Enough with the Hillary already
if Hillary wanted to VP she shouldn't have said in clear plain English that McCain is ready and Obama is not.

with that alone, she blew it. A lot of us who weren't too emotionally invested in Obama could forgive some reasonable attacks. It was a primary.

But to undercut your own party's possible nominee while praising the other party's to the sky is too much. Many of us were pretty shocked and felt betrayed.

Not saying we can never forgive her. She's out there now campaigning and hopefully taking back some of her more unfair attacks.

If she does that, all's forgiven, but consider the awful things she said about him, why the hell would he want her around after all that?

If someone attacked you in the ways she attacked him, would you want to give them the job? Even if you didn't really hold a grudge, you wouldn't want them around.

Besides, the Republicans are dying the run against her, even as VP -do you need me to explain why?..........

It would energize the Republican base in ways that would seriously hurt Obama's chances. So, No I don't hate Hillary (I wish her all the luck), but it's a bad idea.

Please, Hillary fans and fellow Dems, let this go, for the sake of the party, let her go back and take over Senate Majority Leader from Reid (who just is not getting the job done) where she can perform a lot of the same kind of heroics for the middleclass she intended to perform in the whitehouse.

Is it a deal?

1. Enough with the speculation already
(not to you OP, but in general)

Folks need to sit back and calm down. Send some flowers to Cleveland for Rep. Tubbs-Jones, that's more important than aganozing over Hillary or anybody else.

5. No shit
It's not as anything we say here on DU is going to make even the slightest impact on his decision. I'm content to sit back and wait for my text message to come in. All this debate over who should and shouldn't be the VP is a wee bit much for my tastes. I prefer to focus my energy on McBush.

3. The way to stop something is to stop it.
When you yell "Stop shouting!" from a window, you've added to the shouting.

And Obama gave better than he got, so the bitter feelings are on both sides. Since you brought it up.

If Obama picks the Clintons (it would be both of them whether we like it or not), I'm done. Gone.
