Obama should accept the VP from Hillary - its the best offer you'll get

[quinnox]

NOW that Obama has taken a torpedo that will surely sink his campaign as sure as the U.S.S. Titanic, Obama should gracefully withdraw and accept the VP offer from Hillary and endorse her IMMEDIATELY!

That will take the heat of Obama and no one will pay attention anymore to Rezco or Rev. Wright because they will have HIllary to focus on once again.

This way, Obama can save his political career from utter ruin and be in prime postion to make a run for president in 8 years after Hillarys administration is done.

Then he will have all the experience and no one will care about an old story like Rezco or Rev. Wright.

Obama do the right thing before you are so battered and destroyed politically and lose all the political status and end up like another Spitzer, a spectacular rise and fall.

[anonymous171]

1. He's ahead. If anything, she should go for VP.

If she steals this by SDs I will so write-in Obama.

[SoFlaJet]

8. sniff...sniff...smell that anonymous171?

that's the smell of a desperate candidate's support team about to lose, that probably has some troubling inside tracking data out of the Keystone State

[NOLALady]

16. I've also decided to do a write-in

if the SD steals.

Hubby is not happy with my decision, but I will not vote for her if the SDs are unfair.

[alteredstate]

62. I'm considering it, too.

[mod mom]

75. NO THANKS- He can find a much better candidate w/o the corporate strings attached &

with real foreign policy experience as opposed to her contrived.

[roguevalley]

90. she should leave or take it herself. right now, if she hurts us as much

as people believe she is, she will be a lonely little senator for the rest of her career. Of course, she can suck up to the remnant of the GOP that still belong to the Fellowship.

[msongs]

2. he should accept the vp offer from al gore - now THERE is a winning combo nt

[Drachasor]

66. I wanted to vote for Gorebama, but I'm happy voting for Obama too

[babylonsister]

3. That's three, thankfully. nt

[MNDemNY]

4. Better do it fast...Drip...drip...drip...

That boat might leave the port ...soon.

[JackORoses]

55. The Ship has sailed and Obama is its Captain

Hillary wasn't even offered the post of Cabin Boy.

Wish you would come aboard. But History waits on no man.

[adoraz]

5. LOL

I feel bad for those who actually believe this will sink his campaign.

If Super Yuesday was tomorrow, this would be bad, but..........


this happened at the best possible time.

[superkia]

79. I second your...LOL!

[pajjr]

6. I hope

He is not too radioactive for vp after all of this controversy

[Joe the Revelator]

7. You guys are so funny in a dopey kind of way.

The story is over.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Will the Queen be needing her fuzzy slippers as well?

:eyes:

[Milo_Bloom]

10. Hmm, the chance to be on a losing ticket??

No thanks, he'll take the 0

[Lucinda]

11. I think it's probably too late for Veep.

If this hurts him enough to kill his own run, he won't be put on the ticket.

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Yup...get right on that

[elixir]

82. Good work. YOu should work on a campaign and put your skills to good use.

[Adelante]

13. You guys!

:D

[scheming daemons]

14. Wow.. I've always heard about people that live in alternate realities.... but

I've never actually seen one who suffered from it as badly as you.


Obama isn't going anywhere... to your chagrin.... and it is a LONG 5 weeks until PA... and by then, you would have shot every beebee in your gun.

Rezko and Wright will be mentioned less in PA than the "handshake snub" is mentioned now.


5+ weeks is a LONG LONG time... and there will be NO voting until then.


Sorry Hillbots... you shoulda pushed this story a couple days before Super Tuesday.... not now.... too late for you.

[quinnox]

47. We shall see

Time will tell! I don't buy into Obama supporters "hopes".

Reality can be a hard mistress indeed!

[Hepburn]

15. So Hillary the loser is offering Obama the winner the second spot...

...ROFPIMPLMAO!!! :rofl:

Too funny...!!!

[jenmito]

33. Great cartoon!

Hi, Hepburn! :hi:

[Hepburn]

49. Heya, Jen....!!!

Thanks...and great to see ya! :hi:

[jenmito]

56. K&R your post!

:D

[quinnox]

43. that cartoon is sexist!

The little woman between the macho men!

[frylock]

50. squawk!

[Hepburn]

51. GMAFB.....

...are you desperate much???

She is a LITTLE PERSON. Her gender is irrelevant....duh...:eyes:

[Arugula Latte]

57. Are you really that satire-impaired?

The cartoon made her small because McCain and Obama are the frontrunners and going after each other, not because she's a woman.

Sheesh, as a woman, I find these continuous false cries of "Sexism!" embarrassing. :eyes:

[tabasco]

64. Get a grip.

It's the delusional loser between the two nominees.

[bunnies]

17. He'll never do it.

And I wouldnt have voted for him if I thought otherwise.

[kwenu]

18. Been out celebrating the luck o' the Irish have ye??

Because you must be drunk.

[reflection]

19. arrogance. n/t

[Botany]

20. Her and her campaign have brought up:

Race, religion, drugs, phony NAFTA stories, Rove,
Bush, Ken Starr, plagiarism, tried changing the rules
of the game, and have been no good shits .... she
is getting her ass kicked too.

