Is Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., staying in the race to get the vice presidential slot?
George thinks so.
Clinton vowed to fight on today, despite a growing chorus that says Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has just about wrapped up the Democratic presidential nominaton.
ABC's chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos told Charles Gibson on "World News" that Clinton is staying in the race to negotiate a spot on the Democratic ticket in November.
CHARLES GIBSON: George, she puts on a brave face in public. What's going on behind the scenes?
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, I think it's fair to say ... that everyone's waiting for a signal from her on how to go forward. Today, the signal was very clear — we're staying in — [according to] the Clinton campaign. And it's based on the hope that anything can happen. And that every Democrat deserves a vote. That's the principal they're running on right now. The arguments against, inside right now, are you may be spending a lot more money in [a] futile effort. You may also be dividing the party the longer you go on. You heard (California Sen.) Dianne Feinstein say that as well, but the math just doesn't work.
Four. WJC would be living in the White House. No Way would the Obamanations allow that.
Let’s not forget Quayle....
He lost the presidency. Spent the next 4 years writing memoirs and campaigning for other repubs. Became a team player and came back to run in 68. Hillary should do the same thing. I think she can make more of a statement as Senator or Gov than VP.
Obamalamadingdong might be a Marxist tool but I just can’t believe that he’s a big enough idiot to put She Who Must Not Be Named on the ticket.
If Hillary ever wants to become Senate Majority Leader, she is going to have to drop out, or else the Rat Senators will make it clear to her that if she ever wanted the job, they will never vote for her.
I don’t think it’ll happen, though, due to Hill and Bill’s massive egos. Plus....no less a flaming liberal than Bill Maher agrees with me. Bill O’ Reilly suggested Clinton and Obama join forces on the same ticket-Maher laughed out loud and said: “Are you NUTS? A woman AND a black on the SAME ticket? In 2008? Talk about too much, too soon. AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN.”
I doubt Hillary’s ego would settle for the number 2 spot on the ticket nor would I see Obama being very willing to embrace her after the bitterness of the campaign.
Obama already has to listen to that dim witted wife of his. Does anyone think his vision of being in the White House has him listening to the wife upstairs and then going down to the main floor and having to listen to Hillary in various meetings.
The screech, shreek and cackle from the self-appointed annointed one would be the migraine maker for everyday of his envisioned future.
She won’t settle for veep. Bet on it. Her massive butt would never allow that kind of downsizing. There it's fixed.
