Abrams/Odonnel "Grilling" Clark on Obama VP

[justinrr1]

He seemed to get annoyed with their persistance, but I really hope he is considered and he would accept. That would be a great ticket.

[tularetom]

1. I don't like him - he's sorta down with the bomb bomb bomb idea

Heard him on Bill Maher a couple months ago talking very aggressively toward Iran probably as cover for hillary's vote for that godawful Lieberman amendment.

I'd vote for Obama with Clark on the ticket - i just think he can do a lot better.

[mod mom]

4. He just finished how important it was to not only the Clintons but to everyone that every vote count

I do wish someone would ask the Clintons' why the silence over the disenfranchisement in 2000 and 2004 of Af Am votes-weren't their votes worth fighting for?

Why not fight for all the votes in Ohio (and elsewhere) in 2004 that were never counted? Why not publicly reprimand Clinton ally James Carville his role in seeing the votes weren't counted:




Did Carville Tip Bush Off to Kerry Strategy (Woodward)

By M.J. Rosenberg - October 7, 2006, 9:11AM
I just came across a troubling incident that Bob Woodward reports in his new book. Very troubling.

On page 344, Woodward describes the doings at the White House in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the day after the '04 election.

Apparently, Kerry had decided not to concede. There were 250,000 outstanding ballots in Ohio.

So Kerry decides to fight. In fact, he considers going to Ohio to camp out with his voters until there is a recount. This is the last thing the White House needs, especially after Florida 2000.

So what happened?

James Carville gets on the phone with his wife, Mary Matalin, who is at the White House with Bush.

"Carville told her he had some inside news. The Kerry campaign was going to challenge the provisional ballots in Ohio -- perhaps up to 250,000 of them. 'I don't agree with it, Carville said. I'm just telling you that's what they're talking about.'

"Matalin went to Cheney to report...You better tell the President Cheney told her."

Matalin does, advising Bush that "somebody in authority needed to get in touch with J. Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio who would be in charge of any challenge to the provisional votes." An SOS goes out to Blackwell.

The rest is history.

Does something about this story stink to high heaven!

:shrug:

[high density]

14. Facts.. so pesky.

"Stop Iran War" is not clear enough for some people I guess.

2. I cannot think of a better choice!

Foreign affairs credibility, cerebral, had run for president before, and he would give the Dems the Arkansas "electoral college" vote in a valuable swing state. Woo hoo

[Muttocracy]

11. but no legislative or executive experience. And after today's performance

supporting Clinton, nope.

[Kolesar]

12. thin...eom

[DemVet]

13. Agreed.

3. he was very unimpressive on Dan's show

[ErinBerin84]

5. I thought so too

In fact, a lot of my VP choices have been kind of disappointing me lately with their appearances, lol. Except Biden. Damn it, why does he have to be a senator?

[BklynChick]

6. ita, Biden has been on fire lately. he would be a great VP. i'm leaning towards him even though

he's a senator.

[justinrr1]

7. Biden is always on fire

many people and the media just chose to write him off and ignore him in the primaries. If Biden were the nominee he would be a near lock to win the white house. He is my first pick for VP but I think he is looking more at Sec of State

[stillcool]

9. He doesn't lie very well...

I would hope that he and the other Clinton surrogates would just say that Hillary is biding her time waiting for the 'catastrophic event'.

[IsItJustMe]

10. Lost lots of respect for Clark in that one. But one thing I can say, Clark does say "every vote

must count" as disingenuous as it was.
