1. No Hillary supporter here knows the answer to that

unless Bill and Chelsea frequent DU, which I doubt.

4. there are about 5 paid Hillary staffers on DU and they just know about caucuses

they haven't been given talking points about the VP spot. They are still in it to win it!!

8. Actually, they DON'T know about caucuses either.

They only know insane talking points from a Hillary teleconference.

5. I'll respect any decision she makes in regards

to the race.I honestly don't know if she'd be willing to take it or not.All politicians consider the vice presidency based on future plans,I think it depends on whether it would work to her favor or not.

15. I agree with you. I feel that the powerful forces that they have been channeling toward each other

Edited on Sat May-17-08 01:15 PM by virtualobserver

have been astonishing....., if they were both to focus on the Republicans, it would be amazing.

In a history class, I once read of the european reaction to the civil war, and their fear of the military power of the United States after watching our battle against ourselves.

In a similar way, the Republicans have been watching Barack and Hillary battle it out, and know that together they would be very powerful.

18. The Civil War analogy is a good one.

Northerners and southerners set about building the Transcontinental Railroad almost immediately after the war,an incredible endeavor to most of the rest of the world.

11. I am sure that she would gladly take it. That is.....

in the HIGHLY UNLIKELY event that Obama is given the nomination.

12. yes

I think Hill would make a great VP. I'd imagine both her and Obama's noses are a bit out of joint as of late, but I think she should go for it if asked. I feel it would really unite the Dems, and enlarge the base. With spots open for Edwards and other Dem leaders, there's a chance for the change which Obama promises.

13. Probably

It'd be historic and set her up well to run for president in the future.

And yes, I'd support it because I think she's the best choice - both for campaigning and for governing.

16. I really doubt that she wants it

And no I do not support it. It's a terrible pairing.
