ATTENTION!!Jonathan Alter: This is now about the VP slot Hillary wants to be asked for the slot

He was on Big Ed show and he said basically the Clinton campaign wants to hold the Obama campaign hostage on that VP slot.Threatening them with there MILLION PEOPLE VOTE thats why they keep saying Obama can't win the big states.Giving them the hint put Hillary on the ticket and your problems will go away. I'm sick of these Clinton's threatening people.

God, every day she gets worse. It's unbelievable. I used to have to explain to people why I was opposed to Clinton in the 2006 Senate primary. They just didn't get it. Now they do.

...like a human bull dozer is going to get her on the ticket?

She doesn't know Obama.

I really think Barack needs to go west of the Mississippi. Strickland would not guarantee Ohio. And Richardson, Clark, and Schweitzer all have better resumes...

and Wesley Clark doesn't impress me he became a total joke in 04. He was a bad candidate and having a bad VP candidate won't help Obama

And both are much more colorful than Strickland...

happened to Obama, he'd become Pres and I'm sure he'd appoint his good buddy Hill as VP. So we'd be right back where we started from (corporate interests controlling Washington).

We cannot let them get away with this.

eom

She's going to hold the entire Democratic party hostage, and thwart our nominee's
chances--unless she's given the vp slot?

First, she doesn't deserve it.

Let her throw her temper tantrum. She'll make a fool out of herself, and
destroy her credibility enough, that she'll have absolutely no credibility whatsoever.

Unbelievable.

First, she was entitled to the Presidency, now it's being circulated that she feels
she's also entitled to be the vice president.

I don't know how to react anymore. I'm all out of outrage, and my eye muscles are
tired from rolling my eyes.

The only person who behaves with the same level of brazen, myopic immaturity--is George Bush.

I'm so tired of being spot on. Some days, I can ignore Hillary's disgusting nature.
Other days, I'm really frustrated.

I just heard one of the pundits on CNBC say that her campaign is saying now that they
will stay in until the end--because she's going to demonstrate that she can win more
popular vote--when all is said and done.

At least Mike Huckabee had some grace and dignity.

And to think I actually felt sorry for her after IN and NC. Now, all I want is a payoff
for all of this emotional grief. I want to see her concession speech--and I will not
feel guilty for popping some corn and feeling very satisfied when I finally see her
forced to make that speech.

don't get how no one just calls BULLSHIT on it once and for all. It leaves me angry, disgusted with the Democratic Party and appalled that I can still get SO wrapped up in something I really have little control over. I swore I'd leave that behind in 2000 - and 2004 - but here I am again.

Like you, waiting for a concession speech so I feel like I can breathe again. I take heart knowing I'm not alone :-)

:hug: :hug:

...people--millions--who feel the same way.

The good news is that each day--she has fewer arguments for staying in.

It's almost over.

Her fiscal irresponsibility with her campaign finances would discredit any
ticket that included her.

All the negative things she has put out on Obama that would be used against him in the GE! How could she be the VP when she has said publicly that her and McCain have the experience to be president, but all Obama has is a "speech"? The ads the republicans would put out using that would sink them if she were the VP

everything Amy Poehler said is true.

The irony is thick.

Since my vote for Kucinich in January didn't matter to the Democratic Party, I guess it won't matter in November either. How many "Fuck You"s am I supposed to take?
:shrug: :eyes:

Let the RNC repurpose months of Hillary explaining why Obama isn't worth shit in a handbag. They'll be so grateful they won't have to rip out their own kitchen sink to throw at him. And we'll get to enjoy the spectacle of Clinton tapdancing at light speed, she didn't really mean what she said. Yeah, that'll work. Go home, Hillary.

I got the joke.

:-)

I don't understand why people don't understand this.

If she's on the ticket in either spot she will breathe life into a demoralized GOP.

And I don't trust, nor like, bullies. I envision her undermining President Obama at every opportunity.

She's trashed her reputation during primary season. :thumbsdown:

on both of them.

That would be a mess.

Please no 3 am phone calls, please!

Since when has the MSM been pro-Democrat? They aren't starting now.

The Clintons are becoming a big, threatening drag on the Democratic party. The DNC or the Democratic Party leaders need to tell them to stuff their extortion. They're as thuggish as Republicans.

They need the likes of Pelosi and Kennedy to stand firm on their position that it's a bad idea. They know better than anyone else from the inside out.

Hopefully Hillary is burning up her political capital faster than she can cash in on it. Why don't they take their $109MM and do something philanthropic?

This desperate need to get back into or near the WH by hook or by crook on both their parts is disturbing.

I'd do a cartoon, but I'm busy...

she knows that her name on the ticket would hurt congressional races and
would greatly harm Obama's chances.

More from the kitchen sink.

Wow, it really is over.

when 30 seconds have passed, obama folk will be in here posting that she is trying to give the election to mccain. DAMN! All I can say, name me another person obama could chose and bring with them millions of votes?

I know obama wants to be like al gore is own man. Gore did not use WJC in the election because AL was afraid the GOP would use the monica incident against him. The american people gave Gore the go ahead as WJC after the impeachment was from 69 to 72% favorable as doing his job as President. The american people separated the two, but Gore was so afraid and of course he wanted to be his own man.

Now obama will be faced if he gets the nomination with about the same issue. Of course obama wants to be his own man and set a course he wishes but he will need the help of HRC and to a lesser degree WJC, but he WILL NEED THEM BOTH......

If obama wants to win this damn thing then he better either have HRC on board as VP or give one hell of a speech and tell his supporters neither Clinton are racists and he better sell it.

Quotes: "Obama continues to have particular difficulty with white working-class voters." (damn, is that racist are what?) another one to digest."In the most recent WashPo-ABC poll, white Democrats with a college degree preferred Obama by 59 percent. But white Democrats without a college degree preferred Obama by 36 percent."

So, in the non-degree white majority, only 36% will vote for Obama? Does that make anyone else a little nervous?

If Obama loses, I'll get post after post saying, "Why didn't you warn us that the Democrats were going off a cliff?"

gimme 30 seconds to find you and I'll tell you he dodged a bullet. I know your self-made fantasy gives you the happy shivers, but it's just a fantasy. As usual. And no, no one will give you shit about not warning us about the cliff. You're not the linchpin of DU. You're barely part of the wallpaper.

She will get nothing.
