Description:	Much of the joy and new hope I expected to feel last night -- with the blessed lifting of some part of a lifelong shame about America's perpetually broken promise -- was spoiled, of course, as it was for many others, by the characteristic spectacle of Senator Clinton both refusing to concede to the presumptive nominee and, at the same time, letting it be known that she would be willing to do him the favor of accepting the second spot on his ticket. If Obama can't deal with this particular 3 AM call, this potentially fatal threat to the hope and promise of his noble and inspiring campaign and his great message of change, then he may not be strong or experienced enough to be president. As with so many others who felt victory turning to ashes at the prospect of this nightmare ticket, I've been asking myself if I could in good conscience still vote for this great man if that means also casting a vote for her. 1. She must apologize for her war authorization vote (& for voting against the Levin Amendment; and for not reading the NIE first). She doesn't have to explain. I've heard her explanation, and it is not as good as mine; but I'm willing to move on. All she has to do is apologize. 2. She must apologize for saying that McCain is more qualified to be Commander-in-Chief than Obama (even though McCain never actually served as First Lady). 3. She must apologize for her Iran war authorization vote (Kyl-Lieberman Amendment) and for threatening to "obliterate" Iran. 4. She must apologize for her hypocrisy about the Michigan and Florida votes (you know, for Most Admired Woman--celebrities always win). 5. She must apologize for her nakedly racist plea, often repeated, that she is more "electable" than Obama, especially in states with a lot of poor WHITE working people who just won't vote for him, bless their hearts. 6. She must apologize in general for her husband's behavior and promise to keep him out of Obama's way, by divorce and a restraining order, if necessary. 7. She and her husband must give solemn promises that there are no smoking guns in his post-presidency behavior that will allow McCain and the contemptible Republican swiftboatmen to distract the voters and damage Obama in the general election. 8. She must solemnly promise that she will never triangulate again: she will always tell the truth, as calmly and clearly as she can; and as close to spinless truth as she can manage; and that her position and message will be exactly the same whatever crowd or person she is addressing. 9. She must apologize for her alternately lying, crowing, and whining campaign, for Mark Penn, Howard Woolfson, Harold Ickes, Terry McAuliffe, James Carville, Lanny Davis, and Geraldine Ferraro, and especially for blaming her inevitable plunge from "inevitability" on "sexism." 10. She must apologize for all her insinuations (i. e., "as far as I know") and her pandering (i.e., using different accents in different states, bragging about her long history of duck hinting, knocking one back with the poor WHITE guys who love her so much, jumping aboard McCain's out-of-gas gas-tax-moratorium bandwagon, etc., etc., etc.). http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-dwyer/vice-president-clinton-my_b_105232.html So, will Hillary Clinton be on the ticket? To answer that question, we have to figure out the right question to ask. Would Obama consider her, seriously? At this point, no. Judging by the attitude of those who are advising him, what turns Obama off the most about the Clintons generally is the sense that the party was hers and her sense of desert that she is owed something. Some Obama advisers were very much turned off by the presence of vice presidential talk yesterday although they attribute this more to Clinton's advisers than to Clinton. From my first interviews with Obama advisers and members of his family, I've gotten an overwhelming sense that President Clinton's Oval Office dalliance with Monica Lewinsky deeply offended them and that the incident, its effect on the country, and its aftermath, shape in many ways the Obama family's view of the Clintons today. (It is certainly true of some of his staff members.) http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/06/questions_to_ask_about_the_uni.php

Vote for mccain so we can have Hillary in 2012

I knew it! I knew it! Obama is doomed! Larry Sinclair already has enough to destroy him! But what occurred today will be the clincher! This will definitely stop Obama!

I vote Biden. He's a badass, a good debater, and has more foreign policy cred than McCain.

It should be Mark Warner. He completely embodies Obama's themes: integrity, bipartisanship, new form of politics. Tim Kaine can run in place of him for the Senate.

I think Obama should consider Chuck Hagel for VP. The man has opposed the Iraq war from the start and would help heal the red blue divide

Obama is going to kick the crap out of McCain.

Either way, Obama is a loser and will lose.

funny that a committe for a vp search. the great clinton is here. no need for a search. she will guarantee the dems. in the wh. if not, mccain will be president.

Hillary as a running mate would insure he doesn't get elected in swing states.

Hillary would help him get elected but she really doesnt offer anything to the Obama administration.She doesnt have any foreign policy experience and her economic record is actually very poor.

Obama should leave Hillary on the side of the road and keep on truckin to the White House.

Jim Webb.

white garbage u can start crie now... coz white grabage wil be under the law now. U WHITE GARBAGE GOING DIRECT TO JAIL. absolut.GOD BLESS AMERICA THEN.

I hope Obama considers Chuck Hagel for VP. Would go a long way to heal red / blue divide in America. Chuck seems like a righteous dude.

Wes Clark is the best choice for VP. He's a successful retired general; He spoke out against the War in Iraq; He's a Clinton supporter. He's run a presidential campaign; He's a southern white male. This is the one ticket the Democrats can cover all the bases with. If that's not enough, watch 'Clark smacks Fox News'.

AntiConformist911, the videos you've downloaded of his passionate performance before the DNC in Florida, gives me the impression that he could deliver Florida signed, sealed and delivered.

I like him a lot, but (from a purely tactical standpoint) only if he could deliver Florida

and?...where's the rest?

if she respected her voters, really respected them, she would have conceded her campaign, instead of stoking false hopes in a narcissistic effort to somehow change the democratic party rules. had she been honest to her campaign and addressed her campaign's deficiencies - a lack of a strategy following super tuesday, bill clinton's erratic behavior, a flawed message (attempting to run on her experience while emphasizing being the "change" candidate) - she would have stood a chance.

Robert Wexler would make a fine VP The last few minutes of this video is priceless watch?v=J0m7XiGTqTo
