well, I'll vote for Hillary, However I will NOT vote for a Hillary / Obama combination. I don't like Obama, he's way too smug and full of himself, as well as the fact that he has no where near enough actual
experiance to have a clue. Hillary needs to pick a good running mate that is for sure, Obama is not the choice however. I don't want to vote
Republican but that ticket or Obama will force me to vote for McCain.
That's awfully cheeky of her, considering that she's still losing the delegate count as of today. The Clinton team can't do math very well, can they?
May be you just don't like Obama because he is smart, responsible and not your typical politician who wants to destroy the credibility of his or her opponents. Let us face it, Hillary is winning the democratic states. At the end of the day in a general, Obama will win the Democratic States and digs in the Red and Purple states to become the first black US president. Oh no, the second one, if we count the players Bill Clinton and Abraham Lincoln.
Senator Clinton's 'hinting' that she might choose Senator Obama as her running mate, if she turns out to be the nominee, is another of her attempts to hoodwink the American public. She knows perfectly well that Barack Obama would never be willing to take the worthless, do-nothing job of Vice President, and especially not on her ticket, since he would never be willing to sully his reputation for integrity by associating himself so closely with Hillary Clinton.
Her underhanded and duplicitous behavior in this election have been a disgrace to the Democratic party. She is trying to attract more voters for herself, not only by deceiving people about Senator Obama's record, but by trying to convince the voters that they can vote for her and get Obama, too. Anyone who knows Senator Obama's record and attitudes knows that he would never, never agree to be on her ticket, and he is running for President and nothing else in this election.
Somewhat presumptive considering she's still behind on the delegate count. The only way for her to win is to continue her negative campaigning, and take it to the convention and seat Michigan and Florida, splitting the democratic party in the process. If she wins I'll sit this one out as I can't in good conscience vote for either her or McCain. She's as dirty as the republicans at this point.
...these are the Clintons...
i wouldnt mind the either one.....clinton/obama or vice versa obama/clinton. The Republicans need to aired out for a few years...they are getting a bit stinky.
'too smug and full of himself?' How could you even consider voting for a McCain ticket, essentially a reaffirmation of the status quo? While I'll admit McCain is the least vile of the recently departed, his stance on the 'war' is intollerable, and his admitted unfamiliarity with the economic issues is frightening. Although your vote would likely not be missed, think about what you're saying. Combine the tenacity of the Clintons with the vision of Obama, who could ask for more?
I'm afraid McCain and Hillary are not that far off on the issues, if you look closely.
Both voted for this war (remember?)
Domestically, McCain is farther to the right, but not nearly enough. Hillary has fooled you into believing she's anti-free trade, but anyone who was there in the 90's knows better.
Now Hirrary is mouthing fed healthcare, but she's tried that old chestnut before.
So, who is fooling who here?
@Leo from Michigan
And I'll vote for Obama, but I won't vote for a Hillary/Obama ticket because 1) she will most likely have to fight dirty and steal the nomination to get it, 2) it will be a Devil's deal to get Obama to agree to the VP spot, and 3) Hillary's policy stances (especially on HealthCare) scare me- she's a Socialist, not a Democrat.
So if everyone is typical of our two views, where does this leave us? With McCain (ick) in the office. Happy days indeed.
Billary will say anything to get elected.
Obama should not even consider Billary when he accepts the nomination. Let the Clintons go back to Arkansas or New York. Just go away.
you seems to get Hillary! 'Stanton Rabin & Leo in Michigan' wake up you are being fooled and yes hoodwinked by Hilary, you say Obama is smug look at the tele take a long good look at Hillary, she is deavious and the worst kind of politician, she is out for the rich and to fatten her husband back pockets,look at the Bushes! her health care issues scary. Who is the lesser of three evils? Obama is fresh, has new ideas, no regurgitating of her Bill Clinton issues, we need new blood too many Bush/Clinton/Bush we do not need another piggybacking of another Clinton.
Lets refresh our economy and bring our jobs back from outsourcing. VOTE OBAMA!
HRC has a secret plan to designate WJC as her running mate.
Then, once elected, HRC will resign and WJC will be back in the saddle for 4 MORE years!!!
..after marrying a philandering low life, helping him win the presidency, then staying with him to get all the way to the white house, she's just gonna take off...
Any more like you at home in the basement? Are they all wearing tinfoil caps like you?
Oh sooo true, the Clintons are just as bad as the Bush's thats why we need new blood send the Clintons away for good.
I can't wait until the super-delegates decide this thing...negating the vote of half of the democrat party.
This convention is going to make 1968 look like a Sunday school picnic.
I live two blocks from polling place ,but if OBAMA is all i have to vote for I'll just stay home.
..the Clintons are far worse than any of the Bush family. The Clintons did things tha Bsu never did and never had it held up to scrutiny.
Bush, on the other hand, has been treated as though he's done allof what Clinton did, while doing nothing of the sort.
Take Iraq as an example: Clinton conducted a war over Romania and Kosovo, but was never pilloried for it like Bush was Iraq.
Clinton's result, as we can plainly see, was a failure, and it wss never acknowledged
Bush, on the other hand, had democrats vote for this war, and then pillory him for it after THEY gfreenlighted it!
Bush has never gotten the breaks ol Billy did, while having to clean up after him.
Dems blame Bush for Osama getting away, but Clinton HAD him offered up on a platter. Clinton also pardoned 4(?) Puerto Rican terrorists and was never held to account for it.
No...GW Bush is nothing like Clinton
I agree with you guys that Obama is the one who will really scare away Democratic voters. I was watching Ralph Nader on CSpan and he was getting calls saying they would never vote for Obama. He is really provoking, arrogant, attacking, and makes the most imaginary almost psychotic accusations about Hillary. He is certifiable narcissistic. That is the problem with people who shine like that, they really have a dark side.
You people who are anti-Obama suck, simply because you aren't offering any substantial reasons why he shouldn't get my vote.
