Hillary for Vice President?

Wall Street Journal ^ | 8/10/10 | JOHN FUND

[CharlieOK1]

As President Obama sinks in the polls, Democrats and liberal pundits inevitably are searching for a scapegoat. The most likely victim appears to be gaffe-prone Vice President Joe Biden, who has become the focus of speculation that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just might replace him on the 2012 Democratic ticket.

Former Virginia Gov. Doug Wilder, his state's first African-American governor, touched off the controversy. Writing at Politico.com last week, Mr. Wilder argued that Mr. Biden's tenure has been undistinguished and chock full of "too many YouTube moments." He charged that Mr. Biden "has continued to undermine what little confidence the public may have had in him."....

There’s only one position Hillary would take. His. And it just may happen. Revenge of the PUMAs.

Michelle is not going to allow Hillary to be VP. If you were Obama, would you want Hillary as VP? There is a very good chance that Obama’s body would show up in the park.

[CJ Wolf]

oooo I'll be able to resuse my hillhead!

[ErnBatavia]

You’re right....and my opinion that Zero will be satisfied to be a one-termer, and not run again, get stronger every day. He’s balls-out with his agenda for this one term.

[FrankR]

As much as Hillary wants to be the "first woman president", and remembering Ft. Marcy Park, I would not let her within 10 miles of the VP slot.

The woman is ruthless and power hungry; she will do whatever she has to do to gain the top spot. This Secretary of State thing was just for "resume' enhancement" for the future.

And, she has high negatives and I think she would be a detriment to obama's ticket anyway.

Joe Biden is the best life insurance obama could have ever picked.

As in 2008 when Palin could not save McCain , Hillary can't save Obama. The Vice President has never gotten a President elected. Obama could bring JFK back from the dead and put him on the ticket. The Obama/Kennedy ticket would fail too.

No way.....she would become a Birther as soon as she was sworn in, IF the Messiah survived through an Arkancide.....

There’s only one position Hillary would take. His. And it just may happen. Revenge of the PUMAs.

Problem is, her outlook on life is the same as his...

"We're going to take things from you on behalf of the common good.," sayeth Hitlery Clinton.

"Another marxist liberal like the rest.," sayeth Meyer.

Hillary will NOT:

1. Let the Republicans be the only party with a female candidate for President in 2012, if thay comes to pass.

2. Stand idly by and watch Obama wreck the Democrat party that she and Bill used to “own”.

The only resolution of these two issues is for her to run for President, not make some goofy lateral move into VP slot. And I look for her to do it. The trigger event will be the Nov. mid-terms, if the Dems clock gets cleaned like the hope and pray it will, that’ll be her cue to rise up and say “I can’t be a part of this any longer!”.

[McGruff]

Never thought I’d say this but I wish it was Hitlery in that office instead of Osama. At least Bill C. was rational unlike this frickin socialist who’s driving this country off a cliff.

[Walkingfeather]

Yeah so would you have Hilary as your VP waiting to step in at any moment you have an accident?

[bigbob]

So I guess we ought to really hope this VP idea catches on, because it might be more appealing to the Dems than for her to rise up and challenge BHO in 2012. But she really holds most of the cards, her approval ratings are FAR higher than his, with her in a strong VP role she could “save” Obama for a 2nd term and be his logical successor, and would bring the support of the PUMAs, independents who went over to Obama in 2008, and the big block of traditional Dems who still worship Slick and the Clinton wing of the party.

I think it would still be hard for her to pull enough Indies over to get a majority, but that depends on who’s running on the Republican ticket in 2012. Anyone who doesn’t think a Palin vs. Hillary debate would be a record-breaker should sell your popcorn futures now!

[Vendome]

Barry isn’t going to run. He is going to be hounded for his records.

[AGreatPer]

I doubt Obama will run for a second term. There will be too much pressure to prove he is a US citizen.
He has actually said something to the effect that he doesn't mind being a one term president.
I look to a bomb shell announcement from him as 2012 gets near and this will open the door for Hillary.

[Sarajevo]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the party decided to run Hillary.

She had better start ducking. That video of her claiming to dodge sniper rounds in Bosnia will come out to bite her again.

[pallis]

For certain Obamao has to know he took on an idiot when he picked Biden. What will he be taking on if he picks Hillary?

[clee1]

Noe even Zero is that stupid. Arkancide is a distinct possibility....

[Vermont Lt]

No more Clintons.
No more Bushes.

Just keep repeating it until it sinks in.

[McGruff]

The writing is on the wall.

Jimma Carta must be smilin.
