[Labors of Hercules]

and it will NOT be Hillary Clinton.

So just, please...



and...

1. Hahaha... Very nice... Sort of.. I think... lol.. n/t

[tekisui]

2. OBAMA/WEBB '08!!!!

[hiphopnation]

21. chick webb?

[tekisui]

22. He looks like a winner to me.

:thumbsup:

[tishaLA]

27. well A-Tisket A-Tasket. I'll Vote for Mr. Rhythm!

if Ella's on the ticket, I'll max out on contributions one way or another. Obama and FDR Jones.

[thunder rising]

3. Have a heart, they are bargaining now. Just one more little step and it's done.

[CoffeeCat]

4. What's done?

Gimme the scoop! :)

5. This:

10. So, which one is traversing the Kubler-Ross...

..steps--Obama or Clinton?

[saracat]

6. Actually the VP is chosen by the Convention. Usually the delgates go along with the Nom's choice but

this year,anything could happen. Kennedy didn't want Johnson!

[CoffeeCat]

9. Obama will make his wishes known well...

...before the Convention, and the delegates will give the nod to the nominee.

My guess is that Obama picks a very popular running mate, like Edwards or Webb. There will
be no problems and no side show. Once he is our nominee, everything will change.

[cloudythescribbler]

28. What about Boxer, or Sebelius, of Napolitano, or Stabenow?

Not picking a woman running mate in this election cycle would be a serious tactical error in my arrogant opinion, just as choosing Hillary would also be -- not a good idea.

[CoffeeCat]

29. Do you have any opinion of him...

...picking Pelosi.

I think he might go with Pelosi. Just a hunch.

[MonkeyFunk]

31. no

A 68-year old San Francisco liberal? What state does that help him win?

Same for Boxer, only add that she'd be replaced by a Republican governor, and she's Jewish - which doesn't help Obama win any states.

I think it's humorous how every woman of any fame is proposed as his VP, as if picking a random woman somehow helps his "hillary problem".

[cloudythescribbler]

41. I do NOT think Pelosi is either remotely likely or politically desirable ...

Being in the House doesn't give you nearly the foreign policy credentials that the Senate does. And as for charisma/popularity, Boxer is arguably the BEST in CA that the Democrats have. Pelosi isn't even close.

Also, Boxer having voted NO on the Iraq War Resolution could mean a lot. There are at least a dozen or more possible women that I would prefer and that I think Obama would prefer to Pelosi on the ticket.

I would give better than even odds that whether the VP nominee is Hillary or not, it will probably be a woman, and I simply don't buy the notion that these things don't matter. No one maintained that pretense when Ferraro was on the ticket in 84 -- there was a large insistence on a woman on the ticket, with some in CA saying "A feminist, not a Feinstein".

[Heather MC]

26. And look what happen to Kenndy...hmmmm I hope the DNC learns from that mistake

[VeraAgnes]

7. Thats not a winning attitude.

I saw the angry women video, the ladies are really pisst! They will not vote for Obama due to this attitude Obama has against Hillary.

Not good folks.

[CoffeeCat]

11. ...and no one should kow tow to angry, loons...

...who think they can bully the world into getting what they want.

If Obama is our nominee, he gets to select his running mate.

More entitlement from the Hillary camp. Does it ever end?

[Labors of Hercules]

12. Hillary is one woman.

How the fuck did she get the right to channel the hopes and frustrations of ALL women?

most of my closest friends are women, and they ALL support Obama.

My beef is with Hillary, NOT with women. (And I think we can safely say the same is true for Obama).

[gal]

34. Please don't lump all ladies together.

I am a woman and would be very ticked if Hillary were on the ticket or if a woman was picked just for thier sex.
Obama has a whole lot of women voters out there to, their not all going to Hillary. If they don't want to vote for him let them stay home, the rest of us and others will do what we feel is right. I personally don't believe we should be blackmailed into a candidate or VP by threats not to vote. You don't want to vote...then don't friggen vote. Simple as that.

8. another really useful thread

brought to you by the folks at change, hope, and unity!

(tm!)

[Forkboy]

19. I'm with ya there.

Pointless OP.

[paulk]

30. I sometimes wonder who the more vitrolic supporters

of both candidates are really working for...

[OzarkDem]

13. Who cares?

Or did you fail kindergarten? :shrug:

[Melinda]

17. He joined 11 minutes ago and is running from thread to thread building his post count

No text, all subject, and in a big ass hurry. Another sockpuppet for HRC.

[ima_sinnic]

37. already taking a dirt nap with his pizza

:rofl:

[IDemo]

18. No, you have sleep walked to a keyboard and entered the dream you were having

Consider less caffeine and hillaryis44.com before bedtime.

[Adelante]

20. Just because you want it to be 2210 doesn't make it so

The number is 2026 (up one from 2025) as officially determined by the DNC.

[auntAgonist]

23. are you STILL sleeping?

:shrug:

[slinkerwink]

24. Not productive at all.

[Labors of Hercules]

25. but funny?

maybe?

Just a little bit?

:yoiks:

[MonkeyFunk]

32. No

just more Obama fan bullying and contempt.

I'm constantly amazed at the huge gulf between Obama's message and the behavior of his supporters.

[sfaprog]

35. I'm constantly amazed at the huge gulf between Clinton's message and the behavior of her supporters.

(demanding to be on the ticket is) just more Hillary fan bullying and contempt.

I'm constantly amazed at the huge gulf between Clinton's message (of "change") and the behavior of her supporters.

[MonkeyFunk]

36. I don't see Clinton supporters

trying to destroy Obama, drive him out of the party and purge this board of his supporters. I don't see Clinton supporters posting "Fuck Obama!" every day here. I just saw another post calling her "a sack of shit". That kind of hateful invective seems to come almost entire from Obama fans.

Clinton is not running a campaign based on changing the very nature of politics in America. She doesn't claim to be leading a new paradigm of unity and reconciliation.

So your stupid mimicking of my post was just dumb.

[sfaprog]

38. I see Clinton supporters

trying to destroy Obama. You don't? One word to that bullshit: "Wright"

And Clinton IS running a campaign based on change. She said she had 35 years experience in bringing change, don't you remember? here, let me refresh your memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhydLhz48_k

Here's a campaign ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB-Xqi_dcDY

I could see where she doesn't want to talk much about unity since her one real shot, while dealing with health care in the 90's, was such an utter disaster. Since then, though, she's been plenty willing to bring the parties together to vote for war and sabre-rattling.

So my mimicking of your post was pretty right-on.

[Labors of Hercules]

39. It is not fair to confuse Obama supporters with trolls.

we both know there are plenty of trolls on both sides. I don't know a single Democrat who supports Obama that would call Hillary a "sack of shit". :shrug:

40. IF he were to get the nom and Hillary wanted the VP spot it WILL be hers!

there is NOTHING Obama could do or say to prevent her from having it....but she would not want it!

and that's just the FACTS
