If Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, who should be her running mate?

[Tiggeroshii]

Purely hypothetical, but still pertinent considering she's been leading every nomination poll conducted. If she gets the nomination, who should she choose as a running mate?

[Richard Steele]

1. The VISIONARY entrepeneur who sold Satan all those ice skates. eom

EDITED to add the word "visionary", and minor tense change for dramatic effect.

[xultar]

2. Barack Hussein Obama!...Yeah I said it. What of it muvafucka?

[Tiggeroshii]

6. Lol

[chaska]

3. Jeb. No, Katherine Harris.

Reagan?

[Hand]

4. Lieberman...

JUST KIDDING! :hide:

[EdwardM]

13. They would run on the pro war, anti video game platform.

Hey kids, why play Halo, when you can shoot people in real life!!

[JacksonWest]

5. It should be Bill

And she should resign.

[Ken Burch]

14. Wouldn't be Constitutionally permissible for Bill to become president if Hillary died.

And we'd have to forfeit New York's electoral college votes since they're both from the same state(nobody would buy Bill reestablishing Arkansas residency).

[JacksonWest]

22. Why not?

He can't be elected twice.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

If you're vice president, and the president resigns, you're not elected. You're President.

[KingFlorez]

7. Barack Obama

That would be the best choice for her

[WI_DEM]

8. Barak Obama would be the ideal running mate for almost any of them

but especially Hillary who will need an injection of charisma.

[mondo joe]

9. Obama or Edwards could provide some much needed warmth.

But Edwards might be able to deliver more southern votes.

[SaveElmer]

10. Kathleen Sibelius...

I think would be a good choice for just about any candidate!

[peace13]

11. Hillary=Bill=Pappy

Vote change for America!

[Ken Burch]

12. Won't really matter, since we'll just be choosing the person who gets creamed with her.

Face it, nominating Hillary is voting to lose. All the Nineties crazies will be back and, since Hillary has no personal charisma(unlike her husband, whatever else you can say about him)their vicious attacks will work.

It will be a 45-state blowout and we'll lose Congress again. And the DLC will respond by saying the party lost because it was "too liberal" and we need to come out for horsewhipping the poor.

We all know I'm right here. Why even consider it?

[Tiggeroshii]

15. I consider Hillary being a nominee because she is winning in the polls

for the nomination. I don't think she would do as bad as you say, but I do think that she is disadvantaged in many many areas. I do prefr somebody else, personally, but if the polling continues to keep this trend for the next year or so, we are going to have to come to terms with her as our nominee and try to make the best of it as we can.

[RaleighNCDUer]

21. Are these polls you mention general polls, or polls of Democrats

only?

The repugs would LOVE for her to get the nomination. I've no doubt many will vote in the Dem primaries just to see it happen.

[Tiggeroshii]

23. Just for the nomination. She loses to McCain and Giuliani significantly in GE polls

"signicantly" meaning, 10-15% points.

[dogday]

16. Russ Feingold has earned the right in my book nt

[MannyGoldstein]

17. Zell Miller

or perhaps Joe Lieberman?

[William769]

19. There's one in every crowd.

:rofl:

[napi21]

18. As much as I love Obama, a female and a black on the same ticket

I'm afraid would be way more CHANGE than the majority of voters would be able to handle right now. Remember, we DO NEED a majority nationwide to win the Presidency!

I think someone like Bill Richardson, Wes Clark, Brian Schweitzer would be much better.

[Tiggeroshii]

20. I disagree.

I don't think that will happen, but who knows :shrug:
