Obama: If You’re Looking For A Veep, Don’t Call Me
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary
What? He doesn’t want to be a on a “Dream Ticket” with Hillary?
Q: You’ve raised $55 million in February and in your speech today you said "I was against the war in ’03, ’04, ’05 — all the way on through 2010, and you specifically mentioned Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Could you ever see yourself on the same ticket as Senator Clinton?A: Well, you know, I think it’s premature. You won’t see me as a vice presidential candidate — you know, I’m running for president.
Here’s the thing…if Hillary is really claiming that Obama hasn’t passed the “Commander in Chief threshold” (whatever the hell that is), then how can she justify picking him as VP? I know she continues to bring up the possibility of a dual ticket, but if I were Obama, I wouldn’t take it either.

Why would Obama want to attach himself to Hillary? If the Dems pick her at the convention he should just say he supports her and move off to the side, and in four years when McCain has made a hash of it come back as the nominee and win it in a landslide

Good thing he nipped this thought in the bud! Clintons are floating it around so voters can feel free to vote for HER because she will pick HIM, anyways! She is a joke. Someone stop her for the good of the Country.

He’ll take it. He’ll take it because party elders will ask him to take it for the good of the party. He’ll take it because he it will set him up for the nomination of the party in eight years.
Of course he is not running for Vice President. He has to say that. He probably was when he started, but not now, since he has done so well. Yes, of course he is running for President, but if he does not get it, He’ll take the VP.

Why? If Hillary goes down it will hurt him as well, let her sink

Clinton is trying to have everyone’s cake and eat it too. She’s playing the victim and the aggressor. She’s ridiculing Obama, while consistently playing up the idea of a unity ticket to bring in undecided voters.

Intuitive analysis, Andy.
I think the Clintons have clearly been deceiving the people as they have always done. They have made seriously false allegations countless times and presented it to voters in states like OH and TX. Unfortunately the voters were not skilled enough to see through them. We need to do all we can to make sure voters in other states such as PA, MI and FL see the truth about the Clintons.

The Rush factor, vote Hillary? Oh gosh, the perfect dream ticket would be McCain/Clinton. Yeah dream on! Just think about it, the fanatical far left teams up with the fanatical far right! No really, Hillary says McCain would be a good Commander in Chief and McCain needs the support of the far right that’s been voting of HRC. Are they both delusional?
They not only need each other, they deserve each other.
