Will Hillary even offer Obama the VP spot now?

[Greenwood]

It is amazing how things can change so fast, especially in politics. For so long it was thought that Hillary would offer Obama the VP spot. Obviously, that have drastically changed.

Who are some good VP possibilities? What about Richardson?

[GhostofSandpiper]

1. The loser doesn't get to offer the VP spot

To anyone as far as I know.

[elizm]

24. BINGO. nt

[Cant trust em]

Clark

Everyone seems to like him.

[Maribelle]

16. Yes Clinton/Clark !

A winning team!

[joeprogressive]

45. I agree, a great 2016 ticket.

Catch a clue, HRC isn't winning anything this year.

[GhostofSandpiper]

31. That's a ticket the Military Industrial Complex can get behind

n/t

[Blue-Jay]

2. How is she in a position to offer that to anyone?

Did she win the nomination when I was taking a nap?

[tridim]

3. Who will Bizarro Hillary choose?

[sniffa]

7. Bizzaro World

That's apt. :rofl:

[npincus]

4. is this supposed to be comedy?

[cali]

5. Who cares who the loser offers the VP spot too, and hilly is the loser

[slick8790]

6. Perhaps she can talk about VP selection when she wins the nomination.

Hell, or even if she takes a lead by any metric of primary measurement (delegates, pop. votes, or states won).

But now? That's premature and presumptuous.

[goldcanyonaz]

8. YES!

[TragedyandHope]

9. Not this again. n/t

[jgraz]

10. The VP of Walmart?

[meow mix]

19. lol guess so

:rofl:

[MrModerate]

11. On the one hand, I don't think she's going to win . . .

At least not outside the convention (and after 10 or 20 votes). On the other hand whoever the winner is will offer the job to whoever's most likely to help win the general. For Clinton, I think that choice would be easy: Obama. For Obama, not so much.

I also think the division in the party that the press is nattering about isn't nearly as deep or serious as they'd like it to be. It's not as if journalism is a fact-based career, after all.

Will they kiss up and make nice after the convention? You bet. Dems have some serious ass-whuppin' to do and I don't think anyone without a press card has forgotten that.

[azmouse]

12. She'd have to win the nomination first and that won't happen.

18. A low post count does not mean that someone is a troll.

Quite a few trolls have many posts.

[ORDem]

14. This is a moot question, since HRC has no way to win at this point, sans

a dead girl or live boy in O's bed. :)

[Lefty-Taylor]

15. This post is arrogance or ignorance. I'm not sure which. But it's likely

desperation and presumption. All of the above are tiring.

[MethuenProgressive]

17. He was running for VP all along.

Until the leval of HillaryHatred vaulted him into the lead.
Deer in the headlights. Jump, Barack, jump!

48. Why do all Obama followers use personal attacks? "can't handle them uppity minorities"

How is "If you don't support Obama, you're a Racist!" going to play in the general election?

[texas_indy]

51. And why do so many Hillary followers want to ridicule a 46 year old man as "inexperienced"?

He proclaims he is ONLY running for the President slot and you proclaim he was running for VP all along!

When did YOU become Obama's "handler", huh?

And why is it that any person who doesn't support Hillary is a "sexist"?? How is that going to play in the general election?

[moriah]

20. Why can't you guys drop some of the diatribe...

... bashing and other things adding absolutely no value to the discussion, and instead turn it toward an issue that actually is important:

Who will the eventual nominee, no matter who they may be, consider for VP? Who, other than our two people who seem to be involved in a Celebrity Deathmatch to get the nomination, would be a good running mate? Yes, each current contender might have different areas where they would need to be boosted by a VP, but if you're so intent on pushing that Obama is going to win this thing, why not say who you think would be a good VP under Obama?

As for VPs who would help either candidate:

The two who were already mentioned I think -- if it was an Obama/Richardson ticket we'd have two minorities who would be able to encourage strong turnout among their respective communities, and Richardson has quite a bit of international experience that would augment Obama's ability to encourage communication as part of foreign policy. An Obama/Clark ticket would help battle McCain's military experience argument and the contention that McCain would be a better CiC than Obama.

Anyone else willing to work with me a bit here to raise the level of discourse?

[Diane R]

22. She might offer it, but since he'll be the presidential nominee, I doubt he would accept.

[dysfunctional press]

23. you do realize that it's the WINNER of the nomination that gets to offer the veepship, right?

nt

[Mags]

25. I hope not.

[CreekDog]

26. I think this begs the question

:rofl:

[Orsino]

27. It doesn't look as though she'll have the opportunity. n/t

[sfam]

29. I'm going to offer the next lottery winner...

part of the winnings for a lottery that I played but didn't win. I'm sure they'd appreciate that.

[haymakeragain]

30. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Thank you, that was a beaut.

Hahahahahahahahaha. I'm still laughing. That level of transparency is absolutely hilarious.

Got any more. They say laughing is good for you.

Thanks.

[sniffa]

33. I agree. I don't think she'll be able to even consider him on the ticket.

Y'know, not being the Presidential nominee and all.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

36. *snort!*

[Johnny__Motown]

35. VP of what exactly? her book club?

[JVS]

38. OMG he won't be VP of Hillary's playland!

[Little Star]

40. I hope not!

[Umbram]

41. "For so long it was thought that Hillary would offer Obama the VP spot."

:freak: :freak: :freak:
:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

42. I offer you the VP spot.

Yes or no, don't wait for the translation.

[4_Legs_Good]

43. She will not, nor would she ever have given him the VP slot, nor, to be frank,

will she ever have the opportunity.

David

[JTFrog]

44. It's not too late!!!!

[stop the bleeding]

46. is this satire? nt

[Bright Eyes]

47. Except she's not going to win.

[demokatgurrl]

49. Assuming she even wins, which I doubt more every day

I don't think he WANTS to be VP, particularly not with her.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

50. Giving Richardson the VP slot is the only thing that might make me...

...consider voting for Hillary in the primary.
