For All Those Bemoaning The Fact That There Will Be No Unity Ticket
Thank your girl Hillary for destroying that potentiality. Her intentional tactic to create rifts within the party has negated any chance of this. You could also blame Mark Penn, Wolfson etc., but then they really are under the direction of Hillary, aren't they?

1. Well, to be fair
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 01:26 PM by eileen_d
Obama has also publicly rejected the idea (of being Hillary's VP I mean)

3. He is leading. Why would the leader in the race want to be cast in second place?

8. Of course, he wouldn't
That occurred to me on edit. But the race is close enough that there's no real reason for Hillary to wake up one morning and go for the VP slot either.

2. I never considered Obama/HRC to be a unity ticket.
A ticket that didn't include either one of them would be more likely to unify the party.

4. Who is "Bemoaning"
The "Unity Ticket" was just some thing cooked up by the media

7. Not I. There are plenty of instances castigating the Obama
campaign for not wanting a "unity ticket" within GD-P.

9. I'd bemoan it if there were a unity ticket. Pelosi had it right for once.

10. The only uniting Hillary supporters want is over Hillary
When Hillary supporters call for Unity - for a dream ticket - and then say they will not unite over Obama this November is wrong on many levels.

You guys are messing up more than you think.

As Pelosi also said "Take it from me, that won't be the ticket." I believe her. And I don't like to step out on the ledge in believing any politician.

11. I don't know why either would do it
They could arguably have more influence by staying in the senate than by serving as veep.

17. I support a Unity Ticket
I would rather see a Obama/Clark or Obama/Biden ticket, but I think a Obama/Clinton has a better chance in Nov.

19. Hillary Clinton is nobody's "girl".
She is an attorney, a graduate of Yale Law School, a best-selling author, a United States Senator, and a candidate for her party's nomination to be the next President of the United States. How does that match up with your resume, Sparky?

25. You make no sense.
But I love the dramatic title. BTW, if you are going to put NT, I suggest putting it in the headline, as it really serves no purpose in the body.