28 years of a bush or a Clinton is enough.

[redstate_democrat]

21. Obama will not

take the VP slot under ANY condition...even if he ends up with fewer votes, delegates, etc. He has TOO much integrity for that. Too much. There is NO WAY he would do it after what Hillary has done. She will have to go at it alone and go down in a huge ball of flames. If she goes at it, she will lose, OH, Penn, Maryland, DC, MO, NJ, and forget about any swing states or red states that might have crossed over. This is her first and last chance at any hope at a prez run. Either way, she's done after this year as far as presidential politics.

[Drunken Irishman]

22. I love pseudo Clinton posters.

They liven up this board. :)

Hats off to you, quinnox, you're really good at pulling off the irrational mindset of the extreme Clinton supporters.

[moriah]

23. I can't count him out myself....

But I think both of them would be fools not to consider a joint ticket, whoever heads it.

With it being this close, if it stays this close to the convention I think that's the way they need to play it, if someone has a lead in both pledged delegates and popular vote, put them at the head of the ticket, and give the other the VP slot.

The quote I heard from Hillary was essentially "Many people have said 'I wish I could vote for both of you', well you may be able to do that". I didn't hear what Bill said so he might have specifically said VP, but the soundbyte I heard from Hillary on Potus08 (gotta love XM) didn't say who would be the head of the ticket in her scenario.

The American People have definitely said, VERY clearly, that they'd like both of them to be in the White House. Regardless of who is at the head of the ticket, I think the DNC and the candidates should listen to that!

[Botany]

30. Nice try

The American People have definitely said, VERY clearly, that they'd like both of them to be in the White House.


She has a 47% negative rating.

[moriah]

58. Okay, how about American DEMOCRATS?

Those who have voted so far, with the race being so close, have shown that both candidates have very strong support among those who didn't care to vote in the Republican primaries in their states -- those who decided to go Democrat this year.

Better?

(And don't even go into the issue of crossover Repukes voting for a Democrat in the primary who plan to vote Republican in the GE. Please. I've seen personally where a few stupid people I worked with decided to cross party line for the primary and then said they were going to vote for the Republican in November. I'd rather not get back into that subject. I'd like to believe those who are so stupid as to vote for a person they DON'T want to be in the White House to be very low. I want to keep my faith in humanity....)

[Botany]

60. The race isn't close

Obama has won Jan., Feb., & March.

He has never been behind and his lead keeps getting
bigger. BTW Obama just picked up 8 more from Iowa
today.

The 47% negative rating is among all Americans including
some dems.. Her car can never win the race ... end of story.

BTW the cross over vote got her Texas (the election ... she got
thumped in the caucus) and I think Ohio too.

[Texas Hill Country]

24. I actually think that will be a smart move

if he looses the GE, he becomes a lifetime Senator, which would be a shame. I really did want him to be president some day.

[okasha]

25. He's too damaged to make a credible VP candidate.

The party needs to cut its losses. There are plenty of good African-American Dems who could be sound running mates now and better potential presidents in 16.

[bowens43]

27. it's true , all hillary supporters are insane!!

[okasha]

46. Have another slug of Kool-Aid dear.

You'll never even know those brain cells are gone.

[Hepburn]

52. I will second that....

...this thread proves it, IMO!

[bowens43]

26. Let's look at your logic.....

Obama has the most pledged delegates
Obama has won more primaries
Obama has won more caucuses
Obama has won more of the popular vote.
Obama leads hillary in every national poll

and you think that being VP to your ethically and morally bankrupt candidate is the best offer he'll get?

Are all hillary supporters out their fucking minds? Do you realize how foolish your pst makes you and your candidate look?

[Seeker30]

36. Did you just wake up?

[PseudoIntellect]

28. R.M.S. Titanic*

I guess this story proves he's not a viable candidate. He's just leading in pledged delegates, primary delegates, caucus delegates, senator endorsements, states won, governor endorsements, donors, money raised, and draws crowds of 20,000 at rallies. He's obviously done.

[XemaSab]

86. Yes, RMS Titanic

:D

[scheming daemons]

29. I have to believe ppl like the OP actually work for Obama.... they have the

opposite effect that Clinton would want.


Let's

1) Galvanize the opposition
2) Make them work even harder
3) Make our own candidate's supporters cringe
4) Make it look like our candidate only has morons supporting her.


You... and jlake... and herman..... and several others.... you really make it VERY EASY to support Obama.

[Faygo Kid]

31. Are you up to your third post of the day yet, so we can be done with you?

How very predictable of you.

Your concern for Sen. Obama is touching.

Transparently fraudulent, of course, but touching.

[quinnox]

35. lol, no but don't worry

This is my last thread for the day!

I will give all the Obama supporters a break, I'm really a nice guy.

