If Hillary is “gone” in March, who is the DNC’s VP?

Hillary

[webheart]

oooh maybe a brokered convention, Hillary, Obama and McCain all vying for the Democratic nomination...

Or maybe Al Gore will step forward to claim his crown, and cruise to an easy win over McCain. He has the most experience of all of them. I was wrong about Edwards being the nominee, so maybe I'm wrong here too.

Of course, it takes two lawyers (Hill and Bill) to conjure up such a maneuver. This will play well with the Obama crowd - NOT!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Another Democratic source who was privy to the often intense discussions confirmed that representatives of the New York senator's campaign had issued veiled threats in a telephone call this week.

That would be Howard Wolfson!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Why has she waited until five days before the primary to do this?

Typical lawyer tactics, of course. Gives the other side less time to prepare a response.

[Maine Mariner]

But won’t the votes of Texas be really PO?
This sound like a tactic of someone who already knows she has lost.

The Clinton campaign strategy had a timeline that began January 2007 with her announcement and ended February 5—Super Tuesday after which Edwards and Obama would drop out. The news media was supposed to defend the Clinton Brand but they fell in love along the way with Barack. The “Machine” ran out of speeches, money and tactics after that. Hillary’s strategists never believed Texas—as important as it is—would be a factor because they thought only Hillary would still be running. Now they realize they don’t have enough local talent to staff and manipulate the Texas caucuses.

Oh be still my beating heart...

[DogandPonyShow]

I urge all to vote for Hillary in TX, OH, VT and RI on Tuesday and prop Hillary up a little longer.

One thing Texans don’t abide is some carpetbagger trying to strong-arm them in court.

She’s Toast.

[OKIEDOC]

Real Texans have been diluted over the years by Yankee immigration from the North.

However, here still should be enough Texans with common sense to see that she really is a scheming conniving political hack.

As I have said for some time Hillary Clinton and the Clinton machine would in my opinion stoop to tactics that would make the Jack Booted Brown Shirts blush.

[sima_yi]

I agree; Hillary! They would have a ready-made campaign slogan: “Vote Obama-Hillary! in 2008, or you’re a racist, sexist pig!”

[sockmonkey]

I urge all to vote for Hillary in TX, OH, VT and RI on Tuesday and prop Hillary up a little longer.

The Republican Primary process in TX is a lot more straightforward then the one the Democrats in TX use.

In the process the Dems use in TX, only 3/4 of the actual votes cast count towards the candidate, and the other 1/4 are decided by the caucus delegates..so, depending on whether Hillary or Obama has the best turnout at the Precinct Meetings, that 25% may decide who takes TX.

When you look at the Hillary supporters in TX, they tend to be older working class stiffs, heavily hispanic, the Obama crowd is a lot younger, and probably has no problem staying up all night to dominate the local precinct meetings after the polls close next Tuesday.

So it all seems very rigged on the Democratic side in TX as far as the process that is followed.

[MindBender26]

A serious question:

Name one, just one thing Hillary would NOT stoop to doing to gain or retain power?

Can any of us name just one?

[If Hillary is “gone” in March, who is the DNC’s VP?]

Hillary

I have heard this put forth, but no way Obama wants a 'co-President' and the Clintons around.

Moreover, she would only bring out conservatives in droves to vote against her.

[billhilly]

“Even if she LOSES the General, the Clinton’s continue to be the defacto heads of the Party...”

Maybe so, but just look where their heads are now. In that famous farewell position.

It's as good a theory as any from what I can see, and it has some plausiblity to it.
