Asked on CBS's "The Early Show" whether she and Obama should be on the same ticket, Clinton said:
"That may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."

What I don't understand is after all the Shiat you guys have talked about Bush and the war in Iraq, you go ahead and try to nominate someone who VOTED for the war in Iraq?????????????
WTF???
Hillary and Bill talked about WMD's in Iraq years b4 Bush was president so don't give me this "she was lied to" B.S..
Bush must feel cheated right now. He is supposed to be the devil Hitler Nazi Torturer for starting this war and now you are voting for someone who helped him do it?
Goes to show that you guys have no idea what you doing. All you want is power and that's pretty scary.

I wonder if she will cry again once Obama start hitting back?
She would only make this concession because she knows that she cant beat him. That said, it might be a good idea, only one thing would she be willing to let him grow if it means at times overshadowing her.The important thing here is to make sure the GOPers are out.

Hillary seems very desperate to get in the White House by hook or by crook.
She reminds me of that proverbial camel who is trying to get off that last straw from his back, just to stay alive!
I have never heard of her getting up at 3 in the morning to answer a phone call to take care of an impending disaster somewhere! It was probably Bill, but she makes believe that it was her!
She still thinks that it was a co-presidency!
Oh! How one's mind wanders when you remove all the ballasts of reality!

The way Obama was raised I don't think he is a back of the bus type of guy, You don't become the editor of the Harvard law review by letting others pick your place for you. You don't attend 2 Ivy- league schools by being told where your place is. She is in for a fight and she aint see nothing yet. I do think however he must be careful in his attacks before it start to seem like the big bad black man picking on the sweet little white woman...that possibility exist, I think that is why he has tried his best to keep this race clean and attack free. I also think Hill is aware of this and is using it to her benefit.

Why listen to Ohio they gave bush the last election, that should speak volumes to their credibility. If you ask me they should have their voting rights evoked until the country is fixed, they have displayed an inability to think properly.
If you voted for bush i think you should be the last to be critical of anyone. Yoour judgment is off by a million miles or more.

I don't think it was the Ohio voters who put Dumbya in the White House for the second time; it probably was Diebold's Chairman who gave $250,000 to Bush/Cheney 2004 and promised Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell that the election "will be taken care of". Well, he did!
Diebold was the company that developed the electronic voting machines suspected of having hacked code that could manipulate the vote counts!

So how's this supposed to work? Isn't the main criterion in choosing a VP candidate that the individual be prepared, if necessary, to immediately step in for the president? After months of lying about Obama being completely unqualified to serve on "Day One" he now suddenly is ready?
The RNC has been working since the race began to ensure that Hillary is the nominee because they know that with her negatives she won't get the independents and registered Republicans to vote for her. So far in the primary, that has proved true. She's winning in heavily Democratic states only by attracting the lion's share of older registered Democrats.
Problem is the electorate is split about equaly into 3 blocks. Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Neither side can win by only attracting its own base. Obama can win because he gets votes from Independents and Republicans. Hillary can't win.

Yea, we want Hillary. You're kidding right? The Clinton machine isn't what anyone wants back. Not that Obama is that great, he's a communist. But Hillary. Can you imagine listening to that shrill air-raid siren voice for 4 years?
As to Obama, he's being asked questions that he simply can't answer. I really don't think he's ready for this job. I've really tried finding out about him and there isn't much. He's incredibly liberal and votes party line only. Any time there might be controversy or he would actually have to explain his actions he's voted present. As much as I don't like John McCain, I think he's the most qualified.

If Obama would take the VP spot on a Clinton ticket he'd understand what John Nance Garner meant:
A former Speaker of the House Garner once stated taking the vice presidency was "the worst damn fool mistake I ever made"
Garner is most noted for saying the vice presidency wasn't worth "a warm bucket of spit," although reporters allegedly changed the spelling of the last word for print

Sharing the ticket might be a good idea, with whoever in the leading position. I think, not to make use of the different gifts of both democratic candidates would be a waste of resources!

You guys have watched the West Wing a few too many times. Obama has a lead across the board. Why would he ever consider letting Clinton in. At that she wants to be the President. Lets see. He's leading in polls and delegates so he's going to agree to be the VP. Yea right and Bill doesn't like coeds anymore. I think the DNC has finally gotten tired of the Clinton machine. Between scandals, hearings and impeachments, what did they really accomplish? Not much. Obama would do well not to pay any attention to this offer of "peace" from Hillary. Remember, the bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.

I think it is more than history, although that may be the rouge or subterfuge.
I have a gut feeling that she has some old scores to settle, and she needs Presidential power to do that!
Her history is full of such vendetta! When things don't go her way and people start asking questions, it is suddenly "right wing conspiracy"!

Here is where Bush's blessings will dump McCain. Bush Qutoes:
. McCain will stay the course in Iraq. (Disaster #1).
. McCain will take on the enemy at any time, any place (Bush meant Al Qaeda in Iraq. Unfortunately, we did not go to Iraq to fight Al Qaeda - Disaster #2)
. He will follow my strong economic policies. (Disaster #3. Recession, gas prices, impending bank failures, mortgage crisis, record home foreclosures in 50 years, $trillion in national debts).
. The Bush embrace (Disaster #4. It means McCain will carry the torch).
What a bunch of crooks who want to hold on to power and complete the destruction of USA and the Middle East.

