Go ahead, beat me down, but I am not 100% that this is beyond impossible for either HRC or McCain. The question is how bad do either want the prize. Kerry reached out. Thoughts?

1. McCain would probably still want to vet the Clinton Library donations

2. Um, "crazy." That's what it is.
What if she believed in little green Martians and unicorns? What the hell will you Obama fanatics accuse her of next?

:crazy:

The "she really loves the Republicans" shit could *only* be believed by the student greenhorns who have no idea whatsoever what happened in this country in the 1990s. Grow the hell up.

5. I'd bet McCain would be willing to do ANYTHING to get her on his ticket
Thankfully, I do not see that EVER happening.
Bill would probably put a pillow over her face
before she even considered it.

Having said that, McCain would be wise to come out now and say he was thinking of offering the spot to her.
Then there would be NO WAY Obama could ask her & her supporters would roll to Obama.

Just a thought.

6. Well she keeps impressing me...
Every time you think she can't go any lower, she impresses me and drops it down a notch. It would fit the pattern of total self-absorbtion and egotism. It would make it hard for Obama to win.

John McCain already hinted that he might only want to serve one term. Maybe they'll strike a deal. She'll be his VP if he gives the Presidency to her after the 1st term.

11. It would make it damn near impossible for him (BO) to win
And the Republicans would LOVE having her on the ticket.
Joe Scarborough even admitted this morning that it would be a brilliant political decision
on McCain's part, because it would energize the party.

8. I think that is a very interesting idea....
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 07:06 PM by TwoSparkles
However, the Republican base would experience a meltdown-implosion.

There's no way that McCain could do it without totally destroying the Republican
party.

But then again, maybe that's not such a bad thing. If they did this, it would
be like creating a new party. It would be a neocon wet dream. The party of
pure evil. It would be a political Frankenstein!

Someone. Hold me! :scared:

15. Freeper dilemma...

16. Dude!! For that visual ALONE I am going to start praying that
she throws in with McLame.

The sounds of the Freeper heads exploding would be sweet music to my ears.

12. exactly- it would pretty much create a party that we know nothing of
except that it is all powerful and frightening.
