That is not what I want out of no-drama Obama.

I'd like some grownups please.

1. You make a very good point.
I also want something different out of "no-drama" Obama!

2. The Circus will continue without her have no doubt.
Better to have her supporters standing by you than under you.

3. Under me? What are you talking about?
And did I mention her supporters at all? I don't think so.

7. Just making a statement no insult intended.
The publicans will through not only the "kitchen sink" at Obama or Clinton, but the silverware, stove, dishwasher, blinder, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, and any other bullshit they can think of at our candidate.

6. I don't know
I don't know if Obama has the right stuff to unite the party. He seems too confident to see the need for bridge-building. Too proud to offer Clintonistas anything meaningful or tangible.

4. I agree...I hope to God Obama doesn't select her as VP
About a quarter of the Party can't stand her right now.

5. Of course.
Endless stories of "campaign infighting" and a perfect
opportunity to keep covering *BILL* Clinton.

8. No more Clinton drama in the White House, please.
I think it would be a huge, totally unnecessary distraction, and a real lapse in judgment if Obama were to pick her for VP or any cabinet post. Hillary is a fine senator for the state of New York, but should not serve in any Obama administration, period.

11. Isn't it neat to have this kind of confidence in a candidate?
I've used the same language regarding other campaign issues.

"Obama will know what to do."

12. their first choice, however, is Reverend Wright
Anyone who thinks Obama will sign on for 6 more months of Mama Drama by naming Hillary the VP is simply not paying attention to anything Obama has done the past two years. He's going to cut her loose like the bad headache she is.

Who wants a Tazmanian Devil on the ticket with them?

15. Exactly. Who wants Bill having access to the White House?
He would be insufferable!
