The dream ticket will be. And O’Bambam will still pay off her debts thru fundraisers. The really really good part you ask?… They’re both losers.

Keep the cameras posted at McGovern’s house to get his reaction when his record is broken.

She knows Obama can’t win and voters typically don’t vote for the VP slot. Does she want to tighten up the Obama-McCain race but ultimately be defeated or is it better to step aside at the last moment, and let Obama take one for the team, then return in 4 years to say I told ya.

My guess is she steps aside after negotiating a severance package and campaigns hard for Obama to build good will w/i the party, knowing he can’t win. Then like a ghoul from a horror flick returns from the un-dead in 4 years.

If you were Barry O, would you want Bill Clinton hanging around the white house for four years?

Obama may be callow and feckless but I think the one thing in his life that he really believes in is…that he hates Hillary. With a passion.

She will not be on his ticket unless Michelle cuts off his remaining testicle.

Don’t underestimate the stupidity of gore-kerry voters, Ed.

That aint no $hit. Just think about how stupid you would have to be to want Obama as POTUS. The guy aint qualified to run a McDonalds much less the US.

The country is spiraling downhill at breakneck speed. The “useless and worthless” segment of our population is growing in leaps and bounds, and Obama wants to subsidise it more, and tax producers to the hilt.

In a backdrop of rampent illegal immigration, the future looks bleak.

If she plays her cards right, she could get a couple Pocket Fisherman thrown in, too.

Nope. She wants the Ginsu knives. They’ll look great in Obama’s back.

If by “besmirch” you mean have the balls to imply most black democrats are racist to the core, sure.

What is wierd is that if Cankles gets the nod I will have a tough time deciding between her and McShamnesty.

And, I utterly loathe her.

If I were BHO, I’d be very worried about why Hillary is hanging in there. I don’t think she’s played her trump yet, and it’s gonna be a doozy. She’s hanging there to pick up the pieces after she deploys her nuclear option.

She’s hanging in there because she knows what the other dem leaders know. Hussein is unelectable, because he is deeply racist, a friend to terrorists and an effete, elitist snot.

Oh and he’s an airhead to boot. I’m surprised the fangs haven’t come out yet though and that she’s holding back. I expected her to be shouting that hussein is a racist from the rooftops, but she didn’t.

Why would she want to latch onto this loser?

Obama will implode before November.

She wants to be there, in the backround, clean from his increasing scandals, ready to pick up the party’s pieces and save the day.

Barry’s a wobbling mess, waiting to turn into a total gutter ball.

Let him drag the Dems into the ditch and then Tow Truck Hillary can ride to the rescue.

Barry and Michelle will be standing in the dust as the party drives away from their follies.

Hillary raises the D mantle and takes the party to a respectable loss in November, at least.

Looking toward 2012.

What about a McCain/Clinton ticket?

This would not be a “dream” ticket it would be a “nightmare” ticket. It is hard to conceive of these two losers teamed.

With a super majority in the Senate (probably) then Hillary would be a force, instead of the farce Reid is now.

By: funky chicken

funky chicken — Thu, 08 May 2008 13:36:37 +0000

The only reason I could see Hillary taking the VP spot would be if she thinks it would win the WH for the dems. If it’s me, I stay in the Senate and push for a plum job, like majority leader….I don’t think anybody could credibly argue that Reid is anything but a worthless putz.

If Obama thinks he could control both a vice-president Hillary and the Second Man from going off-message and/or spinning stories behind-the-scenes during bad times to benefit themselves, as opposed to benefiting the Obama Administration, he really does believe in the audacity of hope (or he deserves to be immediately drug-tested for hallucinogens).

Ref Chelsea….yup. My guess is California. Feinstein and Boxer are getting a bit long in the tooth, and those 55 electoral college votes have to be secured for her future.

One of my close neighbors is a Texas Dem guru/Obamanut. She gives a joint ticket a zero chance. I dunno. Her life boat is the senate if they lose to McCain anyway. There is no reason to deal for something you already have. The debt issue does make a lot of sense.

Comrade H.R. Clinton is ever campaigning, it is something taught by her mentor, Comrade Commissar S. Alinsky (although he called it something slightly different). Let her go out on a win with Robert Byrd Land so she can start her campaign for Governor of New York. Then with a little ‘Executive’ experience, she can make a good run for the Brass Ring in 2012 (cosmetic surgery isn’t just for Clinton daughters).

Would McCain pick Comrade Clinton for the V.P. slot? Not if he wants to campaign as a Republican. Should he do that, Bob Barr’s Libertarian run may win, especially since the RNC wouldn’t give a plug nickel to McCain.

Oh, there WILL be a Clinton campaigning in 2012. Why do you think Chelsea is carrying so much water for her mother?

If she leaves now, Obama would repay the $11.4 million in personal loans she herself made to the campaign.

Is that legal?

James on May 8, 2008 at 8:11 AM

What does legal have to do with anything around the Clintons?

If Obama is stupid enough to pick Hillary as VP hopefully he would be smart enough to increase his life insurance.

He can just tell the “pac” money to go to Hillary, while she is still in the race. There are probably a dozen other ways to “legally” get her the money. If she starts campaigning for him, he can pay her for that…
