislike* all that much about any of Hillary's policy proposals. She and Obama are on the "same team" at the end of the day. She's still an old 60's protester and radical at heart (and I admire that in her). I just favor Obama more because, A) I feel we need fresh blood in DC (no more Bushes OR Clintons), B) I personally feel he's more presidential and MUCH more charismatic and likeable, and C) she voted in favor of the Iraq invasion in '03 whereas Obama was against it from the start and made speeches against it at the time. I feel so strongly "anti" about the Iraq invasion (and have from the outset) that I wasn't able to honestly support anyone who'd voted in favor of it initially -- even though she has changed her mind about it now. | |

If Bush had NOT decided to invade you'd all be going "oh, what a wuss"...So, basically he was damned if he did and he was damned if he didn't..If he "didn't", we'd be discussing WHY NOT......She didn't change her mind, she just said (and I agree) that we left them there TOO long and we need to bring "our" troops back now...Their wars need to be fought amongst themselves.Let them kill each other..They have been for hundreds of years now...We have our own wars to fight here in AMERICA. It was a "Good" decision initially but now has gotten out of control...Obama will "not" make a difference...McCain might but I'm not betting any bottom dollar on it. I'm not voting for either at this stage. | |

There are a lot of seventy year olds who are wishing that MLK could be alive to enjoy this. | |

^^^ Uh, no, we wouldn't... Or at least I sure wouldn't... I can't of course speak for the other 67% of the nation that disapproves of the job he's done. | |

No, I don't..I'm a firm believer that this country would do just as well with a black/white or any nationality president but the millions of blacks in this country that are voting for obama are only voting because he's black...They know "not" what they are getting themselves into or for what he stands for...I would love nothing better to see any nationality "run" this country and above all I would love for A WOMAN TO RUN IT. I think a woman would make more a difference than a MAN and I said it years ago Hilary would make a good "President"....and MLK would be turning over in his grave to think that "a True American" would only vote a black in because of his color because MLK DID NOT STAND "FOR THAT". He was an optimist at best and had a dream and the dream was NOT for any american to vote because of "COLOR". | |

They see something more like hope in him, which they haven't seen in ages. Do you see the masses of youth and others this excited in this country over a politician very often?? That you think it's because of color people are interested in him speaks more to your own personal inner feelings, it has to. And no "nationality" , as you kept saying, except for American-born can "run" this country.. | |

How the hell do you know? Have you polled every black person in the country? | |
