3. I would hope that they would, like all Democrats
support and applaud our nominee and whoever is chosen to be the VP nominee. The point here is to win one for the Dems, remember?

Proud Kucinich supporter, btw.

5. I am an Obama supporter
and it offends me. Picking a female would just scream out pandering. If you really want to reach out to Hilary's voters do it through her.

6. If so, it's the best argument I've seen for choosing her.

7. Would appear as a pander to women voters, as a woman I think there are better choices.

8. Offended isn't the word I would use...
Sebellius has the personality of a librarian or sunday school teacher. Remember when she did the democratic rebuttal. Of course you don't remember...it was completely forgettable. Considering that Obama hasn't got real experience, I think he needs a really strong VP. Sebellius is such a light weight. Many think that Obama is a light weight...so two of them? No. God forbid something should happen to Obama, can you imagine anyone...anyone at all feeling good about Sebellius as pres??? That won't happen, of course, because he has enough going against him...there's no way he could possibly win with her.

I hope that Obama supporters haven't so bought into all the crap about Hillary that they can't see what a huge help she would be to him. Rejecting Hillary would truly be cutting off your nose to spite your face.

9. Obama will NOT choose that backstabbing schemer--you can take that to the bank
If you and another person are both being considered for a promotion at your job, and the other person goes out of his or her way to slime you, get rumors started about you, imply that you are a traitor to the company, send friends to pose as your friend just so they can dig up dirt on you, talk nasty about you behind your back, belittle you, and also try to wheedle and bribe your higher-ups to hire him or her instead -- are you going to choose that person to be directly under you if you get the promotion instead of that person? or would you choose someone you work well with, whom you could TRUST?


DUH!

10. He will either pick Senator Clinton or
a white guy who can relate to the blue collar voters. He will do what it takes to win over Clinton's voting base.
