Re: Who Should Be Obama’s VP?
I find it interesting that in describing Mrs. Clinton, you call her the former first lady, and not the two-term senator from New York.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Re: Who Should Be Obama’s VP?
No apology needed. I figured that was what you were thinking.
I reluctantly voted here for Hillary Clinton. I say "reluctantly" because I am still super super super super annoyed that she didn't win her party's nomination. People keep saying that she proved there is no longer a glass ceiling; I say that her NEARLY winning the nomination but still LOSING it is evidence that the glass ceiling is still there. Until someone breaks THROUGH the glass ceiling, it is still there.
Clinton's wording of the situation, in which she says she put eighteen thousand cracks in the glass ceiling, is a lot more accurate. Accepting the vice-presidential spot on the ticket is not going to break through anything unless the Democrats win (which I imagine is nearly a lock). Sure. Fine. But in this country, we're already used to the idea of women being second-in-command. I am not disregarding the significance of a Black man possibly being elected to the Presidency; however, I think we could have taken ENORMOUS steps forward as a nation if we'd elected a woman President.
So whatever. I lost this one. I'll take the Vice-Presidency, but I'm not happy.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Re: Who Should Be Obama’s VP?
previous posts dotted throughout the HT landscape are more than enough commentary as to why i prefer sen. clinton as obama's vp.
*points to signature*superbia (pride), avaritia (greed), luxuria (lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath) & acedia (sloth)--the seven deadly sins.
"when you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people i deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly..."--meditations, marcus aurelius (make sure you read the rest of the passage, ya lazy wankers!)
nothing humiliates like the truth.--me, in conversation w/mixedplatebroker re 3rd party, 2009-11-11, 1213

Re: Who Should Be Obama’s VP?
There are a lot of qualified people here, but my choice is Kathleen Sebelius.
She flipped a red state to blue, and has been a good governor for Kansas. Obama needs someone with executive experience, and I believe Sebelius' experience stands for quality.
She also attended the annual Bilderberg Group meeting last year, so you know she's going places
I'd also be happy with Bill Richardson or Wesley Clark. (the latter has no executive experience that I'm aware of, but military credentials are also good)Last edited by Vanguard; July 15, 2008, 02:21 AM.

Re: Who Should Be Obama’s VP?
Bill Richardson or John Edwards.
Edwards could have beaten The Idiot last go round. Dems chose Kerry instead. He still polls well among right voters.
Richardson gives Obama some "street cred" in the halls of DC. Brings the Hispanic vote on board. Has lots of great experience. And a good face of hair.
Clinton virtually guarantees a McCain win, according to every poll you can find.
I chose BR in this poll.FutureNewsNetwork.com
Energy answers are already here.

Wesley Clark is a retired 4-star general. So I don’t understand what you mean by “no executive experience.” He was the commanding general in the Battle of Kosovo. How much more executive can you get then that?

I've already stated in other threads that I'm comfortable with Richardson - but this poll is going to make me investigate some of the other options more fully.

At least if we go by your definition, we’ve narrowed down the eligible candidates to the handful of governors under consideration.

Re: Who Should Be Obama’s VP?
If it were a truly forecasted runaway win for BO I'd like to see Hill get the VP slot, but I'm not into even close calls this time. The '04 election was the tipping point for this country, and now we are sliding quickly into the abyss, which will take way more than BO and company to pull us out to any sufficient degree.
At this point, I select Jesse Ventura as VP, and his first job is to body slam BO for his support of Bush's FISA BS. 2nd job, chase down Bush/Cheney/Rove, de-bone and do 'em up like a turducken. 3rd job, bring back the boa.

I remember watching her "America's response" to the State of the Union earlier this year and just thinking, "WOW."Tessie, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only only only
