3. Wow. Read this line from the article: |
|
"There's talks of vice presidency, and the Clinton sources say there would be "civil war" in the party if she wasn't offered the job."

Obama should have pushed her out long before she got this far. The Superdelegates could have avoided this too, weeks ago, if they hadn't been so afraid of hurting her little feelings and her lemmings' feelings as well.

12. Ah, that Clinton subtlety we've come to despise! Then Civil War it is. |
|
It's time to run this family of Grifters out of the Democratic party for good. I don't care where they go, as long as they get the hell out of the Democratic party.

4. Sounds like a yo-yo situation to me.... |
|
And I had to laugh at this quote:
"But there's a risk that if she isn't invited on the ticket, Hillary's political and financial supporters may not feel compelled to be as integrated and involved in the Obama campaign in order to provide the maximum support that he'll need to prevail in November."
Considering Hillary's poor finance condition...debt, late payment of bills and lower amounts contributed, I don't think it would make a lot of difference if she isn't on the ticket. However, I have heard many (me included) who will not donate to an Obama/Clinton ticket. A few months ago, I was open to supporting her, if she was the nominee. I will support Obama with dollars and hands-on assistance without question, though.
Hillary has pushed the envelope too far.

19. She the second best fundraiser in the party....so is Bill. |
|
How can you deny or ignore that fact?
She has MILLIONS already on hand for the GE which she would give to Obama. Don't cut your nose off to spite Hillary. Think about it!
Take off your partisan tin hat and you'll feel better.

9. I bet the story's true. |
|
There's going to be all kinds of wheelings and dealings behind closed doors which we'll never hear about, and they'll always deny.

10. its kind of a misleading headline by CNN because the gist of the reporting |
|
indicates that there is nothing going on approved by the candidates or the Obama campaign just some Clinton staffers trying to get Obama's campaign to offer something so she can leave with dignity.
Unfortunately the 'dignity' ship sailed some time ago.

11. A wet dream by CNN and the media....sorry, until I hear or see Hillary asking for it..... |
|
...I do not believe it. It doesn't make any sense. The US Senate needs all its Democrats because the Senate GE may not be the sure thing people believe it will be.

13. Why does she need an exit strategy? All she has to do is announce she is dropping out ... |
|
just like Edwards and the others did.
