Terry McAuliffe Says on Bill Press Show this morning "We Need To Bring Them Together"

[KansasVoter]

He all but said thet Hillary needs to be the VP.

He said that she can get the votes that Obama can't.

He said we need to find some way to bring them together.

Hillary is now running vor VP. At as much as I hate to admit it I think it is the 100% best way to win this thing in November.

If we can control Bill, I think it would work!

[Connie_Corleone]

1. NO. FUCKING. WAY.

And I'm getting sick of hearing about Hillary for VP. It ain't gonna happen.

[powergirl]

2. I want you to be right about this one

But her being on the ticket will not necesssarily ensure this result. She will have to explain why she is supporting someone who she said was less prepared than John McCain to run the country, etc.

[NJmaverick]

3. Well there is one plus for Hillary as VP, the Cheney factor

In other words Obama would be safe from some right wing nut job assassinating him, as they wouldn't want to see Hillary replace him.

[my2sense]

14. Excellent point

It seems that if he selects a white male, his chances for getting knocked off would be much greater. It wouldn't be as meaningful for some right wing nut job to pick him off as they would get Hillary as his replacement.

28. Yeah...

been wondering if that's why she's still hanging in there since there is no path for her to the nomination......does she know something we don't know?

[lapfog_1]

4. Sorry ,Terry, your time on the national stage is coming to an end.

buh-bye.. and take Carville and the whole DLC circus with you.

[yourguide]

5. nope

[IsItJustMe]

6. In my view it would sink Obama like a rock.

[PassingFair]

7. We are looking out of the same portal....

Why add NEGATIVES?

[IsItJustMe]

31. Because I don't like spin nor bull shit and say what is on my mind regardless of where the chips

fall, and I respect other people who do the same. If it looks like a duck, Well, you know the rest.

[PassingFair]

41. Ha Ha!

I was referring to Hillary, not you!

SHE would be a negative addition to the ticket!

:hi:

[IsItJustMe]

44. LOL

[GarbagemanLB]

8. It will be a weak ticket.

[ShortnFiery]

9. We need to "make nice" and play along because IMO, HRC surrogates are bat shit crazy.

They are indeed, Certifiable - INSANE with their hunger for POWER. Clawing and scratching ... NOW they're just freaking me out. :scared:

[jordi_fanclub]

10. Well...

[jefferson_dem]

11. Fuck that. Hillary isn't fit to ride Obama's coattails.

The whole "ebony and ivory" frame the ClintonInc camp is pushing is so fucked-up, I can't even express it.

[zulchzulu]

18. First she tried riding on Bill's coattails and now she wants to ride on Obama's

Go back to New York and finish your term, Senator Clinton...

[Tinksrival]

36. Yes! exactly!

She won't help in the general.......

[Kittycat]

12. Sorry - no bigots allowed

HRC is intent on exploiting and dividing our party along any racial or socio-economic divide she can find. I want nothing to do with that.

[crankychatter]

13. He has NO IDEA how much HRC is despised

by Republicans, Moderates, Independents, Greens, Libertarians and the Democratic base

NO IDEA whatsoever

These are all groups that might vote for Obama given the opportunity

WE NEED TO GROW THE PARTY

This shoot for the imaginary Middle bullshit meme from the DLC

MUST DIE

her negatives are through the roof

[Adelante]

15. She wants to be VP now to a Muslim Commie Drug Dealer

And he's BLACK besides :eyes:

Obama's back couldn't accommodate more knives. Keep these people far away, O. Far away.

[zulchzulu]

16. It's time for Terry to take the Clintons on a vacation

We don't need to have the Clintons dragging the Obama ticket down in the fall and people like MacAuliffe need to retire.

Put it this way, having Hillary as the VP is a Trojan Horse for her to run in 2012... the last thing the Democratic Party needs now are the Clintons anywhere near the ticket. That takes away the whole message of change. She already endorse McCain. Maybe he wants her as VP...

[DemsUnited]

20. Can he take Rev. Wright too? Please??

[DemsUnited]

17. Hillary and Bill will be a huge drag on the ticket. Plus they will power play

something fierce once the Dems win the White House.

