Poll question: Obama for vicepresident?
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 09:50 AM by antiimperialist
Who would you like Hillary Clinton's nominee for vicepresident to be, if she wins the Democratic primaries?

1. We could do worse than Obama. But Webb or Clark top my list

2. Webb doesn't sound bad at all
I didn't have him in mind.

5. We need Webb where he is.
Clark I'd go for, however.

6. Barak would only make HRC look bad by comparison and we need her to win
It's that simple

7. Why? He hasn't in the campaign? What makes you think he'd suddenly become something else?

9. Obama would make Hillary look like she should be the VP and him be the President.
She's going to pick someone that makes her look stronger. It won't be Obama, Clark, Edwards, or anyone else that is more impressive than her.

11. I think that Hillary wants to win, and she won't be one to "worry"
about how Strong she looks compared to anyone other than looking stronger than her GOP opponent and looking strong to the voters, even if that means selecting a strong VP.

So unlike you, I believe that she will not hesitate in choosing a strong VP for the Dem ticket if that translate into a winning ticket. In fact, I believe that she is smart enough to select someone that will strenghten the ticket, not select a non entity that won't make her a winner.

I don't know why so many attempt to make her out to be a narcistic egomaniac.......because nothing back this theory up.

I repeat.......Hillary is running to win. She will select whomever will help her do that, and I doubt that she imagines that looking "stronger" than the Veep will somehow give her the edge with voters. I don't believe that she thinks that for even one minute.

15. Or the ability to have been not in a position of power before it begins,
and thus not have to take a stand on it until results are in.

18. I think you mistake me for a Hillary supporter.
I can assure you that I am not. I'll vote for her in the GE but she is not on my list of viable primary candidates.
