Poll question: For Barack Obama Supporters:
When Barack Obama takes the nomination, and later on he does choose Hillary Clinton as his running-mate, and she accepts, would you still vote for the Barack Obama ticket in November?

3. I voted yes, because I would. But it is a fantasy of an idea.

4. I'll be standing outside my voting place with a bag:
Patriotic Clothespins, $1.00. Red White and Blue, suitable for pinching ones nose in order to have both hands free for the voting process.
:patriot:

btw: I will be wearing one if I am forced to vote for Obama/Clinton '08 but make no mistake about it, I would vote for that ticket with only a bit more enthusiasm than a Clinton/Obama '08 ticket.

(OTOH if Senator Obama sensibly picks someone else, I may still find some use out of those clothespins for Republicans who are stuck voting for mCcain)

5. Yes, but as someone else said, Barack will need food tasters.
With the food taster condition, the answer is yes. ;-)

11. I'm sure if he did, it would mean she gives us the best chance to win
I trust his judgement 100% he hasn't been wrong yet.

12. You need a fourth option.
"I find this scenario so preposterous that I can't give a reasonable answer to the question."

Clinton is not going to be the VP pick.

22. Ouch! Maureen Dowd exposed what a phoney Obama is tonight
Obama breezed through West Virginia, the state he couldn’t charm even wearing a flag pin and promising to invest in “clean coal.” Fast Barry shot some pool Monday afternoon at Schultzie’s Billiards in South Charleston, including prophetically sinking an eight-ball in the pocket, and then fled from Hillary territory to pursue white, blue-collar workers in battleground states and convince them not to vote for John McBush.

27. It would tell me that Obama was a straight up hypocrit about a different type of politics. It would
be more of the same, for me.

no matter who he choses as a running mate. But I hope that he picks someone else.
