Obama Supporters: Do you want a unity ticket?

[Generic Brad]

Poll question: Obama Supporters: Do you want a unity ticket?

[walldude]

1. I just want a Dem in office.

I'd prefer it be Obama/Clinton but I'll take Clinton/Obama. We are after all still fighting to rebuild our broken down country.

[CoffeeCat]

2. I definitely want a unity ticket...

...and I think

Obama/Edwards

or

Obama/Biden

or

Obama/Richardson

WOULD UNIFY THE PARTY AND BLOW THE HOUSE DOWN!!!

[jean627]

4. Yep!!

That looks like a variety of unity tickets that I could live with.

[goclark]

20. I could live with any of those folks

They are UNITY.

[SoCalDem]

39. I was hoping for Obama/Boxer until the other day

He'll choose a good one, so I'll wait & see

[Kitty Herder]

What do you mean? If you would explain what exactly you mean by

"unity ticket," maybe I could answer. If you mean, do I want Clinton to be his V.P., then hell no.

[berni_mccoy]

3. If Unity means a A Dem Pres and Vice Pres yes. But Clinton is not a Dem.

[meowomon]

28. I agree

She is using Karl Rovian tactics and I am so sad that any Democrat could act the way she, her husband and her campaign staff have conducted themselves. So I would have to vote "no" if unity means that a Clinton would have one single bit more power than she already has. And this is coming from a woman who used to say, "Hillary in '08, Chelsea in '16!"

[Johnny__Motown]

5. keep her the hell away from the ticket. all she will do is bring out the haters

[Cha]

6. hilary's a divider..she's out there

dividin' shit right now.

[Egnever]

11. you are a gem zidzi

:loveya:

[Cha]

15. And you, Egnever!

:loveya: :P

[k8conant]

7. Yes == Obama & Richardson / Edwards/Dodd/Sibelius /McCaskill/Kucinich

That'd be UNITY!

[XemaSab]

8. "Unity" between us and the cancer that is killing our party?

No thanks.

[CoffeeCat]

17. Most excellent point...

That describes it so well.

Maybe our party needs a few rounds of radiation treatments?

[Danger Mouse]

9. well...not really.

since i want obama to be the nominee...

[IndianaGreen]

10. I voted No because a Yes vote could be construed as endorsing a ticket with Hillary in it

Hillary is a polarizer that has managed to alienate the African American community in ways the GOP couldn't dream of doing.

Yep, I want a unity ticket, but we have better choices than Hillary: Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Richardson, etc.

[Not the Only One]

12. No. Hell no.

Hillary is not an asset to Obama, except in her own mind.

[Cha]

23. Look at you with your

Boston Obama..it's amazing how his logo can be so creatively multifacited.

[Not the Only One]

53. One of the best political marks ever

It's a stunning achievement in political marketing. Just think how hard companies like McDonalds work (including financial investment) to have people associate the famous golden arches symbol with buying hamburgers-- tremendous brand recognition.

It's genius.

[Swamp Rat]

13. Define 'unity' n/t

[Generic Brad]

22. OK. Obama - Clinton.

Since 45% of Democratic Obama supporters supposedly like this idea, I wanted to get a sense of whether or not that figure was even close. Early responses indicate that idea is an emphatic no.

[Swamp Rat]

25. Then 'NO', sayeth this Kucinich supporter.

I think Obama should ask John Edwards or Dennis Kucinich, or maybe Howard Dean.

[apocalypsehow]

14. Oh, the ticket will be "unified" alright: Senator Obama will be at the top of it, HRC will be back

in New York, tending to her senatorial duties.

-(for the record, I voted *No* on the implication that HRC would be any part of the ticket once Senator Obama is declared the nominee.)

[Colobo]

16. I don't mind an Obama/Clinton ticket.

[OhioChick]

18. Hell No. n/t

[democrattotheend]

19. You need to specify the order?

Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton?

[DearAbby]

21. There is no Unity in >>> C L I N T O N n/t

[Crunchy Frog]

24. No no no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Hillary.

[TheFarseer]

26. The only possible way to ruin Barack Obama for me

I think I would still vote for him, but I wouldn't be very excited. I'll tell you, he can do one hell of alot better than that for his VP.

[Political Heretic]

27. I need an other option: I'm not ready to say yes or no, or I'm torn.

I can't say "no" because I'm not that knee-jerk about it.

