Hillary as Barack's V.P? The Trail
Hillary Clinton is "absolutely ready" to discuss the vice presidency with Barack Obama and has authorized supporters to encourage Obama to pick her if he feels that will help unify the party and help Democrats win the White House, according to Robert Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television and a prominent Clinton supporter.

I have mixed feelings about this ticket but think it could work.

1. 18,000,000 voters...not necessary to lose even half of them ...so yes, the ticket should be BOHRC

6. The V.P. spot is not a consolation prize
The V.P. has little official power and only has the power that the President delegates to them. That's why it doesn't make sense to demand to be on the ticket. He could just not give her an office in D.C. and send her on a long tour of Bosnia if he wanted.

2. No
There are plenty of good VP choices out there. Hillary does not have 18 million anything

Alot of those people have already switched

Alot of them were Republicans doing Limbaughs bidding

and some of them won't vote for a black man even with HRC on the ticket.

5. Barack has done an outstanding job so far
he need not bow to the will her highness Hillary. Nor do I believe he should necessarily choose a causation for veep (that is to conventional for this year IMHO but if he does, I would think Biden would be a excellent selection.)

I think he should continue to think outside the box, I think he should choose the female Gov of Kansas Kathleen (forgive me since I do not know how to spell here last name),

3. Yes let's add HRC's negatives to Obama's and we can guarantee McSame gets the WH.
How does putting Clinton on the ticket help with the Change message?

7. I don't think so...
It is hard to imagine that they could ever work well together. Not even for the "good of the party."

9. BOB JOHNSON?
We're honestly giving this man a forum? He's the only individual who was on par with Bill Clinton in making an ass out of himself while speaking on behalf of Hillary's campaign.

BET is one of the worst things in the history of popular entertainment.
