August 23, 200818 yr In no way do I think she deserved the spot. I give Obama credit for not acting like it was a consideration. :confused: He said she would be on anyone's short list and he would consider her. Then he didn't. Of course that is par for the course with Obama.
August 23, 200818 yr In no way do I think she deserved the spot. I give Obama credit for not acting like it was a consideration.Why not? Hillary is the only other Democrat who proved that they could bring voters to the booth. That is why I think it will be a bonehead move if Obama names any presidential also-ran to the ticket. Joe Biden has proven that he is a lousy candidate - repeatedly.

Mike Huckabee had a good analogy. Joe Biden is an utility player. He is the Ryan Freel of the Democratic party.:lol::lol::lol:

A lousy presidential candidate maybe... VP has yet to be determined...... If I was Obama I would of chosen Wesley Clarke
August 23, 200818 yr In a history-making U.S. presidential campaign, presumptive Democratic Party nominee Barack Obama is set to mark another first — he will be the first presidential candidate to reveal his running mate through text-messaging. Obama has all but settled on his choice for vice-president, the New York Times cited aides as saying Tuesday, and he will disclose his decision in the coming days, possibly as early as Wednesday. But instead of breaking the news at a media conference or at the Democratic Party's convention, due to begin Monday, he will instead notify supporters through a text message first, Obama's campaign manager said in an e-mail last week. http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/08/19/obama-text.html The NCAA might have something to say about this!!!

Why put someone on that you don't like nor respect?
August 23, 200818 yr :confused: He said she would be on anyone's short list and he would consider her. Then he didn't. Of course that is par for the course with Obama. Again, he didn't string her along. Why put her through it just for show?
August 23, 200818 yr Why put someone on that you don't like nor respect? I will answer your question with a post I made earlier. I made the comment/question to my firmly Democrats and Clinton loving parents tonight.....Is winning the election enough for Obama compared to having to put up with Billary as the VP for the next 4 or 8 years?
August 23, 200818 yr Again, he didn't string her along. Why put her through it just for show? Who cares about her??? He strung along her supporters by them THINKING she was being considered. Now they will be PO'd that she WASN'T being seriously considered. Wonder how that Hillary night is going to be at the convention with her supporters knowing that Obama strung THEM (the voters) along, allowing them to think she might actually be on the ticket.
August 23, 200818 yr I will answer your question with a post I made earlier. No way. I don't believe for a minute that he likes Hillary. My guess is that he'd rather lose without her than to have to have her as a partner for four years. If he was simply doing anything to "win" he'd be against abortion, for lower taxes, he'd take a hard line on immigration, etc.

Wonder how that Hillary night is going to be at the convention with her supporters knowing that Obama strung THEM (the voters) along, allowing them to think she might actually be on the ticket. Anybody that seriously thought she was a candidate wasn't paying attention. I'd challenge any of her supporters to show that he strung her along.

If he was simply doing anything to "win" he'd be against abortion, for lower taxes, he'd take a hard line on immigration, etc. I didn't say he liked her. I firmly believe he cannot stand her. My point is he had to look at it as I can with with her on the ticket but then I have to put up with her for the next 4 or 8 years. I agree with you that he would rather lose without her than have to deal with her AND her husband.

I would hang out with him...
August 23, 200818 yr Why put someone on that you don't like nor respect?I despise Hillary and Bill Clinton but I am a conservative and still find some things about them to respect. I can understand Obama not liking the Clintons but he is a fool if he does not respect them. I just do not understand the logic of putting a proven loser like Biden on the ticket. There are plenty of Democrats who have not been soundly defeated while running for national office. Voters - Democratic ones - have already looke at Biden and said, "No thanks!" by huge margins. Bayh is not tainted by a series of humiliating defeats and he is less prone that either Obama or Biden to sticking his leg into his mouth. Obama/Biden would be twin loose cannons.

I don't think he respects them for how they campaigned especially in South Carolina. 2. It seems to me that Biden is well thought of on his side of the fence. While Biden lost to other Dems it doesnt mean he would not be supported by them in November. He would bring extensive foreign policy expertise which Obama obviously lacks. 3. He certainly would make for an entertaining end to this election.
