August 23, 200818 yr 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. "There's no doubt that she's qualified to be vice president, there's no doubt she's qualified to be president," Obama told NBC News. "She is tireless, she is smart. She is capable. And so obviously she'd be on anybody's short list to be a potential vice presidential candidate," said Obama And yet she wasn't on his.
August 23, 200818 yr Found this online that was being repeated on Hannity and Colmes all night. In an interview tonight on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Joe Biden said that he asked John McCain to run as Kerry's running mate. Now I'm no fan of Kerry, but this is interesting. This came in the context of John Stewart asking Biden about his presidential prospects in 2008. Stewart asked him what he thinks about the possibility of running against McCain, and his response was along the lines of... "McCain and I are good friends, I would love to run against him, I would also love to have him as my running mate." What do you think? Could something as simple as having a two party ticket be enough to shake up the partisanship that is gripping our political system and bring back some simple common sense?

Putting a member of another party on either ticket would be political suicide - and that is how it should be. If a candidate cannot find a member of his own party worthy of being president, then he should be switching parties.
August 23, 200818 yr Everyone is saying tonight that it is Biden. Keane and Bayh have been told they are not the nominee. Clinton was never even interviewed for the pick. That will come back to haunt him that he gave her no serious consideration. You make a good point. I think many Clinton supporters are very angry that she is not the presumptive POTUS nominee, let alone the vp nominee. Of the Clinton supporters, I wonder how many will toe the party line and vote for Obama, as opposed to how many will vote for McCain or how many will abstain from voting for either? And what will the effect on the outcome be?

And what will the effect on the outcome be? I saw a poll this week where something like 20% of those Hillary supporters said they'd vote McCain and 27% were undecided.
August 23, 200818 yr I would not be shocked to see Hillary on the ticket. In case anybody has forgotten, the Clintons are excellent liars and the leaks from her campaign about her not being vetted could be part of an elaborate ruse. I remember when Bill Clinton's cabinet members and high ranking members of his staff swarmed the Sunday talk shows for months repeating the lies that Bill Clinton fed them. This would be an excellent way for the Clintons to pay Drudge back for breaking the Monica story. And anyone could submit this very same post, only changing the names of the Clintons to Bush and Cheney, and Monica to WMDs. How amazing is that? It's like Mad Libs: the White House Edition
August 23, 200818 yr I saw a poll this week where something like 20% of those Hillary supporters said they'd vote McCain and 27% were undecided. I will be honest and admit that I am a Hillary Clinton supporter who is undecided betwixt voting for McCain and not voting at all. The second option disturbs me, as while I have voted Republican on occasion, I have never abstained from voting before.
August 23, 200818 yr And anyone could submit this very same post, only changing the names of the Clintons to Bush and Cheney, and Monica to WMDs. How amazing is that? It's like Mad Libs: the White House Edition :lol: Neither Bush nor Cheney have been impeached, have they? Bill Clinton lied to his own supporters and then watched them on TV as they repeated the lies to Clinton's willing accomplices in the mainstream media.l As this campaign has shown, the mainstream media is no friend of the GOP, so it is no coincidence that Democrats claims of WMD lies have gone largely unchallenged and widely repeated by media outlets echoing the Democratic Party line. The British, French, Italians, and even the Russians believed that Iraq had WMDs, so the alleged lies must have been really effective. Watching an American Secretary of State lie on national TV to cover up her president's tawdry affair was a low point in American politics. As I said, the Clintons are very, very good liars. They are in a league of their own.
August 23, 200818 yr 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.There's got to be a Monica joke in there, somewhere. :lol:
August 23, 200818 yr 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. He'd be a Republican.
August 23, 200818 yr I never said the Clintons were honest, only that they weren't in a "league of their own". Newsflash: All Politicians are Liars, Otherwise No One Would Vote for Them. But I will gladly continue with the Mad Libs: :lol: Neither Bush nor Cheney have been impeached(honest), have they? Bill Clinton(George Bush) lied to his own supporters and then watched them on TV as they repeated the lies to Clinton's(Bush's) willing accomplices in the mainstream media.l As this campaign has shown, the mainstream media is no friend of the GOP(average American citizen), so it is no coincidence that Democrats(Republicans) claims of WMD lies have gone largely unchallenged and widely repeated by media outlets echoing the Democratic(Republican) Party line. The British, French, Italians, and even the Russians(Coalition of the Willing, anyone?) believed that Iraq had WMDs, so the alleged lies must have been really effective. Watching an American Secretary of State(Colin Powell) lie on national TV(at the United Nations) to cover up her(his) president's tawdry affair(phony war) was a low point in American politics. As I said, the Clintons(and Bush-Cheney) are very, very good liars. They are in a league of their own,
August 23, 200818 yr AP Says Biden Accepts VP Nom. A Democratic official says Sen. Joe Biden will be Sen. Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee, The Associated Press reports.
August 23, 200818 yr Will the Obamites that were waiting patiently for their text message be upset that the rumming mate was "leaked" before they got their exclusive message?
