A funny thought -- Ok Obama wins nomination - What happens if Hillary runs as McCain's running mate?
Besides the ensuing fireworks the likes of which we have never seen?

I'm not saying she's going to do this... but the scenario crossed my mind.

1. What if pigs grew wings? Seems most unlikely. If it happens, I'll eat my hat.

3. With all the compliments the Clintons
have been showering on McCain, I thought maybe that was her plan B.

9. The traditional GOP voters are not too happy with McCain ...
... as it is. Were he to add the much hated (by the RW) Hillary to his ticket, Obama could start moving his belongings into the Oval Office the day it was announced.

It's like asking what the reaction would be on our side if Barack announced Ann Coulter as his VP.

10. OMG That would be funny--
After years of being propagandized by Limbaugh, the right-wingers couldn't bring themselves to vote for a ticket with Hillary on it, and nobody with brains would vote for McCain. The only votes left would be the ones cast by maliciously programmed voting machines, thereby giving us our first good estimate of the size of the O'Dell Effect.

14. What if Obama is really a Manchurian candidate under Karl Rove's control?
What if we stopped asking "innocent" questions with no factual basis to smear candidates we don't like? What then?

19. She wants to be President and nothing less.
She could have played nice and ended up on the bottom of Obama's ticket a month ago but that is not what she is in it for. It's all or nothing for Hillary.

31. What happens when the monkeys flying around my butt freak out and
immediately don tin hats, wondering what will happen when the pornos of me, the monkeys, Jamie Lee Curtis and Barbara Boxer surface on the "special" section of the AARP website.


just wondering....

32. Democrats solidify behind Obama and McCain's Independent support shrivels up and dies.
Net result: Obama wins the general election by a landslide.

33. She'll run Independent first
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 12:30 AM by crankychatter
but I think she'll end up with the nomination

and people will try to draft Obama to run Independent

He'll have none of it, and there you go

President Lieberman (taking over from VP when McInsane has a Charlie Alpha(cardiac arrest))
