3. c'mon. read it again slowly. seriously.
In this scenario we either have a split ticket of Obama and Clinton in some fashion, and mccain. Faced with those choices, would you vote for a Clinton/Obama ticket, and if so, who should be at the top of that ticket.

I am smoking tho, Just to be fair.

7. Her policy positions aren't that different
from Obama's. I don't personally like Clinton very much but I'm not voting for my new BFF. I am voting to put Democrats in the WHite House. I'm never going to meet either one of them anyway so whether or not I feel like having a beer or a barbecue with them is not an issue.

10. Yes, but only if you want McCain to win. Same in reverse. It would prove to everyone that both Dems
are bald faced liars with zero integrity.

11. How about you?
I am an Obama supporter. I could live with Obama/Clinton, but not Clinton/Obama. Could you vote for an Obama/Clinton ticket, or would it have to be Clinton/Obama, or could you not vote for a ticket with Obama?

12. 28 years of BushClinton trickle down corporatist reverse robin hood middle class destroying bullshit
No Clintons on this, or any other Democratic ticket in the future. Cut the head off the DLC and watch it die.

14. Why?
People always try to twist it into an issue of people not voting that day because "their candidate" didn't win, for a lot of people I know that's not the case at all. They are just tired of voting against our best interests and the way she ran this campaign simply reinforced every fear people have had about everything from the DLC to the Clinton's to whatever else.

There are a lot of people out there who like Obama well enough but they could have got behind Edwards or others as well if they were topping the ticket, or maybe they are just tired of the repubs and wanted about anyone who was a change from that. Just not her, and in no small part due to the way she campaigned, her approval numbers have dived and disapproval climbed through this. The VP office isn't the back seat ride along it used to be. After what Cheney showed could be done with it there is a real concern for power struggles and conflicts, her trying to drive policy from that office.

Some days I think maybe I could hold my nose and vote for a ticket with her on it, but most days I'm pretty sure I'd just stay home and get drunk or something instead. Nothing to do with my candidate or not. Just that I'm tired of voting for people who I know are going to hurt us. If we just stop doing that maybe they'll be forced to listen to us one day instead of ignoring us and playing to the right.

17. I'm not an Obama supporter but I *DESPISE* Clinton.
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 06:20 AM by Tesha
I used to like her (and supported financialy her run for
the Senate).

Then came her vote on the IWR (and various issues relating
to our rights) and I came to dislike her.

Then I saw how she campaigns and I came to despise her.

If she's on the ticket anywhere, my vote goes elsewhere.
It is more important that the Clintons, Republican moles
inside our own party, be defeated than that we win one
election against the external enemy of the Republicans.
If we fix the Clinton/DLC cancer that is killing our
party, we set a path towards winning many elections in
the future. But if we let the cancer grow and metastasize,
we ensure that some kind of Republicans will be controlling
the country for decades to come.

And we can't afford that.

15. any ticket that includes hillary
is a loser. If she's on the ticket , not only do we lose the presidency but probably the senate and maybe the house. No one will bring more republicans to the polls and drive away more independents than hillary.