The latest polls show the surge has worked and the American people are supporting it again. As to gas prices, you do know much of this was caused by the DNC with their environmental policies, right? You've stopped or prevented drilling in Alaska and off the coasts. You've stopped refineries to be built. You're forcing us to build ethanol plants in the fantasy that this will replace gasoline. The only problems there is it takes 5 gallons of gas to make 1 gallon of ethanol and it's not a clean burning fuel and leads to high carbon emissions. Also, by using corn for fuel you're driving up food costs. Stop this and things will return to proper levels.
Economics and the like, a good president cannot be all things. You have a cabinet with trusted advisers.
As to your last moronic comments, giving freedom to the Iraqi people and stabilizing that region isn't a bad or destructive act. Freedom is always a good think. Unless your last name is Castro or Chavez.

"giving freedom to the Iraqi people and stabilizing that region isn't a bad or destructive act"
So presumably you'll support whoever comes to offer the USA the same benefits of freedom and stabilisation?
You guys could definitely use the help!
The current regime has caused the greatest damage to the world-wide standing of the US and its true interests and the most damage to world-wide democracy since the end of the 2nd WW and the Communist take-over of Central and Eastern Europe.

First of all Hillary is now leading Nationally. We got a good look at Obama walking out on his Press conference after 8 questions. He is not ready for prime time. Plus he obviously has a quick temper. The more people get a look at him with his friends, Farrahkan, Rezko, Ayers, the bomber that decleared war on the U S in the 70s, and the murky Frank who is like a father to him, and who is a radical Communist, the more Americans are saying, let's look at this man. Let's see if Wyoming gives him a win on Saturday, and there are 13 other primaries, including Pennsylvania.

Clinton took the lead nationally for the 1st time since January. Yesterday it was 48% Clinton 44% Obama. Today 48 to 43. Clinton will smash Obama in Pennsylvania and the super delegates will flock to her! By the end of the primary season she will have over 500,000 vote lead in the popular vote and they be about even in the delegate count. He might win a few of the caucus states where the moveon.org crowd can infiltrate & maybe Mississippi where registered democrats are prodominantly Afro-Americans but thats it.
Sane people are just beginning to realize Obama is just one of those fads that come along every so often. Pet rocks, cabbage patch dolls etc.
No this, most all the states he's won are states the Republicans will win in the general election. does anybody think he'll win Utah or Wyoming or Mississippi in the general. He will be an electoral disaster in the general election.

This must be some new type of math!
By all counts, even if Hillary gets 65% of all votes in the remaining primaries, she CAN NOT catch up with Obama in delegate count!
Unless something sinister happens with Super Delegates and the Clintons beg/buy/steal them!
Can we put it past them?
No Way! Sleaze is in vogue on that planet!

How about Hillary saying she won't "accept" a revote. Someone should knock that Bwitch around a bit. She acts like she's running the DNC.

I see some complaints about where Hillary is compared to Obama in this race and how its arrogant of her to be discussing Obama as VP. Lets be fair though. Mathematically its almost impossible for either of them to come out with a win and it will be so close the DNC might do something dumb and give the nomination to Clinton. Of course that will just disenfranchise the youth vote. Kids have no problem just not voting. You'll also be giving McCain the Independents. In the end, unless Michigan and Florida are redone and it gives Clinton a lead, it will probably go to Obama. But its not entirely arrogant to discuss VP choice. She's very close to Obama's numbers.

I think you will find the youth vote isn't as viable as some want to believe. They're not reliable. If it's cold or raining out, they simply won't show up to vote. They're good for rallies and noise but not as your base.
The other issue I see is race. Lately much of the rhetoric we're seeing is race based. People of color voting for Obama because he's black. If they make this the only "real" topic, he's going to get buried in the election. Then again, from his latest speeches, he thinks bigger government and higher taxes will some how help business and grow jobs. It's never happened in 232 years but he feels he can make it work.

The youth vote was just the first one to come to mind and the first one I stated. There is also a possible disenfranchising of the "black" vote... but that is far from the only "real" topic. It will also kick out the Independents and those who wish to vote against the establishment candidate. McCain is perceived as not being establishment GOP and will attract more of the Independent vote then Clinton would, IMO. Of course I think in many ways the Dems have painted themselves into a corner this election. I think Florida may go GOP this time around again... and I don't know what Michigan will do. Clinton can win, certainly, but not as easily as I think Obama will manage to.

I think Mdiar talks with a great deal more authority about the youth vote than you do.
As for this: "I think you will find the youth vote isn't as viable as some want to believe. They're not reliable. If it's cold or raining out, they simply won't show up to vote"
Are you speaking about your own youthful behaviour? If not I suggest a rush visit to your quack to get a check on whatever orifice this emerged from!

Mdiar,
She is "very close", short by about 120 delegates.
Unless some corruption happens at the Super Delegate level, she has absolutely no chance of winning this contest!
Saying "Very close" in this situation is like saying partially pregnant - there is no such thing!

After all the hype about stopping Obama it turns out that Clinton gained only 12 delegates on Tuesday. In addition she lost 4 potential states, two of them large, where she might gain delegates. At twelve delegates per 4 states she needs 24 more states to fall into the same pattern just to catch up but unfortunately there are only 10 more left and the next two next week are expected to be big wins for Obama.
She gains some in Ohio but when you figure the caucus assigned delegates in Texas she may have won the popular vote at the ballot box but lost the caucuses where only Democrats could vote unlike the ballot box where even republicans could vote, which they do for Clinton whenever possible as she is their best chance to win.
Right now Obama is in the lead and it looks like Michigan and Florida are ready to admit their violation of rules and redo their votes with ALL candidates on the ballot not just Hillary as happened in Michigan.

And why pray tell would the leader in committed delegates at this point sign on as second fiddle to the person behind in delegates.
You are Hillary are living in a dream world. If one needs to commit to be VP to the other it is Hillary who is behind and probably can never make up the different, in delegates that should accept second fiddle.
