Poll question: What are the odds of Hillary as VP?
Edited on Mon May-17-04 09:48 PM by ButterflyBlood
I'm getting annoyed at her being mentioned in polls. Kerry isn't stupid enough to add her, she's already said no, she offers NO advantages whatsoever, she shouldn't even be mentioned. I vote for the last option.

1. She is the Repukes' wet dream.
She knows that, and that's why she has no interest in running, as Prez OR veep.

3. depends on who you ask...
in Dick Morris' mind 100 percent
in reality slim to none. Its a repub angle to try to link Kerry to clenus even if he doesn't pick her.

5. Unlikely.
Quite unfairly, she is a highly polarizing figure. She would motivate the right-wing base, which is why the righties (and generally only the righties) want her.

Hit the nail on the head.

Not to mention, that if Hillary were the VP nominee, she'd receive more attention from the media than would Kerry. That wouldn't fly with Kerry, and it'd be a disservice to the Democrats.
