Obama/Clinton versus Mccain/Rice?

[Tropics_Dude83]

Condi Rice is actively seeking the vice presidency

Very interesting:

I think Obama would need to pick Clinton to hold onto the women's vote in this case but what do I know.

Mccain/Rice would be a very attractive GOP ticket unfortunately to so-called "moderates."

1. Obama / Boxer would be much stronger or a female Gov.

[goldcanyonaz]

2. It's a loser to Clinton supporters.

[KAZ]

4. Tough shit.

[goldcanyonaz]

10. Tough shit, to you too.

[KAZ]

20. Well, double-tough shit to you! I'm saving the triple-dog tough shit

for later. Decorum and all.

[Tropics_Dude83]

6. Are you saying goldcanyonaz

That if it's not Hillary Clinton, you're voting for John Mccain? Or am I misreading you?

If so, I profoundly say

SHAME ON YOU

[goldcanyonaz]

7. Not voting.

[melody]

15. Not voting for a Democrat IS voting for McCain

Thank you, in advance, for a wounded Democratic candidate AND another GOP nightmare.

[guyanakoolaid]

21. Ooooh, threats to stay away from the polls.

That's just about the last card, isn't it? The rally the women one has already been played. It didn't work either.

I hope you see through your own smugness that you are hurting the Democratic Party. Guess it doesn't matter to you since they took away the nomination that Hillary was promised, am I right?

[goldcanyonaz]

28. Oh, it's gonna work. We's women ain't gonna be votin...

[loveangelc]

33. That's the most stupid shit I've ever heard. Yes, let roe v. wade become overturned

and help elect the president that has no idea what a condom does, all because, BOO HOO, you didn't get the candidate you wanted.

[loveangelc]

32. wrong reply

[quakerboy]

22. So its Hillary or no one?

no matter who else is in it?

[Zachstar]

25. You know there are other forums for you to go to then

Is there not hundreds of Clinton forums out there?

You are not doing ANYTHING for Clinton by declaring your intention to not vote. Not only is it helping McCain but you are harming the view of Clinton by not honoring your civic duty.

And yes voting is a civic duty. For petes sakes go in and write in Clinton if you have to but VOTE!!!

Again there are other forums.

[anigbrowl]

19. So you don't actually care about supporting women then, just Clinton?

Janet Napolitano wouldn't be good for you, say? Even though she's a governor with an excellent track and electoral record, and knows just where to hit McCain?

[Tropics_Dude83]

3. Yeah very true n/t

[KAZ]

8. I would work my ass off for that ticket! It would be hard, but worth it!

Edit: "be".

[babylonsister]

5. No Clinton! She's got too much baggage

in many forms, and she represents the past. We need to look and move forward.

[JayFredMuggs]

11. Exactly TRUE! eom

[BlooInBloo]

9. Why do people insist on the stupidest possible ticket?

Ex stupidity, stupid fit, I suppose.

[galaxy21]

14. Obama/Clinton may be her only way to the presidency

Assuming Obama would get two terms, she's be 68, in 2008. That's old, but it's not THAT old. She could run then.

[BlooInBloo]

41. Nah - Obama losing to McCain this year is a better route for her.

[JayFredMuggs]

16. YesStupid

Mc Same and lady look like a Bush ass-smoocher!

Very stupid.

[mcctatas]

12. I hope she get's it too...

talk about tying the stone of the bush admin. around your neck and diving in the deep end!

[tblue]

13. Condi is the epitome of B*sh baggage. McLame won't give her the time of day, if he's smart.

Condi adds nothing to the McLame ticket. I hope to hell he picks her.

[uponit7771]

17. Rice is Bush admin, stupid cons don't think Americans dislike Bush

[Skwmom]

18. Clinton would rally the Republicans behind McCain. Rice WON'T be on the ticket.

It would tie McCain to Bush.

[peacebird]

23. why do you think Obama needs HRC in order to hold the womens vote? I'm a woman and I do not vote

based on a candidates genitalia...

any more than I vote based on which candidate I would "rather have a beer with"

Frankly I find the premise that women are such silly creatures that they vote based on gender to be offensive... but then - what do I know?

In my case - if Obama picked HRC as his VP then I would find it very hard to pull the lever for him...

[bain_sidhe]

24. Just posted in another thread - Lt. Gen Claudia Kennedy (Ret.)

The first woman in the U.S. Army to hold a three-star rank. Resident of Virginia. Member of the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame.

She was born in Germany, but I think both her parents were "natural born" American citizens which I think makes her eligible for the Presidency. Not sure on that, though.

She's been an advocate for women soldiers for her entire military career. She'd hold the women's vote, without the "baggage." And in 8 years, I think she'd make a GREAT president!

[Indiana_Dem]

26. Who's the Gov. of Missouri again? I like her & she supports Obama.

What is her name again--it's on the tip of my tongue but I can't get it out. McK---something?

[Milo_Bloom]

30. I think you are thinking of CLaire McCaskill

And she is the Senator, not Gov.

I don't think we want 2 senators on the ticket.

[Indiana_Dem]

36. Oh yeah, you're right. That's too bad, I really like her.

She is very articulate :)and doesn't beat around the bush about the issues.

[ingac70]

27. While that ticket may draw moderates...

Having a black person on each ticket would keep the Bubbas home on election day, a plus for Dems.

[Milo_Bloom]

29. Clinton Hurts the ticket.

I give women more credit than to just vote where the woman on the ticket is (If they were that much of lemmings Mondale would have won in 1984.)

Obama needs a foreign policy expert... Richard Clarke would be perfect as the man who could have prevented 9/11 if anyone listened to him. Plus he is seen as bi-partisan having served under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and then little idiot bush.

[bowens43]

31. Clinton on the ticket is a sure loser.

Hopefully Obama isn't dumb enough to make that kind of bone head move,

[Willo]

34. The women who will vote for McCain will do so with Hillary on the ticket

so it is pointless.

Besides, he needs someone who enhances his agenga and fills in the gaps.

[Skidmore]

35. One of these thing is not like the other...

One of these things just doesn't belong.
Guess which thing is not like the other
before I finish my song.....

Just sayin'.

[Indiana_Dem]

38. oh, that's HILARIOUS! haha!

:rofl:

[Willo]

39. LOL, please tell me you know the "O" song :)

[galaxy21]

37. The Clinton/Rice debates would be a sight to see

I mean, Clinton would lay the smackdown on her, easily.

[oviedodem]

40. Any woman or AA that votes just b/c rice is black or a women needs to have their head examined!!!
