Clinton says she is in it until a nominee is decided. (also a poll on the page if you wish to freep it).

[EGPWS]

Their lust for power and willingness to do anything to get/keep it knows no bounds.

There is a political rhyme and reason to everything with the Clinton's and since politics is their life, you bet they will do ANYTHING to get into the White House!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

LOL! Good one!

Operation Chaos continues

Thought bubble: "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking beer."

[Fawn]

I do hope that is correct......I am so scared that Obama might make it.....but what scares me more is the idea that ‘Americans’ are actually voting for this ‘Anti’-American.

[Fawn]

You know....in that actual scene my uncle was one of them dancing....

[hoagy62]

Does anyone else think that Hillary’s campaign reminds them of the Titanic? In its time, the Titanic was the world’s most modern ship, had the most modern technology, was thought to be the most seaworthy, was thought to be unsinkable, etc.

The question is...what do we name the iceberg? Obama...or Limbaugh?

[plain talk]

I hope she stays in until the dem convention.

[plain talk]

She would have used all she has by now. My theory is that Hillary is waiting to see if Obama falters. If that doesn’t happen she still stays in to secure the dem VP nomination in an attempt to become the first female VP. She waits 8 years to become President. Even if that doesn’t happen she will have secured a place in history as the first female VP. Its a win/win for her to stay in.

That’s all fine but what about my Lucent Technologies stock?

[Dante3]

I doubt Obama is crazy enough to take Hillary for VP. Both of them are too lacking in experience. He needs somebody who has had military experience or who has been a governor. Hillary is also too divisive. And she and Bill will be a big problem for him.

"I guess its just a case of folks thinking if they hope for something strongly enough, it may come true?"

Like Paul supporters.

LOL! To be fair, the same can be said of some McAmnesty supporters who are hoping he'll turn conservative and/or will be somehow be forced to act so after winning.

I never in a million years thought I would say this:

I have a new found respect and admiration for Hillary Clinton. I guess it’s easy to say that about a rabid Tigress when she is behind bars as opposed to a rabid Tigress who is trying to tear my jugular out. Now she is harmless so that might color my opinion.

But I admire her for a few things:

1. Dogged determination and a never say die attitude that embodies the American spirit.
2. Being the only Dem man enough to face Bill O’Reilly and actually answer real questions.
3. Standing next to the extreme Marxist America and capitalist hating Obama, she has managed to look like a moderate and a centrist.
4. She managed to have enough self control and discipline to not Kill Bill like Uma Thurman after the Monica episode because she knew it would hurt her chance to become POTUS. Laugh all you want, but if it was your spouse and your public humiliation, you would have ended up dismembered in a suitcase floating in a river.

She has discipline and a plan. I had absolutely 0 respect for her last year, but now I have a bunch.

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

Yeah, yeah, I know all about the so-called ‘strategy’. I’m telling you I saw with my own eyes no less than six posts here the other night saying they wanted the Clintons back in office because it was the best of the three choices. And there are even MORE on here that want her to get the nomination over Obama. As FReeper luke21 said, I never thought I’d live to see the day this place became a lovefest for the Clintons.

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

It was just on my local news that Michigan is going to give Obama 59 delegates and The Clintons 69.

[Doctor Freeze]

It’s pretty obvious that it is Bush’s fault that Hillary is staying in the race.

[doug from upland]

Thanks for the input. Yes, I know there are some who want either Dem to win to punish the GOP. They think it will be so bad, we will have another Reagan-follows-Carter event. That won’t happen. Our country will be ruined. The next President has to face Iran and Syria. Does anyone trust any Democrat to do that?

I guess I objected to your original assessment of the number of FReepers who want that.

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

I know, I was being facetious, but there are a lot of them here, and it sickens me.

[plain talk]

I doubt Obama is crazy enough to take Hillary for VP. Both of them are too lacking in experience. He needs somebody who has had military experience or who has been a governor. Hillary is also too divisive. And she and Bill will be a big problem for him.

Those are all excellent points. In addition Obama needs someone to get the Regaan democrats - white males. But the top two are so close they may have to cut some deal which may not give Obama as much leeway. But I do generally agree with your accessment that if Obama is given the leeway he would not pick her.

[doug from upland]

It also sickens me. I don’t like McCain one bit. We have to really pressure him. But the thought of either of those socialists who will turn their backs on what we need to finish is unthinkable.
