(7/11) Hillary Still Running for VP Spot? Hannity and Colmes

[Amy Dugan]

Wolfsen was their guest. please read transcript and comment. I think VP is where this is going. a hillraiser contacted me and said same thing as a delegate here in OH, let us get it to look like Obama can't win without her as VP. considering McCain's campaign looks like Dole's (will lose), Hillary's best chance for president some day is as Obama VP. Just think if Obama won and Bayh was her VP. Bayh is great so that would be 8 years of Obama 8 of Bayh never Hillary. This way she could run in 8 years. Also, once President Obama is impeached his first term and convicted of fraud, his VP (Clinton is the president).

I saw the show. They did try to spin it as Hillary looking for VP spot or should BHO select her for VP. BHO supporters, to me, are getting worried that he can't win w/o her. I believe there is more to this whole thing besides than BHO's VP slot.
Also, I doubt BHO IF elected would be impeached. I mean, GWB2 was not impeached, not that others haven't tried.

For me the current situation can be summed up as:

1) HRC doesn't need VP. She is better of as Senator.
2) BO can't win without her.
3) BO can't have her as VP without upsetting his minions.
4) PUMA wants Hillary now. If not in 4 years. They don't want to wait 8 years. So they will vote McCain.
5) If HRC takes VP and BO/VP ticket lost, she risks damaging her image in the future run.

So BO is stuck. DNC is stuck. There is no good solution for them. They don't have any good carrot to lure Hillary to take the VP spot.

PUMA will only come back in full force if HRC is the top ticket.

From a Los Angeles Times article date today.

Barack Obama told a potential donor to his campaign that Hillary Rodham Clinton is on his list of possible vice presidential running mates, but that her husband's status as a former president makes matters "complicated."

Iscol turned their phone conversation Thursday to the vice presidency -- something the Obama campaign has refused to discuss publicly. She said she told him that Clinton would be his best running mate.

Obama replied that she is on his list, Iscol recounted, and that it would be a mistake not to have her on such a list. But he also explained that he was thinking through a potential "complication" -- Bill Clinton.

"He said once you're a president, even if you're a former president, you're always a president," Iscol said.

That suggests Obama might be worried the White House could get crowded with Bill Clinton back on the scene.

Still, Iscol hung up believing Hillary Clinton had a shot. Obama didn't say that Bill Clinton would be a disqualifying factor, but he conveyed that he needed to grapple with what it would mean to have a former president as second spouse.

BHO is so full of himself. This is what he's thinking about as he searches for a VP? :rolleyes:

bill clinton slept at their dc home less than a handful of times according to a previous nyt article a yr or so ago. he is usually in ny or any other place on the globe. i am sure this was part of bill and obama 20 min phone call "I will do my philanthropy and whatever you ask like W did me and Bush Sr and be out of the way"

Sorry but I can never vote for BHO, never! Hillary needs to stay away from him.... far, far away!

Plan A - Hillary
Plan B - McCain

Never BHO, never!

[ny4hrc]

I could never vote for BO. He is bad for this country. It would bother me to vote against Hillary but I would.

Okay if he asks her but she should not take that spot. She is much better than a VP spot especially as VP to BHO. She can do much more in the Senate and in 4 years, if there is a democracy left, she can run again. If she is his VP her chance of ever becoming President is slim to none.

NO BHO ever, Hillary or John McCain as President.

Totally agree with this assessment. It's a no-brainer for Hillary to STAY OFF THE TICKET!!! She will be blamed when he loses. If, God forbid, he wins, she will be a joke and he will disrespect her at every opportunity.

She's stronger as a Senator, and in four years another run for the White House.

And, BTW, I would not vote for BO if Hillary was on the ticket in the 2nd spot. It's an insult to a great woman.

My vote cannot be bribed like that.

I Don't Care If Hillary Is V.p., I Will Never Vote For Barack Obama.

I Don't Want Obama Anywhere Near The White House. Never.

[santafek]

I will never ever vote for Bobo as pres. I don't care who is on the VP ticket. No Deal.
