IF FL & MI unseated & SD's Give Nominaton to Obama - Would YOU support an Independent Clinton Run?

She has built a machine seperate from the Democratic National Committee and, given enough funds, could pull it off.

I mean, if she honestly believes, and her supporters HONESTLY believe, that the nomination and the White House were STOLEN from her, why wouldn't she do it?

What do YOU think?

1. probably not, but I'd write her in...I don't think she'd do it since BO will
lose the GE, and she'll be in a good position in 2012 when McLame has made things even worse than Dumbo.

3. FL and MI will be seated...
...the question is how?

I want a fair nomination - whoever the nominee is. I don't think we need an independent run from either candidate - the road is rocky enough as it stands.

4. I don't think she would ever do it, but I would strongly consider voting for her...
Obama is likely to lose the GE anyway.

6. Hillary's NUCLEAR OPTION.
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 07:38 AM by DemVet
I always pondered to myself whether she would do this, but no, I would not support it.

It would, however, be the death knell for Obama's candidacy. That's why he doesn't want to piss Mrs. Clinton off too badly.

Not to mention that she will most likely kick Harry Reid to the curb and become the Senate Majority Leader if she doesn't get the Nomination. BO will have to play nice to get any of his legislation passed.

7. Why don't you guys just call the RNC and tell them we're calling
off the election and giving it to John McCain? Honestly - I'm going to stop worrying about everyone else's kid going off to Iraq and being killed. I don't have kids - some of you must. You really want the flag-covered boxes to continue coming back for at least 4 more years?

8. The way she's run this campaign, I wouldn't support her on any
Independent ticket whatsoever and will only support the Democratic ticket if she leading it with great unenthusiasm.

If I were still in New York I'd support any halfway decent primry opponent who challenged her for the Democratic Senate nomination next time as well.
