1. Never going to happen .... Hillary has a 58% negative rating |
|
Obama will say she is would be good @ veep but knows she would be an albatross around his neck.

6. I've got my fingers crossed that this is so, but that is clearly her strategy at this point, to get |
|
the Veep slot. Gawd help us all if she somehow manages that. Then when we lose in the Fall and don't pick up any House or Senate seats because of the increased Gooper turnout, all the O and C supporters will point the finger at each other. Disaster.

4. Yes... same as the "non-partisan" demonstration outside the DNC offices. |
|
Which was actually partisan... but they shrewdly had Hillary's supporters remove their Hillary shirts and put on shirts reflecting support for other Dem candidates.
Clever bunch, this lot.

Hillary would be a fine choice for VP. Contrary to popular belief; she is not a monster and is a very smart, savvy and accomplished individual. She has stood her ground and proven she does have support. Those voices behind her are not all inbred racist dumbasses. There are a heck of a lot of good people, liberal and progressive, who actually voted for her. If we are going to wag our fingers and demand that Clinton's supporters swallow their pride and accept Obama since he is the Parties choice; then we will have to do the same.
It is about the nation and our Party. If it becomes clear that folks wish them to put their differences aside and work together, then so be it. Hillary may indeed have high negatives put she could beat McCain just as well as Obama. The war cry of "throw her out she's old" is stupid and will get us no where. I know "change" sounds all purty and all; but we still have to work with the stalwarts of the party and those she represents. You have to work WITH people to affect change.
I know this isn't popular, but this Obama supporter welcomes Hillary and her voters to work with us for what is important, our Nation.
If you just absolutely can't set your feelings aside; then just remember Johnson's comment "better to have them inside the tent pissing out, then outside pissing in"
