He'll be uninsurable if Hillary is his VP.
Somebody send Obama Ron Brown’s bio...
And, stay away from Fort Marcy Park!
It's lose-lose. If McCain wins, she was on the losing ticket. If Obama wins, she's stuck in a worthless job.
She'll support Obama 1000% this fall. Then, when he carries DC, she'll start gearing up for 2012.
Or 2-1/2 terms as President.
She will put on her happy face in Denver, and will do everything she can behind the scenes to insure an Obama defeat, then will run again 2012 after Obama gets waxed. She is by far the more electable of the two of them. She knows it. Obama knows it. Most of the Dem party is probably waking up to that realization by now too (despite their utter stupidity). She can't alienate the black vote though, so she has to grin and bear it, and wait for 4 more years, saying "I told you so" the entire time between now and then.
I agree that he has to pick her. It’s the only chance he has of winning and the Hussein/Shrillary union will lead to an immediate double digit lead IMO.
The script has been written:
-Hillraisers cause a furor and continue to hold Hussein down.
-Obama states: “For the good of the Party and America your voices have been heard”
-Media clammers “Dream Ticket” and Bubba banging interns for 80 days.
-Obambi gets away with another Flip
-Scraps the “Change” and “Hope” in favor of SOP DC politics.
-Sen. Cankles shares the T-Lock Box with Michelle and further emasculates a total wussy Dem.
-We all give 50% of our earnings to the Government.
That’s a wrap!
Plausible scenario except for the unknown ‘X’ factor: when push comes to cankles, will Obambi be able to stomach the idea of sharing his campaign and (potentially) the WH with the CLINTONS..... it’s always possible, even probable, that he’ll draw the line there and decide he’d rather run a greater risk of losing than have the Clintonista circus right smack in the middle of his life. Michelle, especially, may flip out at the idea of being in the middle of any more Clintonista drama.
The Dims can't help it. They are effed up in the head...... (slightly) worse than the RNC.
Michelle flipped out many years ago, to the extent that she can flip no further.
The missing factor, imo, is the time factor. How long until Obummer is mysteriously whacked and HRBJC take over the oval office again. Will they have to install two desks? And who will be under Hill’s?
Better for her to campaign four more years as “the one who could have won” than to fade away as part of another, losing ticket.
It’s gonna be Webb. Navy Cross winner, principaled (sp?) SECNAV, former Republican, battleground state, doesn’t have more Senate time than him - Webb helps BHO and would represent change & new way in Washington.
EXACTLY! 2 1/2 terms.......Obama would be shown to be STUPID if he picked her.
Webb or Weasley Clark.
He has no choice. He cannot beat McCain without her. He either sticks to his guns and loses, or concedes to the Clintons.
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING.
If he did, she would most likely accept and shortly after the convention she would release whatever live boys/dead women info she has on him.
Because she doesn't want VP, she will likely release her info before the convention.
I really hope he picks Biden.
Well, Hill would be President, so Slick would have to be happy with Madame President's seconds...
This is the kind of stuff that happens when your party is run by an abject moron like Howard Dean. The GOP has a lot of problems, and I'm fairly disgusted with them and their inability or unwillingness to fight the Dems tooth and nail on issues, but compared to the cluster flop which is the Dem leadership, they look like the frigging founding fathers.
A year ago, a Dem winning the White House was a foregone conclusion among a vast majority of the populace, with the only real debate being about how many seats in Congress they'd win or lose. Today, their candidate is trailing in the polls, doing terrible in debates, and generally looking unelectable. lol. Only the Dims could screw up such an easy win so badly.
That's what they get for being so in love with leftism, and being so out of touch with America. They thought this was their best chance to install a blatant marxist in a slam dunk win, and they just might blow it. They overestimated the hate that America has for the GOP when compared to the hate America has for blatant leftist Dem militants.
The Dem party is easily one of the biggest collection of idiot miscreants in world history. They only continue to survive due to the propagandist media, which no longer has a monopoly on news information. If they can't win THIS year, they're sooooooo screwed.
This election is not only about defeating Obama, it's about fracturing the entire Democrat party, hopefully beyond recognition. It's already halfway done, and they did it to themselves by coronating Obama over Hillary. I think it's possible to finish the job with a McCain win, at least imo.
See the posting “The “Nominate Hillary Movement” Is Alive And Well (...well, “Well” is hard to use describing HRC)” here on FR for their possible operational plan.
WHY on earth would she accept? I can see zero reason for her to agree to this.
Half a loaf better than none.
Right now she has nothing. She is a loser. If she is VP, at least she’s close to the throne. If offered VP, she will take it.
Barry must be concerned about his floundering. He needs help. She offers that help.
It is a time-honored tradition in politics to call your primary opponents every name in the book - and then come together and joyfully hug in sincere unity. I expect that to happen in Denver.
Not if the loaf is moldy and spoiled.
She waits 4 years for a fresh loaf that she owns completely and has to share with no one.
We’ll see. :-)
