Clinton/Clark 08.

[Maddy McCall]

What I'd give for that to be our Democratic ticket this year.





What do other Hillary supporters think? Who'd you like to see as Hillary's VP?


(If the trolls hit this thread, as they inevitably will, just ignore them, and don't fall into their disruption trap.)

[Kittycat]

1. Great - as long as she gets 65% of the total vote on Tuesday, then wins the rest.

[rodeodance]

19. Thank you for your concern

[boston bean]

24. you Obama supporters are political lightweights. Since when does a primary

end when one candidate says it does.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

2. Love it. Hope for it!

:kick:

[Maddy McCall]

5. I feel that this will be the ticket.

An unbeatable combination. :)

[liberalnurse]

74. That makes sense going up against a GOP

War Monger-Veteran. Great balance too. Clark is also brilliant. He also has barnstormed with the campaign for Hillary. He is earning a spot as well...Lots of positives.

[ButterflyBlood]

3. Hillary will not be on any ticket this election

So forget about it.

[writes3000]

7. Hey, how about leaving this thread for the Clinton supporters? n/t

[Trajan]

9. That isnt how it works here ....

As much as I detest such negativity here, your response is just feeding the scavengers ....

[rodeodance]

31. Thank you for your concern

[Maddy McCall]

14. Ignore is a beautiful thing.

I can't see what that person posted. Please use the ignore function against the trolls.

:)

[Yael]

66. There is a Hillary forum for that

:shrug:

[rodeodance]

29. Your crystal ball is broken--they are on sale at the dollar story--go for it.

[liberalnurse]

79. No, I won't do that now

and I am working 18 hour days here in Ohio for Hillary!

[Rock_Garden]

4. How could any Hillary supporter not like that ticket? Elegant.

[liberalnurse]

82. First Class!

It has balance! I feel safe. America will feel safe. Either one of them could answer the phone at 3AM....Hillary will call General Clark and or he will call her at 3AM.

[Trajan]

6. Sounds good to me ....

As good as Obama-Clark ....

[cali]

8. I'd gladly vote for that ticket

even if I'm not a hillary supporter.

[Maddy McCall]

10. I appreciate that.

:hi:

[MethuenProgressive]

11. Oh, baby!

I'd vote for that ticket twice!

[Maddy McCall]

16. LOL

:thumbsup: :hi:

[rodeodance]

56. oh baby-----how lovely---i can 'hear' you say that:-)

[Lucinda]

12. I like Clark, and Edwards too.

There are several people that would make great Veeps. Contrary to the naysayers opinion that Bill will run over anyone who gets it, I think she'll look for a strong Veep.

Clark would be an excellent counter to Mac military service.

[Maddy McCall]

20. Yes...

I think she'll find someone who'll shore up her weaknesses vs. McCain....

Clark can handily do that.

[Lucinda]

30. He definitely could.

I still think Edwards is a strong possiblity too. That's based on nothing but instinct though. :)

[Maddy McCall]

40. I'd be just as happy to see Edwards there as Clark.

Well, ALMOST as happy! :D

[Lucinda]

49. Clark is probabaly the smarter choice for the general against McCain

but I like the idea of JE when I think of all the domestic issues that need to be fixed.

[rodeodance]

53. yes, for GE-Clark better--but Clinton promised Edwards she would work on poverty--she put

out some of her plan the other day. she is keeping her promise.

[Lucinda]

59. I've always seen a big overlap in the issues the two are most passionate about

And Clark is there as an advisor even if he cant be SoD right now and isnt her running mate. I can certainly see both men serving in some capacity, however things shake out.

[Donna Zen]

76. Wes Clark is listed as veterans out reach

not as an adviser. Gen. Jack Keane who is the architect of the surge is Clinton's military adviser. Her foreign policy advisers are: Lee Feinstein, Holbrooke, and Albright. It should be noted that all of Clinton's advisers supported the war in Iraq.

The chances are slim that Wes Clark would be on a Clinton ticket since he can't bring her any state (the Clintons think that they will carry AR). Bayh is a good bet considering his position in the DLC, and he comes with money.

