George's Bottom Line on Clinton for VP-Clinton Might Be Negotiating Spot on '08 Ticket, George Says
Is Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., staying in the race to get the vice presidential slot?

George thinks so.

-----

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: There are various exit strategies right now. Number one would be, go out on a win. So stay in until West Virginia where Sen. Clinton is the likely the winner and Kentucky on May 20 and after that bow out. Two, negotiate for the imposition of Michigan and Florida to get those delegations seated, declare victory on that and get out. But the big one, Charlie -- and this is what some people close to the Clintons are talking about: Is there a way to negotiate a settlement with Barack Obama to have Sen. Clinton on the ticket?

CHARLES GIBSON: And what do they think?

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: It's hard to know. I mean, first of all, would Sen. Obama go for it. Can he get over the bitterness of this campaign. Can he be convinced that it's the strongest ticket. Third, of course, would Sen. Clinton take it. I think if it was offered in the right way, yes.

2. so she can undermine everything Obama does? NO
she is counter to everything he is, and she's done everything she can to knee cap him.

No more of the Clinton dynasty.

12. Look at this spin...
"Can he get over the bitterness of this campaign"

Like he is the one with the bitterness problem?

"Can he be convinced that it's the strongest ticket"

Not asked if he thinks it's a good move, but someone needs to convince him? Convinced as in if knows whats good for a campaign he has won?

"Would Sen. Clinton take it?"

She has so much bargaining power it might be a tough sell, but he better try?

"I think it it was offered in the right way, yes"

First of all he doesn't owe it to her, and if he was foolish enough to go that route he should be able to ask her any way he wants.

This isn't Clintons deck of cards anymore. Get Over It!

America is telling the Clintons, for the first time in the Clinton's political life, no! It's her responsibility to deal with it on her own terms.

The gall. Unbelievable.
