Don't know whether to laugh or cry, we hate you Hillary, but we need you -- welll.. not you, but your voters.

Enough of this condescending cr*p! Enough of the diminishing her by turning her into a piece of "the Clintons"

If she's vp on his ticket and they lose, it's the Clintons' fault.  If she says no thanks and it's Obama/somebody else and they lose, it will be the Clintons' fault...somehow, some way.

Really, though...how in Gawd's name do you see anybody in the Obama camp allowing a Clinton on their ticket when the whole point of the campaign was to get RID of the Clintons?

watched the Clinton campaign savage their champion for many months

"WE DON'T WANT THAT WOMAN--OR HER SUPPORTERS."

IMO, a unity ticket is a pipedream of Obama supporters who see it as an easy fix for the disharmony in the party and Obama's little "problem" connecting with white working class voters and ethnic non-AA voters.  It's not gonna work because (a) Obama is too arrogant to ask her, (b) her skills and experience are better put to use in the Senate, (c) it's an insulting proposition to many Hillary supporters, and (d) he'd be better off with a white male running mate with military cred.  Even so, with his baggage, I see him losing to McCain in November.

Jeez, especially since we know how Obama supporters like Kilgore really feel.

I know this is a deeply unpopular, even infuriating, suggestion to many Obama supporters who've watched the Clinton campaign savage their champion for many months. Indeed, some of them think the vanquishing of the Clintons from power in the Democratic Party is the whole point of the Obama "movement."

Did you know that "Exit polls taken in 30 contests so far showed Obama carrying the white vote in only seven, including his home state of Illinois."  ????

More in my blog post...

Unfortunately, he is more interested in his own position as Democratic Party King than as the unifier of the Democratic party = making inroads with Clinton's coalition.

Senator Clinton would be better off letting him lose in the general election while she paves a great career in the Senate.  I would rather have her become a great senate leader than Obama's VP.

Regardless of my current support for HRC, I'd have supported one, the other or both. He lost it before she earned it and when someone has my well considered and hard earned support, I'm there for the long haul.

Obama hasn't earned this nomination, proven he's fit for office, won voters he dismissed as unimportant or made his case to the majority of voters he's baldly insulted.

I used to think he was just green but now I believe he's unfit to serve. He'll be a disaster that not even teh awesome combination of Kos and Donna Brazile can save.

And I'm sorry, after months of being demeaned by the Dems and Obama and typified as a racist and worse -- as thanks for all I've contributed -- it'll take more than an FREAKING Ed Kilgore PR appearance to repair things.

Hearing the punditocracy and other patronizing party jackwads typify this as bruised feelings or other trivial bits of psycho-caca only underscores my belief that this changes nothing in the present or future.

I know this is a deeply unpopular, even infuriating, suggestion to many Obama supporters who've watched the Clinton campaign savage their champion for many months. Indeed, some of them think the vanquishing of the Clintons from power in the Democratic Party is the whole point of the Obama "movement." Why, many ask, should Obama take on Hillary's "baggage" after finally defeating her at the cost of so much blood, sweat, tears, money, and approval-ratings points?

I cannot take the rest of it seriously.

If we want or need a unity ticket, the Obama campaign better start making up for what they did to the Clintons during this primary or else they will not get a significant portion of Hillary's voters.  If we 'menopausals' (was that Wolcott's term?) don't feel she's getting proper respect, we're not going to be able to stomach watching her campaign for him.  She's a powerful Senator; why should she take the VP slot?

And that 'rehabilitation' meme that is starting to work its way through the MSM needs to be shut down right now by the Obama campaign.

McCain-Obama 46 to 43.
McCain-Obama 46 to 43.
McCain-Obama 46 to 43.
McCain-Obama 46 to 43.

That's TERRIBLE.  We should not be seeing these kinds of polls.  I don't care that it is early in the year.  Soon it's going to be pandering season and people will see what they want to see as both candidates jump from left to right to center.  If these numbers persist and the media reports them, the GE narrative for Obama will not be off to a good start, for sure.

In 8 years Hillary Clinton will be 68 years old. She is not going to run in 2016.

The whol;e thing makes no sense other than to get Obama elected. Can she help him do that as the VP candidate and then immediately resign?

I certainly wouldn't ask him myself BUT

if Hillary as Prez can live with it and thinks it's the best solution (and can find something for him to do ;-) so can I.