[rodeodance]

21. OH---i do think she will look for a strong--prob. Mil. vp also.

[Lucinda]

26. She'll want a strong, hard working VP.

There's too much to do to be a primadonna, and it's not her style anyway.

[susankh4]

13. Fabulous choice!

[NastyRiffraff]

15. That would be a beautiful ticket

They compliment each other.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

17. A WINNING TICKET!!!

[rodeodance]

41. A LOVELY TICKET FOR ALL AMERICA

[rodeodance]

18. They look FAB together!!

[greguganus]

22. Yeah..somebody needs to check her blue pantsuit. n/t

[rodeodance]

23. take your garbage elsewhere please.

[Maddy McCall]

28. What more can you expect from a guy whose name is "regurgitate anus"?

[rodeodance]

35. oh my-----i had not put that one together--i am laughing so hard it is hard to type!!

[Maddy McCall]

37. LOL.

Well, don't expect it to show up in this week's DUzies. :rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

25. She looks beautiful in it, doesn't she.

I wear similar suits to work, myself.

[rodeodance]

38. I am waiting to see her in a beautiful ballroom dress--hint hint

[Maddy McCall]

42. I don't care if she wears a blue sequined pants suit.

Or a whiskey barrel to the inauguration festivities. :rofl:

[rodeodance]

46. :-)

[greguganus]

48. Do you think she will get an invite? n/t

[rodeodance]

54. well, we know she will not invite any thing resembling stinky slime.

[Maddy McCall]

63. go 'way, anus.

[sueragingroz]

27. I was a Clarkie last time around

that would be fab!

[rodeodance]

32. i have out that once a clarkie always a charkie at heart (that is a compliment)

[donheld]

33. I'd support that

If it came up.

[rodeodance]

50. Think sweet thoughts.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

34. That Would Be An Awesome Ticket Indeed.

I'm excited about any ticket we have, but that's one I could totally rally around. You still have hope yet!

[Maddy McCall]

36. I think she's going to pull it out in Texas AND Ohio.

And I don't care if this does go all the way to the convention. That is, after all, the very PURPOSE of the convention.

I was a huge supporter of Clark last time around. This would be the fruition of many, many dreams.

:D

[rodeodance]

47. yes. many Du'er's conveniently forget that this is primary--can go to Denver. no problem at all.

[Political Heretic]

60. Doesn't matter. She still can't win at the convention

Unless superdelegates completely subvert the entire process - and none of them are going to be willing to split the party and disenfranchise voters, handing the election to McCain like that.

He's got more money.

He's got more popularity.

And he's got more pledged delegates.

And each of those things will be true at the convention.

Superdelegates have to support him, or alienate all his voters, split the party and lose the election. It's really that simple.

[tishaLA]

39. I supported Clark in 04

and, while I am not supporting Sen Clinton in these primaries, I'd be excited to vote for that ticket in the GE. I do think, though, that Gen Clark would have to be more "disciplined" on the stump than he was in 04, but I think the experience he has gained since his 04 run (on TV, stumping for others, etc.) will help him. And he'd be a pit bull against the RW attacks.

[Maddy McCall]

44. I agree with you, Tisha.

He did well in 2004 for it to be his very first outing as a political candidate...but he had a lot to learn...

I think the work he's done since has taught him a lot. :hi:

[rodeodance]

45. YES he would be-a firm, intelligent kinda guy.

[Justpat]

43. That would work for me. n/t

[theHandpuppet]

51. Love Clark but still have a couple of concerns

I need to be reassured that he is 100% behind a woman's right to choose. My understanding is that he is against late term abortions except to save the life of the mother, though we know that late term abortions are rarely done unless there is some catastrophic medical problem involving the fetus.

Second, he has made some ugly remarks about GLBTs in the past and I would like to know that he supports our rights and has become less concerned with what the religious arguments against those rights would be.

If someone could address those two issues for me I'd appreciate it.

[rodeodance]

57. i can not directly but

he is a military man in the sense of following chain of command (like like cheney type who actively works outside to create his own policies)


guess i am saying whatever his personal views are--they will be that only.

[tishaLA]

62. I'm not sure which "ugly" comments Clark made about LGBT

because he was on the cover of The Advocate and has been fully in favor of LGBT rights. He vacillates a bit on the marriage issue, which basically puts him in precisely the same place as the other Democratic candidates. http://www.clark04.com/articles/013/

[NCarolinawoman]

81. He has spoken out many times about the mis-treatment of gays in the military.

He thinks there should be a much better way of doing things. Back in 2004, I remember hearing him speak about the unfairness of "Don't ask, Don't tell". He brought up specific instances of how this policy was not working.

He is a very compassionate man.

[Maddy McCall]

64. As I recall, he got into trouble in the 04 primary for advocating a woman's right to abortion....

right up to partuition.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. I was a Clark supporter in '04 and I'd be happy to see him as either candidate's running mate.

Since I will enthusiastically support whoever turns out to be the Dem nominee, I hope that person picks the best possible running mate, and IMO Clark is certainly high on that list.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

55. I'd be very pleased to vote for that ticket. :o)

:kick:

[rodeodance]

58. K and R

[MrsT]

61. Clinton/Clark would be great! eom

[Maribelle]

65. Clinton/Clark 08 - - that would play extremely well in Florida

:woohoo:

[Olney Blue]

67. Fantastic ticket!

[Sparkly]

68. I think that'd be great!

Anybody/Clark, Clark/Anybody, as far as I'm concerned; but certainly Clinton/Clark would be fantastic.

My main concern when he endorsed her was that it made it unlikely he'd be anybody else's VP. (Of course, he'd made a great SOS, too.)

If she were to get the nom, I reeeeeeally hope she'd pick Clark! (If only there were a way for her to let people know ahead of time, too -- that could help her clinch it, I think.)

[Avalux]

69. You know I'm not supporting Hillary, but if she's the nominee and Clark is her VP -

I will feel much better about voting for her in November. I adore Clark and think he'd be a great pick. :hi:

[Skoods]

70. I would have a heart attack...

Because that would be a monster ticket...I would be proud to vote for them. I still wish Clark got the nomination in 2004.

[zabet]

71. Most Awesome Ticket Ever!!!!!

:bounce::patriot:!!CLINTON/CLARK'08!!:patriot::bounce:

[liberalnurse]

72. Since Edwards has not endorsed Hillary pre-March 4th then

yes, this most likely will be the ticket.

[rodeodance]

73. :-)

[Autumn]

75. Oh hell yeah

my dream. My two favorite people. Whats not to love.:woohoo:

[Straight Shooter]

77. Those two have an unbelievable chemistry.

That would be a dream ticket, no doubt about it. Do you have any influence on the good general? Please use it. :D

[musicblind]

78. I strongly believe that if Hillary Clinton gets the nomination... she'll need OBAMA

as her VP. The nation is so split right now. The same if Obama wins the nomination. He will need Hillary has his VP. The nation needs to be healed by the supporting the "dream ticket".

[Crewleader]

80. Excellent!

k&r...:thumbsup:

[avrdream]

83. Sweet ticket that might even bring me home to assist.

It is my dream ticket.

[Hoof Hearted]

84. I've been in love with the idea of that ticket for months now. Good chance she would pick him up

too. I would probably drop my summer semester to go work for that ticket, maybe the fall too. I love that photo Maddy. I traveled for a little bit with Clark's campaign in Iowa, helped with advance work for his appearance at the Drake in '04. Didn't get to see him there though because for me it was on to Fort Dodge. I wanted him to be our nominee so badly. I still believe he would have won in the GE. Of course he and the Clinton's go way back, so he would be a natural choice.

[Honeycombe8]

85. That ticket would never be elected, though. It would be a short-term dream on your part.

Best to be realistic.

[question everything]

86. Of course. Have been saying this for months now

and someone agreed that, at least, he won't tower over her...