[thoughtcrime1984]

32. Before I put you on ignore

Hillary will be lucky to retain her Senate seat, she should probably just fade away after this horrible, divisive performance. Your arrogance is duly noted, and will be returned to you when the time is right. If and when Hillary's baggage is finally wheeled out, she will be in for a nice pummeling. Rezko and Wright will look like nothing compared to the Clinton's malfeasance. Oh, and where are the tax returns and the earmarks? Nothing to hide, I presume. Well, at least Bush can rest easy if McClinton gets in office......

[quinnox]

40. no, Hillary is a lock in NY

She has the Senate seat for life if she wants it. Don't worry about HIllary she will do fine. Maybe even be in the White House once again, but this time as president!

[Hepburn]

54. I hope to hell that you will eat these words some day. I would like nothing better...

...than to see her lose her ass in a NY US Senatorial election.

[bvar22]

87. Last poll I saw had Hillary beating McCain by only 53%.

New Yorkers have a history of turning mean to carpetbaggers.

[bluestateguy]

34. Uh, wasn't the plagiarism thing supposed to sink him?

This all sounds remarkably like a lot posters on this board over the last 7 years: "this story has legs...Bush is toast", "This is the beginning of the end for Bush..."

[marmar]

37. Enjoyed your weekend in Amsterdam, did you?

:smoke:

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

38. Cognitive dissonance, thy name is quinnox.

According to you, Obama is now unelectable because of Rezco and Wright, yet he'd make a great VP for Hillary. :eyes:

[Window]

39. HUBRIS, like your candidate.

[AGirl]

41. oh shut up. You are not helping anything.

[stray cat]

42. Hillary can't have him as VP - she says he isn't prepared

I guess he will have to win the presidency

[Arkana]

44. Mmm-hmm.

Yep.

Say, dude, can I have a hit of whatever you're smoking? It must be some good shit.

[Forkboy]

45. I love to see one post from where you're not an idjit.

You were more fun when you were always defending Joe Lieberman. Those were the days.

[polichick]

48. It's the winner who gets to choose the veep.

[jeffrey_X]

53. this stuff is bullshit.

I now can't tell the difference between Hannity & Rush bots and Hillary bots.

[TheCowsCameHome]

59. That's really funny. Thanks.

I needed the laugh.

[Radical Activist]

61. OK Bagdhad Bob.

Hillary isn't going to be the nominee and Obama wouldn't benefit by being VP candidate on a losing ticket.

[Gore1FL]

63. I'd stick with president if I were him

and offer the VP to Sebelius.

Clinton has pissed off enough people in the last few months to make her Senate re-election tough.

[Avalux]

65. Did you see what happened in Iowa today?

He picked up more delegates than expected and Hillary lost one. This, after the SHOCKING news about Wright. :rofl:

[goclark]

67. Dup

[goclark]

68. Have you checked the Boards about the Religious Society

that she belongs to in DC?

Believe its called the Fellowship.

[boppers]

69. LOL

:rofl: Brilliant Satire. Hillary winning this? This late in the game?

That's gonna take just a wee bit more than having a preacher with a snappy tongue.

[jmg257]

70. Yep - nothing like disproving "mean" speeches about "rich white people in charge" by supporting...

rich white people.

Get a clue. We NEED a change in this country, and Hillary OR McCain ain't it.

GOBAMA!

[cali]

71. only assholes think they have real crystal balls and the terminally

stupid.

[RiverStone]

76. It's stupid no matter who you root for...

Let the people decide.

peace~:)

[AlinPA]

72. I read this to my wife (not a DU'er); she laughed. Then said "that's a joke, right?"

[izzybeans]

73. Yeah I know have a look at this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/

[Johnny__Motown]

74. Delusional, this will be old news a month before the next primary. Stop getting your hopes up

they will simply be crushed at the convention (if not sooner)

[greguganus]

77. lay off the 'shrooms. n/t

[kid a]

78. actually, a correction on your logic, Obama gains more momentum today

more delegates added
Wright fervor fading.

I think he is in Tip Top shape!
=)

(might want to change your title from accept/ from to offer / to

[The Doctor.]

80. Tell you what, if people are still talking about Wright in 2 weeks I'll stop laughing at your post.

If you call what Obama's gone through 'battery' and 'political destruction', then Clinton has long since been 'destroyed'.

Seriously, live in reality.

[elixir]

81. Oh heavens, I haven't read all the posts yet but I can just imagine what they're like. BTW i agree.

[LordJFT]

83. hahhahahahahashahahaha

[JTFrog]

84. Another Opposite Day in HillaryWorld.

[thevoiceofreason]

85. You are so full of shit.

Obama '08

[LuvMyPorsche]

88. no way

I'd certainly be AGAINST naming BO as a Veep.

A member of Obamanation would certainly try something stupid to get BO in the WH.

[JTFrog]

89. WTF are you implying there? You know, I'm just sick of these bullshit fear/scare tactics.

Seriously. Your accusation is more than just a little offensive.

[cooolandrew]

91. Sorry aint gonna happen. Nah ah. =)Obama"I'm not running for vice president I'm running for POTUS"

Take care good night. :bounce: :toast:
