30. If Obama chooses HRC as VP, I will severely cut back on grassroots efforts
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 01:18 PM by zulchzulu
If she is the VP nominee, I will not do the Obama table any more in Madison and will severely cut back on grassroots efforts.

It's that simple.

It would be the worst possible choice EVER. Why?

Having the Clintons on the ticket would overwhelm the new numbers of voters who are voting for change with every knucklehead in the country voting AGAINST the Clintons.

The African-American vote would stay home. The youth vote would fall off. The Clintons would overshadow Obama and all the assholes in her campaign would drag the campaign down. We would be fucked.

Even IF Obama won with her as the VP, it would be the SAME FUCKING SHIT with Bill Clinton getting in the goddamn way and WHATEVER ELSE he does...

Barack, DO NOT pick her as VP. If you do, I am out.
