My dream scenario for all this is, Hillary’s pride and sore loserman mentality prompt her to say screw you to the dems that she feels betrayed her and run as an independent. The House of Liberals is divided and they both go down. I can’t for the life of me fathom why she is going deep into debt to fight an almost certain losing battle. I really don’t think she would play second fiddle to the empty suit as VP. But then maybe she would drop her pride to get back into the WH, afterall she has to complete her silver and china sets.
This gets the “Yeah, Right, In Your Dreams, Toots” award. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

.. well, you know what she has I doubt if she would have her desk anywhere but right next to his in the oval office.
That was very well said!
> Senator Dianne Feinstein says that if Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, he should select Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate.
That would be exactly like a turkey voting for an early Christmas.
Yes, put Obama’s name right after Buddy the Labrador retriever, who got run over less than a year after the Clintons left the White House.
“Yes, but in case you missed the memo, obama isn’t taking the bait.”
I’ve seen his responses which are probably the best he can do. But, not responding is just a variant of ‘No’ meaning that the feminists can claim that he’s not respecting Hillary. It might be interesting to see Hillary’s response if he called her bluff, ‘She’s on the very short list.’ I simply don’t think Hillary is interested in VP.
I don’t think Obama realizes who he is up against!! If Hill was his VP he would have to be watching his back for 4 years or more. You know how those unfortunate assassinations, plane crashes and suicides can happen when folks get in the Clintons’ way?!!!!
I would get double security until after the Dem convention as well! (Am I being too suspicious of those well-intentioned folks??)
I think she made those comments to insure that she won’t be on the ticket. She needs obama to lose if she’s going to have a chance at being president.
Obama/Clinton/Clinton’08 ???
I don’t see how a person with a greater than 50% unfavorable rating (Rasmussen) helps a ticket.
Not after the assassination gaffe.......
Good Job, Nancy the clueless.
“I think they should flip a coin then take it to the Supreme Court.”
Not until she cherry-picks the votes that will benefit her. It’s sort of a tradition.
Hey DiFi — this is a great idea. Put her right by his side, under his missing rib. The way it should be.
“Youre assuming thats all the dirt they have on Obama. Well hear much, much more about this POS before November.”
The dirt is there. Cousin Odinga, Kenya, etc. — it’s all there but will only elevate the moral superiority of his voters.
Sigh.
Get a load of this!
Media ignores Obama concert negatives
Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 5/22/2008 12:00:00 PM
At least some members of the much-touted crowd of 75,000 people at a May 18 rally in Portland for Barack Obama may have been there, in part, to see a popular local band that normally opens its concerts with the national anthem — of the former Soviet Union.
National media outlets have widely reported estimates of between 72,000 and 75,000 people in attendance at Obama’s rally. What they have largely failed to report, however, is that many in the crowd may have attended as much for a free concert as to express their support for the Democratic frontrunner.
“The rally drew 75,000 people, but the media did not give any credit to the opening act, The Decemberists, who are wildly popular in Portland,” says Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Media Institute of the Media Research Center. “I’m not saying that Obama wouldn’t have drawn a big crowd, but certainly when you have a band that popular opening for him on a beautiful day, that probably should have been mentioned [by the media].”
By not mentioning the band, Knight says, the media has been able to avoid a well-known fact about The Decemberists. “You’d think the media would find it interesting that a presidential candidate had a band open for him that typically plays the Soviet national anthem, the song that celebrates communism in Russia,” Knight says. “But the media has taken no interest in it.”

Results from our related poll question
Knight says the Obama campaign could have easily learned that their opening act routinely starts its shows with the Soviet anthem by checking either Google or Wikipedia.
“The Obama campaign is secure in the knowledge that the mainstream media will not report any of this. Certainly they haven’t so far,” he complained. “They know that the media will not do anything to embarrass liberal candidates. They cover for them all the time. So, that might make them a little complacent about checking out people that they are associated with.”
According to the Wikipedia entry about The Decemberists, “The band is named in reference to an 1825 revolt over the Imperial Russian succession (Decemberist Revolt). It is not related to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, although Meloy has referred to the historical Decembrists as a communist revolutionary group.”
Correction: The original version of this report included a link to a video reportedly created by Colin Meloy, lead vocalist of The Decemberists, endorsing Barack Obama for president. The video has since been disputed as a hoax.
Feinstein said this before the RFK self-destruct. No chance for Hillary to get the VP spot now.
(Barack would have been absolutely nuts to even consider it before that. But, yes.)
Perhaps you should.
Although Mr. Obama might want to consider selecting her as his vice Presidential candidate. It may extend his life expectancy from June until after he is elected.
True dat - Hillary doesn’t care if she takes down the Dems in Nov - she’d come back as the saviour in ‘12.
I really don’t think Obama is stupid enough to contemplate this.
Such a move will also make Nancy Pelosi angry at Diane Feinstein. Nancy doesn’t want such a Presidential ticket to overshadow Nancy.
