Hillary for Vice President
Sign the Petition on the Forum****************************************

Hillary fans are urging the John Kerry campaign, his supporters and concerned American voters to choose Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as his Vice President. 

Hillary is the ideal Vice President for Sen. Kerry.   Her clear vision, established alliances and fierce commitment to staying the course in Iraq makes her the best possible person in this country, and possibly even the world, to restore America’s credibility and build a broader international coalition for a successful peace strategy in Iraq.   Hillary will not retreat. Americans can depend on her to strongly oppose any cut-and-run strategy. 

In Hillary’s own words: "Now that we're there, we have no choice, we own this issue."  Hillary, who visited Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Pakistan over Thanksgiving, understands that fulfilling America's promise in Iraq will be with us for years to come. 

Hillary has the proven diplomatic skills to prod the United Nations into playing a larger role and re-engage as they have offered to do.  At the United Nations where she receives standing ovations Hillary is well respected, popular, and able to restore the credibility we have lost.  This means she could work with the U.N. and NATO to gain their cooperation in bringing international peacekeeping forces and increased reconstruction aid to Iraq.

In a report, February 25, 2004, MSNBC, by Tom Curry, National affairs writer, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a member of the Senate Armed Service Committee, called for a vigorous election-year debate about the future size and composition of the U.S. armed forces.

Clinton urged an increase in the size of the Army, supporting a proposal by Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) to expand the Army by 10,000 soldiers. 
 

Noting that she had conducted a tour of U.S. deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq last November, she said there are not enough American troops in either country. Clinton said U.S. officers in Iraq had specifically told her that they did not have enough troops to accomplish their mission. 
 

“Off the record, they’ll tell you they don’t have enough and have never had enough,” she said. 
 

She also said that “we have fewer troops in Afghanistan than we had law enforcement (officers) at the Olympics in Salt Lake City.”

Because Hillary is so highly regarded and well connected to international institutions, she can rebuild alliances with many of the parties in Europe and the Arab world (many of whom she has personally met) that have an interest in Iraq’s success. Hillary understands that no nation, not even one as powerful as the U.S., can protect its interests without help.

If she gets the nod the Republican base is in Bush's pocket and Reagan Democrats will flee to Bush.

Dumbest move Kerry could make.

If Kerry is stupid enough to put the hildabeast on his ticket, he'd better be VERY, VERY careful lest he end up in some DC park with a gunshot wound to his temple; self-inflicted, of course.

Actually, my prediction is that Billyboy will be the VP choice and then, shortly before the Demo's convention, something will make Kerry "unelectable", the Demos will draft Hillary and we will have a Clinton/Clinton ticket.

"Hillary will not retreat."

I like this part the most, it implies that Kerry cannot be relied upon.

Maybe she should tell us why that is.

Alamo-girl pretty much documents it here:

DOWNSIDE LEGACY AT TWO DEGREES OF PRESIDENT CLINTON
SECTION: STATUS OF US MILITARY
SUBSECTION: UNDERMANNED, POORLY EQUIPPED, SPREAD TOO THIN

Read that and get back to us, Hillary.

I think we already had one... Al Gore was just a prop. I think we all know the real VP was Hillary!

This could be the shot in the arm the Bush campaign needs. Nothing like the Clintons to get the conservatives fired up.

So what is there about Hillary that makes her "the ideal VP for Kerry"? The rest of the paragraph talks about qualities that she (supposedly) has -- is the author saying that Kerry NEEDS a candidate with these characteristics?

I am just amazed that the Dem bandwagon is carrying a fellow who is just a vacuum. No issues, no personality, no anything. He's just the non-Bush, just the vehicle for Hillary.

Kerry's wife wouldn't stand for sharing the spotlight with HIllary, I'll put money on that! But if Hillary did get the nod, it would only help draw out the REPUBLICAN votes...I say "Bring her on"

I don't think Kerry is that stupid, but if he did and they won, one concession to us (the good guys) would be that think of all the laughs we'd get from Kerry dodging and ducking by Kerry as the Hildabeast tried to rule as number one...

And my first thought when I saw your thread; how appropriate was your screen name, haha.
