Hillary Clinton

Hillary would make the best VP and help Obama win . I don't know why there is any question about this..lets see some mature decesion on Obamas part.

Hillary Clinton for vice president

Hillary must be the democratic vice president nominee. She will be the only reason I would vote for Obama. I don't have racism in me and never will. I have many friends of all faiths, political associations, and of all races.

I am offended to have my character judged if I am not for Obama I must be a "racist" it is simply offensive and not true.

I am for Hillary and always will. I will only vote for the ticket if Hillary is on it.

Obama is an arrogant and has little experience.He needs someone who does have that experience and Hillary is the only choice.

I think Obama Should wait a few years and get some experience. I am also interested that Obama has changed his views on many issue, guns the war ect..

I could ramble on but I will not vote for president if Hillary is out.

Hillary VP

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for VP

Such political capital must not be squandered. And so we are urging Hillary Clinton to accept the vice presidential slot from Barack Obama.

Wh ile it’s true that New Yorkers would be losing a senator, we would be gaining a vice president. How better to make sure the concerns of New York City—where Mrs. Clinton has many associates, where Chelsea Clinton lives and works, where former President Bill Clinton has an office—are given a front-row seat in Washington? After years in which the Bush administration has all but ignored New York, in post-9/11 funds as in much else, the advocate New York would have in a Vice President Hillary Clinton would be remarkable. And what better way to make sure Washington draws upon our city’s talent pool to fill key Obama administration jobs? (We don’t want Chicago to get all the perks, do we?) And the last time New Yorkers had a hand in a Democratic administration in Washington, the national economy did very nicely, thank you.

We are also confident that, just as she confounded the avalanche of outdated expectations about how a female candidate for the presidency would overcome the odds, Hillary Clinton would likewise enlarge and invigorate the office of the vice presidency, using her experience, deft political skills and command of issues to create a new model for the office, much more hands-on and deeply involved in foreign and domestic policy, and less preoccupied with the ceremonial duties that have typically accrued to vice presidents. Mr. Obama has shown enthusiasm for a new style of governing; having a vice president of Mrs. Clinton’s capabilities and experience would go a long way toward effecting real change in Washington.

In accepting the vice presidential spot on the ticket, Mrs. Clinton would also offer an immediate, and painless, way to unite the Democratic Party. The dust and smoke from the vigorous primary would vanish overnight, as the best and brightest from both campaigns would find common cause in making the Democratic case to the American voter. And an Obama-Clinton ticket would result in massive, unprededented turnout in November.

Again, we’re not eager to lose Mrs. Clinton as a senator. But the country needs a tough, brilliant New Yorker in the White House.

HIlary Clinton for Vice President

Although I and many Californians believe Hilary should be the democratic nominee and eventually the President next year; we see that is not going to happen. As we all know Obama can NOT win this election without the backing of the clintons. PResident Clinton was a very popular president in the 90's and hilary clinton could bring that popularity to Obamas campaign if she is choosen as Vice President. Also, America had the largest economic growth in 30 years when CLinton was president, Hilary can also bring this to the ticket and eventually help america get out of our recession. Hilary can bring Obama Florida (one of the most important swing states) and the women vote(which is the largest swing area). California is 100% behind Hilary as V.P. and Obama should think wisely and choose her as V.P.

Obama/Hilary 08' {dream ticket}

Hillary for Vice President

I can't believe what I am reading here. There is no way I would switch party lines, because of Obama's vp choice. I have never seen the country in such a mess. Which brings me to Bill Clinton. Has everyone got amnesia?The defecit was eliminated. Our economy was strong and I don't recall paying 4.00/gal for gasoline which obviously has affected the price of everything else. I think both Obama and Hillary are strong, intelligent and are in agreement as to what this country needs to move forward. I hope he chooses her for all obvious reasons. I don't see how they can fuel this much animosity with their own supporters. HIm for choosing her and her for accepting. Good grief people could we be any worse off than we are now. I think not.

Barrack won the Battle but not the War

Barrack Obama you won the Battle but not the War. The battle, winning the Democratic nomination. The War, winning the presidency without Hillary Clinton as vice president.

The Question I would like to ask Barrack Obama is do you really think that all those Clinton voters, which is about 18 million are going to vote for you for president. If you really want to turn this country around and unite the Democratic Party and WIN the presidency not just the Democratic nomination I believe you must offer Hillary Clinton the position of Vice President. You won the Democratic nomination so congratulations are in order. I’m also confident if Hillary Clinton is not offered the position of Vice President there will be no congratulations for you or the Democratic Party in November. One interesting thought you should concider. In my state of Oregon I know for a fact that large amount of republicans voted for you in the primary but intend to vote for McCain in the general election. This was simply a protest vote because the republicans are afraid of Hillary. So a big portion of the votes you thought you received are all for not. Your votes have automatically dwindled and we haven’t started yet, then you subtract according to the polls 17% of the voters who will vote for McCain and another 22 % will simply not vote for you if Hillary Clinton is not on the Demorcratic ticket as vice president. So figure out the math. Do you really think if approximately 39 to 40 % of democrates not voting for you is enough to win (Not counting the protest votes you thought you had)? Are you going to be the type of president that tells us “just simmer down it will be O.K.?” Please, please carefully heed what Hillary supporters are saying and take us Serious.

We are not just a bunch of bitter small town Americans. I myself and a large portion of Democrats will either switch party lines or simply not vote for you without Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Obama, please don't lose this race. "Obama & Clinton"

United we must stand. Please Mr. Obama do not ignore the 18 million votes that Ms. Clinton brought in. I know many people that will not vote for you without her.

Make this the greatest race ever, I am sure that you and her will compliment each other once you start your new jobs. She will know your place, and she will know her place or where you want her to be. I know she will be loyal to you and the party.

You have just come out of an competative race, never the less, be a great example for all, for the world, that despite our conflicts we can work them out and move on. Don't lose the democratic race for the wrong reasons. As as minority female, I would love to see you as our next president and a female in the executive office. You can make this happen with you and Ms. Clinton as the dream ticket. I am not so sure what will happen to this country's economy if we continue under the republican domain.

Please don't lose this race!!!

Democatic we stand!!!

No Hell No To Hill

I wouldn't trust her. Period! She is going to undermine him every chance she gets and she will be the president within a short time. Maybe a position such as Secretary of Defense, or Speaker of The House.....but not Vice President.

If he does pick her, he will be going against everything that the Obama brand stands for.

Don't Do It Mr. Obama
