One of her top supporters, fellow New York Sen. Charles Schumer, said today that Clinton would accept the No. 2 spot.

"She has said if Senator Obama should want her to be vice president and thinks it would be best for the ticket, she will serve, she will accept that," Schumer told ABC's "Good Morning America. "But on the other hand, if he chooses someone else, she will work just as hard for the party in November."

1. That's nice. nt

[bemildred]

32. Yes. nt

[high density]

2. Clinton is better at sending mixed messages than anybody else

Deny. Approve. Deny. Approve.

It makes one's head spin.

She can shut this all down, but she likes the chaos.

[underpants]

3. Just imagine

if she (and they) had been as focused on Iowa.... :eyes:

[Kierkegaard]

5. Her responses should all be prefaced with:

"What time is it now?"

[jasmine621]

22. Why can't you just accept the words from Hillary's mouth and not

the words someone puts into her mouth?

[Zhade]

34. Because they're so often lies?

NT!

[madaboutharry]

4. These communications to the media

are counter-productive. It is either very cunning or else the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Either way, this is not helpful.

[onehandle]

6. But... But I thought she wanted us to looooose!

I read it at Democratic Underground, so it must be true.

[John Q. Citizen]

9. She doesn't care what we do. It's all about her

[stillrockin]

7. Sweet. She'll make a great VP for Grampy McSame.

[driver8]

8. Ha Ha -- good one!! n/t

[still_one]

10. Schumer, wasn't he the person who gave us the AG we have today?

[onehandle]

13. Yes. All Democrats are baaaaaad except Obama.

Bill Clinton had one Attorney General.

Chimpy McFailure has had three.

We have been picking them off, but Bush would never nominate a decent one.

Try again.

[lidem]

27. he's also the senator that brought us such a big victory in 2006

he did a great job as chairing the DSCC.

I'm so proud to have Schumer and Clinton as my senators!!

[Pastiche423]

28. You are proud that shumer gave us AG Mukasey?

Why in hell would that make you proud?

[lidem]

30. no i never said that

n/t

[TechBear_Seattle]

11. I woun't turn down an offer of $10 million. That doesn't mean I'll get such an offer.

And I pray to every god/dess that has ever existed that Clinton gets no such offer.

[SoFlaJet]

15. I get them every day TechBear

in fact all I have to do is send my SS# and bank information to a Mr. Yan and 'viola SFJ is a rich man

[TechBear_Seattle]

17. That would be as useful as having Clinton as VP

:toast:

[msongs]

12. no clinton VP please, if it s a new day, make it a completely new day nt

[SoFlaJet]

14. ...yea and Mike Mukasey

would make an EXCELLENT Attorney General....no thanks Chuckie

[joanmj]

16. Great choice!

:dem: NOW is the time.

[underpants]

18. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[awoke_in_2003]

24. The problem I have with this

is the possible loss of two senate seats. Would those areas likely elect another democrat, yes. But I trust nothing with electronic voting. Welcome to DU

[Paranoid Pessimist]

19. If she were VP I would always wonder if, in her secret . . .

heart-of-hearts, she wouldn't be secretly hoping to become the first woman president the LBJ way.

[lark]

23. Your name fits you very well

[sutz12]

20. I'd rather she stayed in the Senate...

In fact, I'm kind of against any Dem Senator being the VP candidate, at least in his first term. Better to keep and solidify our majority.

Besides, many of these 'tactics' people hate so much are invaluable in the legislative process. :)

[Jefferson23]

21. I am looking forward to hearing Clinton speak on saturday, this will

tell me a great deal about her intentions. Obama has the right to decide who he wants as VP period.

[rhett o rick]

25. Who is listening to that turn coat DINO. nm

[Boo Boo]

26. Best reason yet not to offer. /nt

[Zuiderelle]

29. The best thing about Hillary being on the ticket... is the number of people who will be banned if

they continue to trash her here. This place will be positively peaceful.

[Skittles]

31. the circle-jerkers would foam at the mouth

that WOULD be fun to see

[Zhade]

35. She won't be on the ticket, and pointing our her proven dishonesty isn't trashing her.

NT!

[Zhade]

33. Obama's not stupid - he won't hand mcLame ammo in the form of the Tuzla video...

...thus enabling him to easily prove beyond question that clinton's a liar.

Nor will he allow mcLame to play the video wherein she endorses him over Obama, thus undercutting the ticket.
