If Obama picks someone OTHER than Clinton, would you support the ticket?

Poll question: If Obama picks someone OTHER than Clinton, would you support the ticket?

[ruggerson]

1. Of course

I noticed you haven't responded to the original thread, however.

[scheming daemons]

3. I voted...... I'm voting for Obama no matter who he picks

The level of enthusiasm goes up or down, but I'd never NOT vote for him.

[saltpoint]

2. Yes.

[David Zephyr]

4. I will crawl to the polls to vote for Barack Obama regardless of who his VP is.

And I will continue to donate to his campaign and turn my offices over to phone banking for him in the Fall as I have done for decades.

Anyone here who won't support Obama doesn't belong here.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. I was just sorta planning to drive there.

And do my drinking later.

[babylonsister]

9. Ditto that...

:rofl:

[David Zephyr]

12. LOL.

If you see me on all fours, pick me up.

[lojasmo]

5. of course.

[DianaForRussFeingold]

Certainly!

[BobRossi]

7. The only way I would vote for him.

If he picks someone other than Hillarious.

[jobycom]

10. So you will vote for McCain if he picks Clinton?

Or stay home, or whatever. Same thing.

So are you going to leave DU if he picks Clinton?

[Dollface]

11. Who would you vote for in that case? Just curious.

[BobRossi]

19. NOTA

[Dollface]

23. That makes me sad. How will you feel if McCain wins?

[MadMaddie]

8. Of course I would support the ticket

It's the "Democratic" ticket and that's that.

[TheDebbieDee]

13. Yes, I will support the ticket..........

as long as he doesn't pick a repuke!

[scheming daemons]

14. Wow.... only three honest PUMAs so far. Good to see.

[IndianaJones]

15. yeah, I'd hold my nose and vote for the ticket. nt.

[City Lights]

16. Obama has my vote no matter who he picks. nt

[highplainsdem]

17. Yes, but I'd give him very little chance of beating McCain. And I'd consider his deciding against a

unity ticket incredibly bad judgment on his part, a mistake that would leave me very worried about the sort of people he'd surround himslf with if by some greatly reduced chance he won in November.

I'd feel he'd completely failed his first major test.

I'd feel much less enthusiasm voting for him than I felt even voting for Walter Mondale.

I'd vote for him ONLY because I've always voted Democratic.

But I'd expect him to lose...and I'd blame him for the loss, for failing to unite the party, despite ALL the signs from the polls that he needed a unity ticket to make a victory over McCain most likely.

And I would not be the only one blaming him for that loss, if he loses. Because if you think the media will forget the polls showing a unity ticket would be a good idea -- including the poll showing which VP choice Democratic delegates and superdelegates favored -- you're kidding yourself. The meme will be that Obama didn't feel confident enough to have Clinton on the ticket, or was still harboring ill will toward her from the primaries, and he threw away the Democratic Party's best chance of winning, in a year when we should have won.


Editing to add that I am STILL hoping Obama will be wise enough to choose Clinton as his running mate. I have to hope that -- we need to win. Time is running out for dealing with too many crises. And that is why it makes me so angry to read messages here from people who don't want the unity ticket most experts can see is our best chance of winning.

[elkston]

26. Ever consider the possibility that he asked her and she said no? n/t

[MercutioATC]

18. Yes, wholeheartedly.

I don't want Clinton anywhere near the ticket.

[cynatnite]

20. Yes, I would, but I'm not confident he'd win without her n/t

[BlueJazz]

21. I think he should pick a Babboon

..Then when the Right-wing makes jokes, He can say:
"Oh, I see...You can have a Monkey but the Democrats can't ???"

[redistributer]

22. I'd support Obama no matter what

Victory comes first. If we don't like the VP choice, we can change him/her in 2012.

[TheKentuckian]

24. I don't care who is on the ticket

I'll be voting Democrat.

I'm a mild flight risk with Lieberman but no worries there.

I'm on record as being down with Hillary being the nominee (and we know I'm not a strong Hillary backer).

Give me a monkey with Ouija board and an old crackhead with a magic 8 ball with (D) next to their name and I'm still in.

I'm shocked and very frightened that I live in a country that would give ANY Republican a passing thought after the last 8 years and a Democrat can expect NOTHING but hatred and anger from me for such a stupid sin against America.

If you support the fascists then you shouldn't be ashamed to be lumped in with them.

[27inCali]

25. so who are the 5 assholes who'd stay home

and what the fuck are they doing here with us Dems?

[elmoose]

27. yah

[krawhitham]

28. I'll vote for Obama unless he picks ...

a Rethug, so I'm pretty sure I'll be voting for Obama
