Since Hillary and some supporters claim the race is "neck and neck," why no talk of HER short list?

[jenmito]

For those of you who REALLY believe that she can still win and is so close to Obama (and winning in the "popular vote"), why no threads about who she should pick for VP?

[Crazy Dave]

1. Even in the past week

Obama and McCain have had the media all up their ass about who they might pick while all I heard about Hillary was Bill Clinton saying she should be Obama's VP or they, the Clintons and their supporters will feel disrespected.

[jenmito]

2. Exactly. So if people, including Hillary, know she's not going to get the nomination

(unless something "unforeseen" happens) how can she keep asking for money and keep claiming she's ahead in the non-existent popular vote and not look for running mates?

[SoFlaJet]

6. Everybody has to fucking tippy-toe

around Tracy Flick as not to hurt her feelings-well fuck that, I'm sick of this shit. What about Michelle's feelings? What about those two beautiful little girls who have to listen to a crazy woman and her delusional crowd make not-so veiled death threats to their father?

[jenmito]

8. I agree. Her latest comment (with her follow-up non-apology) SHOULD put the SDs into action.

Obama's been so gracious to her yet she continues to smear him, making people HATE him thinking he's trying to push her out of the race. It's time to push her out of the race.

[SoFlaJet]

18. hey Jen

be sure to say buh-bye to the "I'm leaving DU" crowd on their way out...

[jenmito]

20. I just did!

:rofl: :hi:

[SoFlaJet]

22. Yea I saw you in there

remember this old song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2azX548ppo....

[jenmito]

24. Good...

the link doesn't go to any particular song, though...

[SoFlaJet]

31. hmmm

OK just humm Oh Happy day by the Edwin Hawkins singers-or Woody Guthrie's So Long It's Been Good To Know Ya or Goodbye To You by Scandal-they all work...

[jenmito]

35. OK...

I will! :hi:

[Liberal Veteran]

5. Remember a few months back when the Clintons offered the frontrunner the vp slot?

Say what you will, but that was crass and hilarious.

[jenmito]

9. Yup. She had no problem saying it's possible they could both be on the ticket...

but SHE wanted to be on the top of it. Now she refuses to even say she's THINKING about it.

[Crazy Dave]

12. I do

It was the first time I thought, "Is she being serious?" but since that time there's been many more

[jenmito]

16. She must've thought the people were stupid...

oh wait...her base IS the "less-educated." :shrug:

[Kittycat]

34. Only her white, racist base that voted Bush, anyway

[jenmito]

36. But did you see the stats shown on MSNBC that

the same number of people in WV and KY that said they'd cross over and vote for McCain crossed over and voted for BUSH?

[Kittycat]

39. Yes.. That's what I was getting at

:)

[jenmito]

41. Oh, ok.

Oops! :hi:

[JVS]

3. If Obama wants the VP spot, it's his.

Take that!

[jenmito]

10. That's as far as she ever got to having a "short list."

But that changed when it became SO clear that she had no chance of winning.

[Liberal Veteran]

4. I think she should pick Lyndon Larouche.

:rofl:

[SoFlaJet]

7. Uh...excuse me

but it IS Pat Paulsen's turn...

[Joe Bacon]

11. What about Mr Hankey?

Considering all the poo Hill-Billy has tossed at Obama, they're a match made in heaven...HI DE HO!!!!!!

[hayu_lol]

15. Per;haps ;she doesn't need a short list to remind her who her choices...

for VP are. She is capable of remembering while perhaps the other guy is not as capable.

Food for thought for the dog pack.

[slackmaster]

13. Why does it always have to be about race?

:argh:

[jenmito]

14. You mean THE race?

[slackmaster]

19. You mean, like La Raza?

;-)

[anigbrowl]

17. Nobody wants to be on it, is why.

[jenmito]

21. True. She couldn't leak one if she tried!

[book_worm]

23. the only short list Hillary might end up on is McCain's because she has done a lot of his

damage for him.

[jenmito]

25. Exactly. And a couple pundits have said the same thing!

:hi:

[pdxmom]

26. You have to also wonder why she hasn't pivoted into some kind of

GE campaign. We see Obama and McSame trading jabs, and really going at some serious issues. Has Clinton said anything that gives us the idea she's looking ahead to the general? I haven't seen it.

[jenmito]

27. I think she may have said SOMETHING about McCain, but he just ignored her...

knowing she wouldn't be running against him anyway.

[VotesForWomen]

28. simple, we're not a bunch of arrogant jerks. in case you didn't notice, the world outside of DU is n

not as in love with O as it is here.

[shadowknows69]

29. I don't know

I'd say maybe a few thousand actively post on DU. Obama drew 75,000 in FLA, you know, the state he is trying to disenfranchise, the state that hates him. I think he's pretty well liked out "there" too.

[Liberal Veteran]

32. Shows what you know. He's following the Decemberists around the country!

To gin up his numbers, because the Decemberists are bigger than U2, the Rolling Stones, and Hannah Montana put together!

[MADem]

37. That is untrue. He drew that number in OREGON. Not Florida.

His biggest crowd in Fl was 16,000+ at a 20,000 seat facility. It was the largest rally ever in FL, but it wasn't seventy five grand.

Not by a LONG shot.

But hey, facts are given the same weight as "truthiness" around here. Whatever.

I cite, because bullshit is tiresome:
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/state/content/state/epaper/2008/05/23/barackobamasuperstar0524.html

U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, said the gathering of more than 16,000 people at the BankAtlantic Center on Friday was the "largest crowd that has ever assembled for a political rally in Florida."

[shadowknows69]

40. I stand corrected about the location

What was the Black Widow's last crowd again?

[MADem]

42. Wow, real classy. This is a Democratic website? Sounds more like FR. NT

[jenmito]

30. Oh, so you DO have a "short list" in mind but don't want to brag about it?

OK! :rofl:

[Liberal Veteran]

33. It's short because it's useless

Clinton ain't gonna win this primary.

[jenmito]

38. I agree. But if she keeps up the charade that she's still "neck and neck" with Obama,

wouldn't SHE have a VP list, too? (Rather than having her surrogates suggest she deserves to be on OBAMA'S ticket?)

[Iceburg]

43. She offered it to Obama months ago. If he doesn't want it -- its Clark /eom
