TeamClinton constantly mentions the SHARED ticket because they KNOW that's ALL they can hope for.

[blm]

Mr blm's newsroom has the details of a study that surveyed the leanings of all the superdelegates. The study concluded that there is no scenario that Hillary can win.

I don't know when the report will get published, it has been on hold for a couple days now. I expect it to become public soon. TeamClinton knows these facts, too.

Hillary's camp right now is playing a game of pressuring Obama to include them on the ticket or the attacks will continue.

THAT is the character of the Clinton campaign. They KNOW they can't win it, but will undermine and attack the presumptive nominee until they gain something from it.

On edit: I will also go on record and state that TeamClinton is wasting their time with the shared ticket pressure. They say it in hopes Obama's supporters come around to the idea for the 'sake of the party' to stop the attacks.

It AIN'T gonna happen.

1. Do you really think she'd accept a Veep slot?

I don't think her ego would allow it.

[caledesi]

8. W/ McCain? Oh yeah! NT

[hueyshort]

35. Clinton would not want Obama as her Veep

He would always be whining about something, the way he does now.

[blm]

11. It won't stop them from manipulating PERCEPTION. Their egos are large enough to

think that if they DID get the VP spot, they could push Obama to agree with their agenda. Thinking they can manipulate Obama the way Cheney manipulates Bushboy.

[Diane R]

28. Sure she would...then she could sabotage his campaign and presidency. Position herself for '12

[blm]

47. You mean sabotage and undermine 2008 the way they did 2000 and 2004?

[easy_b94]

2. Man If Obama put that SOnSO on his ticket. I will sit out the GE

[lisa58]

3. You're right...

...it's her only chance - if people think they are voting for a "dream team ticket" some votes could go her way.

[Elidor]

4. I heard her on NPR the other day

Saying that clearly the people of Ohio think she should be on top of that ticket. Even though she can't win, she thinks she should get the top slot.

[HooptieWagon]

5. YEah, HRC's idea of "sharing" is her losing ass as POTUS candidate

no thanks.

[AlGore-08.com]

6. No, she's trying to create the perception she's winning and a better GE candidate

For two reasons.

1.) To build momentum for the remaining primaries/caucuses.

2.) So when it comes time for the super delegates to decide the nomination, the public perception will be that Hillary Clinton may have a few less vanilla delegates, but she is the choice of the majority of Dems and would be a better candidate. If the final delegate count is close enough, this perception could put her over the top.

7. I'd consider you for a running mate

[Inuca]

9. LOL n/t

[redqueen]

13. That's pretty good. (nt)

[seafan]

10. She is holding the Party hostage. Either she is on the ticket or will continue to destroy it.

It is nothing short of abusive to insult Obama, then dangling him out as her running mate, if she so desires him.


She's caught in her own web, cornered and desperate.

[Diane R]

30. Excellent post.

[Inuca]

12. Yes & no

I think it is one of the many roundabout ways she is trying to get the nomination herself. I don't think she wants the VP position, age being one of the reasons, but definitely not the only one. She is trying to manipulate perception and possible SD votes that she thinks may lead to a nomination. So yes, I think she sees advantages in the aptly called "nightmare ticket", that much is pretty obvious, but no, I don't think she is angling for the VP slot.

[blm]

16. That dog and pony show is in hopes to sway supers that is the answer. But that ain't happening

either.

They want the pressure on Obama to be from supers and from his own supporters wanting the attacks to stop.

I think Obama will tough it out without caving to the pressure.

[Inuca]

38. Exactly n/t

[Major Hogwash]

14. This just in - she lost the nomination and just suddenly realized it!!

There was a moment of clarity this week for Hillary.

[cooolandrew]

15. EXACTLY, they'll be sharing with McCain at best with all this...

They can't expect to give us Rovian tactics and not expevt voters inteligence to be insulted.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

17. She ain't got nothing. Stand your ground Obama, and Dean too.

Obama and Dean
The Dream and The Scream

'kos' credit

[ecstatic]

18. No, it's worse: This is an attempt to trick naive voters into voting for her

to be on the top of the ticket with Obama on the bottom.

[City Lights]

19. First it was the twofer - "Vote for me and get Bill."

Now it's a threefer - "Vote for me and get Bill and Barack."

Look Hill, it's time to stand on your own. Win on your own merits or step aside. Quit trying to piggyback to the finish line on the backs of others!

[Jersey Devil]

20. She's doing it because she is/was in Mississippi

She wants black people to think if they vote for her she'll put Obama on the ticket. She is so diabolically evil that my skin crawls when I type her name.

What do you want to bet she doesn't (or hasn't if she's been there already) repeated the same baloney in Wyoming?

[goclark]

23. What is she doing in Mississippi? I thought they were not

her kind of people.

Since she is merely a carpetbagger in New York, she needs to remain quiet.

It is so insulting to have her say those things about Mississippi!

And those are only the words we have been allowed to hear. Bet our eyes would pop if we were all flies on the wall.

[dailykoff]

21. She's making the most of her imaginary surge, that's for sure.

But I doubt if Big Dog can bribe Obama into putting Hillary on the ticket.

[blm]

45. Obama has some strong personalities in his corner who don't care much for Bill's style.

.

[KittyWampus]

22. Team Clinton is playing the James Baker Gambit right now. Scream incessantly into the microphone

to control the message.

We'll see if it works.

[blm]

26. Oh yeah - there's already been a count and a recount and a recount-recount....when all the while

there were many counties who were never once recounted.

[KittyWampus]

33. meanwhile, Clinton accepted tainted money from Marianis Islands were women were enslaved

[blm]

42. Feminist icon, my ass.

She's as bad as the boys in the exclusive Bush-Clinton-Bush club.

[greyghost]

24. Keep posting your bullshit people because it's going to bite you in the ass.

[greyghost]

25. The tide has already turned in Hillary's favor and the more you...

attack her the more the undecided feel sorry for her. This URL has probably already been sent to the MSM as an example of typical Obama supporters. Politics of hope my ass. You are coming across as a bunch of hypocrites and it's only hurting Obama. Feel free to continue bashing Clinton, I'm sure her team loves it.

[stevietheman]

29. Nonsense. Obama's delegate lead will only grow larger over the next week.

Obama has the TRUE momentum!

[greyghost]

31. Guess again, Hillary is in the lead and is going to take PA in a

landslide. I'm a Edwards supporter BTW. I don't have a dog in this fight until the GE, then I'm with who ever wins the nomination.

However, I've been at this since McGovern and at this rate Clinton is going to walk away with it.

[stevietheman]

34. Not too good at math, are ya? n/t

n/t

[greyghost]

36. Actually your math has nothing to do with politics. Numbers don't

mean anything unless they're "official results." That's why George Bush is in the White House.

[Inuca]

39. You mean she is going to win by

at the very least 15% but actually closer to 20%? I do not know how you define landslide, but that's what she would need to START gaining in the delegate race.

[blm]

40. HAHAHA... The OP originated with a news organization story.

Oh please....send it to them, and maybe they'll stop sitting on the whole story and only letting it out pieces at a time as they are.

[stevietheman]

27. Sorry, Hillary -- we're going to do a *complete* DLCectomy. Buh-bye! n/t

n/t

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. Surest way for Obama to lose a lot of votes, including mine. Not gonna happen though.

[greyghost]

37. Sorry, it's already started.

[AtomicKitten]

41. She's trying to staple her lame ass to the ticket.

Effin hell.

[bigtree]

43. I really don't think she wants to be on the ticket. It's political to mention it

. . . but the strategy is more complex than wanting a spot on the ticket with Obama. I can't see her accepting that.

[blm]

44. Then Harry Reid better watch his ass. heheh

;)

[Life Long Dem]

46. Imagine how Obama feels if you think you feel bad!!
