Hillary Clinton, Madame Vice President

Cut the Clintons Loose

The big test for Obama's integrity is yet to come. Will he cut loose the corrupt Clintons, or will he pander to he supporters by putting her in the Cabinet or Vice-Presidency. Obama supporters must demand that Obama cut ties with the Clinton Dynasty. No positions, no perks, no honors for the standard bearers of the "old politics."

Mayor of Guam

I'm pushing Hillary for Mayor of Guam. It was her narrow loss in Guam that started the falling dominoes. There is a little known fact, something like the Bermuda Triangle, but about elections -- a loss in Guam is like being lost in the Triangle. If the Clintons don't go to Guam immediately and accept the offices of King and Queen for the next four years, Hillary will mysteriously disappear -- and reappear in the 2048 presidential elections, wearing the same yellow leisure suit. If Hillary serves as Queen of Guam for four years, she will win the 2012 Presidential Election. I guarantee it.

Hilliary as VP?

No! I'm an elderly white female Republican who's thinking seriously about voting for Obama. If there's even a smell of a Clinton on the Democratic ticket, I'll go back to McCain.

Hillary as VP only makes sense if Obama is a phony

Hillary as VP only makes sense if Obama is a phony. If he means what he has been saying about changing Washington, then he has to start with skipping what the "insiders" and conventional wisdom folks want.

And while I think it was said as a joke, I heard on one news cable show the line that will always stick in my mind. When asked...should Obama take Hillary as his VP, the response was "not unless he wants to go through his Presidency with a taste-tester". Anyone who has read Machievelli would appreciate that one.

Obama/Gore '08.

Hillorrist the suicide bomber?

No thanks.

Vice President

Can you run on a platform of 'change' and bring the Clintons back in?

Can you really separate Hillary and Bill?

Can you really invite back into the White House...the same family that brought more disgace and scandal, along with a few good intiatives, to the Presidency than any other in our brief history?

Think people.

Hillary and 2012

The problem is that Hillary understands that Obama's chance of losing this year's election to McCain is very high and President McCain would be 76 year old in 2013, meaning he will most likely not seek his second term. With Obama out of her way after his November defeat(No second chance for Obama either), nothing stands in her way of 2012 Democratic nomination, barring Al Gore's interest in seeking presidency to save the planet from global warming.

Had McCain been in his 60s, Hillary might take the bait, but not when she's looking at a probable one-termer.

Obama-Clinton

NO WAY should Senator Obama pick Mrs. Clinton as his running mate -- he'd also get stuck with Bill, and Bill Clinton is the number one reason I would NOT vote for Hillary as President. My suggestion for VEEP for Senator Obama is Nancy Pelosi -- she has experience and has shown great character by advising superdelegates not to override the voice of the people by ignoring the winner of the popular vote/delegate count. And also in her favor, is the Nancy Pelosi does not bring the negative political baggage that Hill and Bill will from their previous administration.

Please, No Hillary VP

As an ardent Obama supporter, I would be extremely disappointed if HRC was picked as the VP choice.

That would just spoil his ticket. She's ran a horrible and NASTY campaign and I can't see them getting together.

After all, she's the one who brought Pastor Wright to us, not the GOP.

Hillary and vice presidency

I think that Hillary should not go for the vice-presidency because she deserves to be the president. The process to get the chrism is complicated, something that favored Sen Obama.

Hillary is not born to be no 2 and she should avoid that.

I am from Greece as well and I live in UK. I would have to admit that I have never been fond of Mr G. Stephanopoulos. After all, if the economists knew everything, why didn't they predict the global food crisis, the oil price and even more, why don't they come with a viable plan of how to overcome all of these?

Hillary is right when she finds it unecessary to agree with the economists because she is more experience as a senator and she is practical rather than a theoritician, like most of the economists. They'd rather come up with a good plan than disagree with Hillary.

Sincerely,

Katerina