We have real problems to solve when Obama's president. He does not need to be distracted by backstabbing politics being played in his own administration. He needs a VP who is 100% on his side. That will *never* be the Clintons.

Now Wes Clark, who is a Clinton supporter, may be a real possibility.

[NightWatcher]

19. Hillary isnt fit to wash Obama's balls

what else did you think I meant

[my2sense]

22. bwaahahahah

That was wonderful...I needed a laugh.

[City Lights]

23. I will support him no matter who he chooses as a running mate,

but I think it would be a HUGE mistake for him to pick her. She has too much baggage, her negatives are too high an,d she'll breathe life into a demoralized GOP from either position on the Dem ticket. And how could he run on "change" if she's on his ticket?

Sorry Hill, Terry, and the DLC, your 15 minutes are just about up.

[dchill]

24. Hey, anything Terry McAuliffe and Harold Ford are...

both advocating, I'm all for!!! They are the Heart & Soul of the party! :sarcasm:

[mmonk]

25. I don't have a problem with her on the ticket.

Her campaign needs to do a 180 though for anything to remotely be possible. I think Terry is finally fearing division.

[AllentownJake]

27. At the end of the day

People will start worrying about their own future more than hers.

[mod mom]

26. I hope Terry is referring to Bill and Hillary because after the campaign she has run NO WAY is it a

good idea to put Obama w Clinton. Can you imagine having Bill second guessing your every decision and leaking to the media? YIKES!

[nomorewhopper]

29. anybody who thinks Hill will be VP is deluding themselves after the attack ads

the time to negotiate for VP was literally 2 to 2.5 months ago

back when the relationship wasn't so poisonous.

obama is not going to do it. if you knew the first thing about the man and his politics, you would know that this is simply NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

put it to bed terry

desperate times call for desperate measures, but still, this is just ridiculous

[highplainsdem]

30. I agree a unity ticket is our best chance for winning in November.

But I'm worried more and more that many Obama supporters are doing their best to paint him into a corner that will make it impossible for him to build the coalition he needs to win the GE. They don't want him to put Hillary on the ticket, though that's usually a winning strategy when a party is pretty evenly divided. They don't want him to consider paying off her campaign debts, though that's also standard.

I've seen too many announce here that Hillary supporters are racists, or ignorant. And that they don't need Hillary's millions of supporters, because they're sure Obama is so inspirational he'll bring in millions of voters to replace any that won't support him if they feel he's snubbing half of the Democratic electorate.

They're overestimating his appeal, and underestimating just how powerful the GOP political machine is.

And I'm beginning to feel like someone sitting in a canoe drifting toward the edge of a waterfall, with people who have us paddling in circles because they can't admit anyone on the other side of the same canoe they're in has any merit, or a significant viewpoint, or any right to be in the same canoe.

I just have to hope Obama is more reasonable and intelligent than many of his supporters.

[butterfly77]

37. Please, I am really holding back on what I would really like to...

say but Hell no! Hillary and her people will sabatoge him and think they are running everything. No!

[WA98296]

32. Sorry, I won't vote for a DINO on the ticket, and I'll quit contributing.

[Araxen]

33. Having Hillary as VP

Will drive the indy's away and fortify the repubs around McCain. We need the indy's and McCain is having a hard time rally the repubs around him. Bringing in Hillary will be an instant loss for us.

[DB1]

34. She will alienate and motivate many, dishearten the folks tired of Bush/Clinton....

bring them together? Yes, but not with her as VP.

[global1]

35. Bill Would Be A Loose Cannon.......

undermining BO as much as he could. There would be no way to control him let alone Hilliary.

[greguganus]

38. It would go against everything Obama has stood for. He would lose my vote. n/t

[Avalux]

39. NO. Obama does not need Hillary. She will drag him down.

I don't want Clinton baggage following Obama into the WH.

[4themind]

40. Control Bill?

He did grave damage to HER campaign(unintentionally), and he's her HUSBAND, do you want to risk what he might say to a guy that (from many congressional sources) he blames for tarnishing his pre and post-president legacy?

[Medusa]

42. David Gergen last night on CNN

said that if Obama picks Hill as his VP he'd better hire a food taster.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

43. Four years of cold steel in his back...

...that is what a Clinton VP would bring him.

He would be insane.
