When’s the last time Hillary Clinton worried about what the DNC thought of her?

It’s not that she cares what they think of her, it’s what they would owe her in the process of her helping them dig themselves out of this hole. She cares about being the most powerful politician in the DNC. They would make her just that for her help.

if she helped Obama win, would he step down in 2012? What would be the benefit of that to him?

I don’t think he would have much of a choice. She would make him bow out like he made her. She would be the only person running on that side. Unopposed like I said.

I’m not sure any of this would happen. Just a thought.

Barack Obama’s judgment was that Joe Biden was the best possible vice presidential candidate.
Joe Biden says he’s wrong.
This was Obama’s first major decision as a would-be president.
He got it wrong.

Sounds like a great campaign ad to me. Just add this clip and let ‘er rip.

Hmmm. Getting crowded under the B Hussein Greyhound. We have about 10 times as many clips of HRC taking BHO to the woodshed than we have from Plugs Biden’s lips. Better start getting them ready. McCain should start running them like there’s no tomorrow.

Prying JB off the ticket will be as entertaining as watching him unstick the hairplugs from his scalp: unpleasant but potentially fascinating.

I may not have a lot of respect for Obama’s “intelligence”, but I don’t think even he is dumb enough to kick Biden out until after he has a firm commitment from somebody to replace him.

Even he’s got to realize that having the public watch for a few days or a week, while he decides on who is next VP will be, would drop his Nov. vote totals down to single digits.

If Hillary joins the ticket late, and they start to make up ground on McCain, then I don’t see many people blaming her if Obama still looses.

For what it’s worth, I think if Biden does drop out, Obama will ask Hillary and she will say yes. Can you imagine what the DNC would owe her for trying to save the rest of this campaign? She would run unopposed within her party.

When’s the last time Hillary Clinton worried about what the DNC thought of her? And I don’t know what you mean by running unopposed by the Democrats; if she helped Obama win, would he step down in 2012? What would be the benefit of that to him?

No, if Obama loses, THEN Hillary will be, for all practical purposes, unopposed in the 2012 primaries.

More Dems have been telling me that McCain is going to win. Democrats. Giving up, resigned to having McCain in the White House.
I’ll be celebrating only when McCain/Palin win. Politics can turn on a dime, and the Obama faithful may work harder and longer, the more desperate the outcome seems for their pick.
Don’t ever take this election for granted-nothing is won or done before Nov 4th.