But I'm honestly not sure that a Clinton/Obama OR an Obama/Clinton ticket is truly a "dream ticket." I am steadfast in my belief that Obama should be and will be the nominee. As of today he has:

1) more pledged delegates
2) more delegates even if you accept the Clinton campaigns ridiculous spin and count only primaries
3) more popular vote
4) more states won
5) more money

He's the nominee.

Having said that, I want him to seriously consider all options. There are a lot of other interesting ticket options. Obama/Clark? Obama/Biden?(foreign policy out the ass) And yes, Obama/Clinton - could be a powerful force. I don't know. I don't want to rush to a decision.

[yourguide]

29. why isnt there a HELL NO option in this poll?

[faithfulcitizen]

30. my thought exactly.

[fujiyama]

31. I could get behind one

It's one of the few ways I can see myself voting for Hillary at this point.

[NanceGreggs]

32. I voted 'no' ...

... along with the majority of people participating in this poll.

Here's the sad part (for Hillary): I wonder how many of us would have voted 'yes' just a scant two weeks ago.

[invictus]

33. No to Hillary! She's a ticket-killer. She has too many negatives and too much baggage. n/t

[Beacool]

34. Well, for some of us it's very simple: no Hillary then no vote for president in November.

Remember that the polls are saying that nationally 1 in 4 of Hillary supporters will rather vote for McCain than Obama. Ditto in NJ, and we are a very blue state. Add to that the people like myself who might not bother to vote or consider Nader and let's see how well Obama does in the GE without Hillary and her supporters.

:shrug:

[GarbagemanLB]

35. that's okay. He'll replace you with more than enough new voters, independents, and republicans.

[Beacool]

43. Too funny, dream on!!!

:rofl:

[SoCalDem]

37. Rasmussen?

:rofl:

[Beacool]

44. Nope, the one in NJ is an internal poll run by the party.

Satisfied?

[ContinentalOp]

45. Go vote for McCain then.

Who the hell needs you and your Goldwater girl candidate.

[Beacool]

46. I never said that I would vote for McCain.

I may just vote for the others on the ballot except for president, or I may right in her name.

[JVS]

54. About such tantrum throwers: We do not want them. We do not need them.

[Lord Helmet]

36. Obama should just go ahead and strap himself to a stinking corpse

same difference politically

[AX10]

38. There goes that unity thing.

[BearSquirrel2]

41. Hillary didn't propose unity ...

Hillary proposed bitchery. As in, Obama you're ahead so I consent to allow you to be my bitch. In the process she contradicted her own notion that Obama wasn't ready to be president. Jeesh, can you imagine the ads against either Obama/Clinton, Clinton/Obama?
??
Obama rightfully declined. He's in the driver seat. And guess what? Hillary isn't going to be riding shotgun. Count on the good graces of Senator Obama that she will not be kicked out of the car.

[boppers]

40. If Clinton wants Unity with her positions...

She can put McCain on her ticket. I hear he's "experienced", just like her.

[whirlygigspin]

42. my hope

I hope Obama selects Biden as a VP

that would re-assure the security/foreign policy wonks

and that way Biden would preside over the senate

that would be way cool, la

[boppers]

47. Obama/Napolitano

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano

It means McCain will probably lose his home state in the GE, *and* we flip it blue, *and* we get a mixed-gender ticket, *and* we set up 16 years of expertise in governance. :)

[Gore1FL]

48. I didn't know how to voe exactly

I want a unity ticket of Obama-Sebelius

[DiggerDan]

49. No way

I don't want Obama tainted by the Clintons' filth. If he loses, he needs to work to get Hillary elected, go back to the Senate finish his term and run for Governor and then try again at a later day.

[bowens43]

50. If by 'unity ticket' , you mean Hillary as VP,

hell no. I want a Democrat in the oval office and any ticket with Hillary is a sure loser.

[Kahuna]

51. No! There is nothing "unifying" about Hillary Clinton. nt

[workinclasszero]

52. Hillary Clinton and unity?

LOL, thats a joke.

Divisive as hell is more like it.

[harun]

55. We worked very hard to keep the DLC'r off the ticket, and we succeeded (n/t)

[City Lights]

56. If you're asking if I want Clinton as Obama's veep, then no.

I'm all for unity, I just don't think we get there by putting Clinton on Obama's ticket, or, in the event that she's the nominee, by putting Obama on hers. I've never voted for someone based on their VP choice.

[Strawman]

57. No. I want to see the likes of Howard Wolfson cast out like demons
