Would Any of These VP Pics Affect your Support of Obama?

[rucky]

[polichick]

1. Ya mean, would any of them make us NOT vote for Obama?

[rucky]

reworded. sorry.

[polichick]

10. Some of them would cause me to hold my nose while I voted for Obama...

And I might not be inspired to work as hard as I have been.

[bunkerbuster1]

18. Only Hagle would do it for me.

Putting a genuinely conservative Republican a heartbeat away from the Presidency would be very hard to forgive. I'd still hold my nose and vote for Obama, though.

[polichick]

27. If either Hagle or Clinton were veep, I'd be more concerned about...

...an assassination attempt to regain power (not that Hill or Bill themselves would do it).

Also not crazy about Bayh or Kaine.

[JerseygirlCT]

40. This is me. No money, no help

just a reluctant vote. And many prayers for Obama's continued health.

[BklynChick]

of course not.

[mcctatas]

2. Um...

no. The alternative is too creepy for me to take a principled stand on the veep.

[azmouse]

3. I'm voting for Obama.... not his VP pick.

And I don't want McBush anywhere near the WH.

[truebrit71]

4. Never mind...OP changed the meaning of the poll....

Therefore my responses became moot...

Nothing to see here....

[mcctatas]

8. Are you crazy?

oops, sorry, residual primary outrage leaking through;)

[truebrit71]

9. See my edited post...the OP completely re-worded the post...

...and that completely negated my response...

[rucky]

11. my bad.

sorry

[mcctatas]

14. So my completely fabricated outrage was wasted on a

non-non-issue? How dare you :rofl:

[truebrit71]

19. ROFL! Yup....sorry about that!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[BOSSHOG]

5. Not me, however

I'd like for Hagel to switch parties if he is the selection.

[philosophie_en_rose]

6. I wouldn't be equally happy, but I wouldn't stop supporting Obama.

No VP could be worse than McCain.

[gateley]

7. No -no matter how disappointed I may be by his VP choice,

or how much he himself might piss me off in the days to come, he's got my vote. It's my only power to keep McCain out of the WH.

[DevonRex]

12. Obama is our party's nominee. I support him no matter whom he

chooses as his running mate. Of course, there are some that I wouldn't care for and there are some that I would prefer. But I am not the one with all the expert advice about which person helps the most in the GE.

[bunkerbuster1]

23. That's the bottom line for me.

Absent a truly awful mistake (which I think Hagel would be), I trust the man's political instincts. and in any case, he is our party's nominee, he gets my vote, period.

[DevonRex]

34. He does seem to have pretty good instincts, doesn't he?

I think Hagel would be a mistake, too. But I also have kind of a regret about that. I keep thinking that if he had been raised in a good liberal home he could have been a really great democrat. But it was not to be, sad to say.

Short of a "road to Damascus" moment, Hagel will always be too conservative for us and 1 heartbeat away from the presidency is just too close for a republican to get.

[WeDidIt]

13. I trust Barack Obama to make the best choice in order to win the race.

So none of those choices would affect my support for Obama.

[seaglass]

15. If he picks Hagel I will not vote. n/t

[rucky]

16. Hagel would be a terrible mistake.

I'd still vote, but it would lessen my campaign support.

[seaglass]

39. That's fine for you, no judgment. For me - I'm a Democrat and

if the person on the top of the ticket devalues Democrats by choosing a Republican - I would have no affiliation with the person making that decision...and likely, no longer any affiliation with the party that would accept that decision.

But that's just me.

[rucky]

41. I wouldn't blame you.

good thing it's unlikely to happen.

[seaglass]

45. Yeah, I don't see it happening either, silly isn't it? n/t

[bunkerbuster1]

20. He won't, but... really?

You'd rather have McCain than Obama, if Obama were to make that mistake?

[seaglass]

37. I won't vote for a Republican no matter how s/he is packaged.

That includes both Hagel and MCain.

[davsand]

17. I'd be MORE enthusiastic with Clark as Obama's running mate.

I will work the full ticket as hard as I can, but I'd be WAY happier working a ticket with Clark and Obama both on it.



Laura

[polichick]

35. I'd be very happy with that ticket too...

Also with Biden or Richardson.

[tokenlib]

43. Yea, Clark would motivate people a bit more than a milquetoast candidate...

I think putting Clark on the ticket would make McCain's ramblings about winning in Iraq look pathetic...

[elleng]

46. Wes would motivate me to get back to DC

where I'm registered and actually vote for the ticket instead of writing Wes in. I'm elsewhere at the moment, and won't bother otherwise.

[Lilith Velkor]

21. I don't see any pics

Did you mean "picks"?

[Marrah_G]

22. Hagel- Having him a heartbeat from the Presidency is unacceptable

I think Obama is more intelligent then that, therefore I am not worried about it.

[lisa58]

24. I'm voting for Obama

[Ino]

25. The two Repug-lites on the list would. (nt)

[polmaven]

28. You'd rather

repug heavy at #1 than repug lite at #2? I don't get it! :shrug:

[Ino]

36. I'd still vote for Obama...

but with a heavy heart and much trepidation.

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

26. Any of the first 4 names would make me vomit

But only Hagel would be the dealbreaker. I will not vote for a Republican, period.

That said, I figure the odds of the Beatles going on a reunion tour in September are better than the odds of Obama picking a Puke.

[bigwillq]

29. Hagel

Obama's VP says a lot about Obama and the way in which he will likely run his administration. If he picks Hagel, who would be a heartbeat away from the presidency, it gives me reason to question Obama's judgment.

[bklyncowgirl]

30. Unless he picks Dick Cheney for another go 'round I'm voting for Obama. nt

[DFW]

31. None, but if he picks Hagel, I want him examined for brain tumors.

[Blue-Jay]

32. I will only rethink my support if the VP is Hagel or Nunn.

Neither is likely, however.

[me b zola]

33. My support? No

But there are a few names on that list that if chosen would suggest that Obama is not the candidate that I currently think he is.

[Occam Bandage]

38. Hagel or Nunn would deeply disappoint me, but none would change my support.

[NorthCarolina]

42. Bayh, Kaine or Hagel would reduce my enthusiasm to effectively zero

Clark, Biden or Richardson I could live with.

[democrat2thecore]

44. The stakes are too great - I'd vote Obama with Reagan's ghost on the ticket

We simply HAVE to win this year - at any and all costs. His choice of veep simply doesn't matter. I have a favorite (Schweitzer) but I don't care. We simply have to win if for no other reason than the Supreme Court.

[TwilightGardener]

47. None of them--I would support Obama no matter who he chose.

[saltpoint]

48. Would be a bit chilled by Hagel.

Obama has so many solid Dems who will boost him on the stump and in the Oval Office that I don't think he needs Hagel.

Prefer Chafee to Hagel if it has to be a Republican but virtually all Democrats to Chafee, with the exception of Sam Nunn.
