If in fact Barack Hussien Obama Jr. has clinched the Democrat nomination, do you think that he would be open to having Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton as his VP running mate?? Hillary stated that she is open to the idea, if it helps the Democrats, but do you really think that after all that has occured in the campiagn that Obama would go for it??

Clinton says she's open to being Obama's VP

WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton has told congressional colleagues she would be open to becoming Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee, saying she would consider it if it would help Democrats win the White House.

Clinton, a New York senator, made the comment on a conference call with other New York lawmakers Tuesday, according a participant on the call.

The senator's remarks came in response to a question from Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez who said she believed the best way for Obama to win over key voting blocs, including Hispanics, would be for him to choose Clinton as his running mate.

"I am open to it," Clinton replied, if it would help the party's prospects in November.

He has said she would be on anyones short list.

The question I think is does he need her to shore up the womens vote.

Or does he want to pick someone that gives him more help in the electoral College.

If he's smart, he won't go for it. There are other Democrat women out there that don't have the negatives Hillary has.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

I think there is too much dirty water under the bridge for him to bring her on the campaign trail.

On one of the very first posts I made on this forum, I stated the kind of person Obama needs to choose for vp. He needs to choose someone like Wes Clark, to fill the perceived "lack of national security experience" void in his campaign.

But that's just my opinion.

I think this has been one of the most civilized primaries in a long time.

Sure there were some things said but nothing either candidate can't live with.

No, I don't think he will pick her but not becuase of whats been said this primary.

The VP does not make the offer.

The presidential candidate makes the offer.

Or Jim Webb.

Taking Clinton as his running mate would result in the two of them killing each other in the end.

I'd rather he pick Edwards.

I'm too young to have first hand exp with other presidential runs, but if I were him, I'd stay away from her and not offer her any position in my cabinate. Then try to talk it off as we need a strong powerful woman like her in the senate.
