Michelle Obama has spoken; No VP Hillary
onebigdog.net — There are many reasons that an Obama/Clinton ticket is unwise but no matter how many reasons there are for or against the only opinion that will really count is the one offered by Mrs. Obama. She does not want Hillary on the ticket so she won't be. No man wants to go through life hearing his wife repeat “I told you so."

- IconoclastStill, on 05/11/2008, -1/+6Actually, I can't imagine ANY man *wanting* to go through life listening to either shrillary or michelle. Well, maybe some MINO such as alan alda or phil donahue . . . .
- Johneeeee, on 05/11/2008, -4/+4Well that shows Michelle is smarter then about 90% of Leftist commentators. Hillary would bring all here negatives and utterly no positives to the Obama ticket. It would be a politically stupid move
- cquinnd, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1No positives? It might be considered a valid move to build consensus between the current backers of Hillary to have a stronger Democratic party coalition going forward towards the general election. That there are negatives to that idea should be taken into consideration as well.
I think it would be better to target her for a cabinet post than to directly offer her the VP slot.

- Qong, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4I don't know who else could be Obama's VP honestly. None of the other candidates had a whole lot of support, and all of them are part of the political establishment already. So he's really at a loss when picking from any of the former presidential hopefuls.
- cquinnd, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Edwards?
- keymanjim2, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Sure. If you're going to do a remake of Ebony and Ivory.
- diamondbigdog, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2Governor Ted Strictland of Ohio. He is well liked in that state and they must have it to win. Don't know if he is qualified but that does not seem to be an issue with Dems as long as they win...
- cquinnd, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Edwards?
- jerrym123, on 05/11/2008, -1/+3I hope Obama totally shocks the system and gets Chuck Hagel to be his VP That would sink McCain in a second and take 100% of the fight out of the neocons and conservatives. The ultra liberals might not like it at first but in one swift move Obama would demonstrate that this is not politics as usual anymore and it would go a very long way towards making one country not just a collection of red states and blue states.
- cquinnd, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Hagel would have to switch parties though, but it might be an interestig choice
- diamondbigdog, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2Oh, then McCain could pick Hillary and that would bring all her voters over.
When do we get to the part where we do this as an exercise of what is best for the country and not what will score political points or allow someone to win?
- keymanjim2, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Hillery will pull some sleazy wheeling & dealing and will get the nomination, the demosocialist party will split down racial lines and McCain will be our next president.
Better start practicing your "DIEBOLD" cries.
