There is no way Hillary can be the Veep
She gave far too many damning sound bites in the primary.

Arab saying .... you are the master of all words you have not spoken and
words that you have spoken are the master of you.

8. I'm not sure it's a WINNING ticket.
This election, like 2004, is the Dems to lose. They should be way ahead of McCain but they are not because once again they are allowing the Republicans to set the agenda and to define THEIR candidate. The pugs have long ago defined Hillary and what I worry about is if she's on the ticket it will not be McCain against Obama but McCain against Hillary and well we KNOW the pugs have the ammo to throw at Hillary.

Also, right now the extreme right is not all that gung ho about McCain. If the Democrats want to galvanize the religious right then go ahead encourage Hillary to be the VP choice for Barack Obama. It's not hating, it's stating the facts as I see them.

5. As long as she can produce as many damning soundbites about McCain, I'm all for it.
As someone said earlier, she's a high-risk/high-gain choice.

6. Hillary
I´m a long-time Hillary supporter, but I would only want her to take the spot if she is totally coitted to Obama´s vision, and will be a team player. No more maverick VP´s.

7. Obama wants a loyal VP. Not a saboteur. Correction--make that two saboteurs.
It's not going to happen.
