She will decide when to announce and it will not be Bernie or Biden or Warren.

This is just ridiculous. I was actually serious. I actually like Al Gore. I've always thought he should run again and I was sad when he lost. He's the same age as Hillary so why is that such an odd idea?

I love how people seem so intent on telling me what I really believe. When I didn't have a profile, I was a paid troll. When I actually put myself out there full on, then I wasn't a paid troll anymore but people were telling me what my ethics and believes really are.

The hubris and presumptuousness of some people here is beyond the pale.

if a poster is irritating you (and I can see why this one would be), you can use the ignore button. SHOUTING AT THEM isn't going to make anything better.

Honestly. He's gone on since he was Vice President to really be a voice for the environment. I was actually serious. The part that I thought would be funny was the way the Republicans would react. But whatever, if you want to keep insulting me, have at it.

I still don't get it. There was nothing not serious about my suggestion other than what I thought the reaction would be on the right.

I thought it was a reasonable enough suggestion although I can't see Al Gore wanting to go back to that job.

But I'm sure you're right. After how he was treated in 2000, I can't imagine he'd want the job.

I think she'll announce much earlier than after GOP convention. She'll get a big bump from it and then a bump from the convention. If she waist until the GOP convention, her veep bump will merge with the convention bump. Better to announce veep just before GOP convention. Especially if it looks to be contested. Take some attention, wind out of the sails.

Seriously, Joe's a sweetheart, but he's not a good choice for her. There are other possibilities who would bring in more voters, and strengthen her appeal with the demographic groups she needs, and go on to become the next Democratic president.

I don't care which one, and it won't matter anyways. The independents, which Clinton still has issues with, are not buying what Clinton is selling.

I would think that she'll pick Castro. He's a fellow 3rd-Wayer and he's gotten his beak wet in the housing foreclosure market so the powers that be know that he's going to play nice with Wall St.

Eight years was enough, and not in a bad way. But there's more people to choose from besides a Clinton, Biden or Obama.

So I expect that HRC will wait and see what Trump does. Bernie? He can name a VP, like Cruz, and it will be laughed at since he has no chance of being the nominee--his VP designate will have no chance of being VP. Besides I think Bernie is too smart to do something dumb like that.
