Obama Camp Turns to Clinton to Counter Palin

Why didn't he ask her to be on the ticket?

i also, wondered why she was not chosen as v-p.....i assume, it was cause of Bill..more than her or her abilities...

[one...two...tree 2,762]

All this hatred for Obama. Dev, stop smearing him.

Steven, grow up. Truly.

####### for tat....kool-aid drinking and all that sort rubbish. Stop the hatred and smearing, please.

Wow, are you really an adult?

Just please stop the smearing Obama and his supporters...that's all I'm asking. No more kool-aid drinking references...no more snide remarks, just lets both be adults and discuss the issues. Whaddya say?

it's your guy asking for her help - not a smear at all - can you grasp that?

I was kind of hoping that he would have chosen Hillary as his VP, and perhaps he did first offer it to her and she declined? When Bill Clinton spoke at the DNC and said that Obama's choice in Biden was "hitting it out of the ballpark," he reassured Democrats that both he and Hillary were happy with Obama's decision.

As if he could say otherwise?

I think if Obama wins, Hillary gets a Cabinet post.

And for yourself? I am not the one who posts an average of 6 new topics a day, many bashing the Reps.

I have posted 3 topics since July 18. You have posted 155 since August 1.

Think about it. A former president would become the spouse to the second fiddle. Sure, it might have made it easier to win the election in November but it would have made it all but impossible to effectively govern the years after. I don't think either Clinton or Obama would be comfortable with this. Just my opinion.

Just stop the hatred and smearing of Obama and his supporters. Can you agree to stop referring to them as 'kool-aid drinkers?' Come on, this isn't doing anybody any good. Let's get back to discussing the actual issues, while showing respect for opposing viewpoints.

Why is that a given? It's not like he sits around all day twiddling his thumbs now is it? He's had a very successful career beyond his years at the WH and I can't really see why he wouldn't have continued doing that if his wife had been picked as VP.

I don't actually think that was the reason she wasn't picked but I don't have a viable alternative beyond that the choice was and had to be made by Obama and be seen to be made by Obama.

Regardless, from Hillary's point of view, as I think her agenda is more important than her personal ambition I am sure she has found a way to continue with it, which probably more than a little hangs on the Dem candidate getting elected.

Wow, reading comprehension 101 is sure not happening today...last time I mentioned Koolaid was August 26. You mentioned your fave word 'bitter' just yesterday!

Now Charles, that is not respectful! Buck up!

What date did I last use the word 'bitter'? Is this how we'll solve these squabbles? In a contest of who takes the high road more than the other?

You are certainly trying...

I'm not sure why you have singled me out as the worst offender. I rarely post on here, and as I have said a million times, my vote is UNDECIDED. I am sick of the Obama zealotry & am only trying to show the other side, which falls on deaf (bitter) ears here, obviously.
