Watching Barbara Boxer on MSNBC...I want an Obama/Boxer ticket

[MadBadger]

Of course if he gets the nomination, I dont think it will happen. Arnold I believe could appoint somebody to take her place if Im not mistaken. But I think that ticket would be a real winner.

[fenriswolf]

1. I would so take boxer over the top 2 candidates.

[tblue]

2. Me, too!

;)

[Bicoastal]

5. Barbara Boxer should be our first female president. nt

[Windy]

15. Absolutely!!! I wish she was running instead of Clinton! a true progressive and a true leader! nt

[MadBadger]

17. Thats what I think.

[politicasista]

19. She really should n/t

[EFerrari]

3. Please do not wish CA lose the only progressive Senator we have!

Arnold would appoint a Republican and we'd be screwn.

[MadBadger]

6. I know, I know. I can dream though can I? My realistic ticket is Obama/Richardson

[EFerrari]

14. Barbara is awesome in everything she does.

I watched her kick EPA @ss last week which is difficult under this administration. She just plowed right in. And she stood with the CBC when the Senate tried to paper over Ohio. We're lucky to have someone like her. :)

[truedelphi]

21. And have you ever seen her lose her cool? I haven't.

She is David going against Goliath so many times, yet inevitably she is calm and poised and acting like the world is her oyster.

Her attitude seems to be a childlike one ("childlike" in the greater sense of the word) -- that because she is right she will win. Using her calmness and perseverance as the victorious weapon against the Forces of relentless Evil.

28. Thats my vote

with Edwards as AG... go after those corporations!... Plus Obama does amazing in redish districts... with all these republicans retiring... we might get enough votes to get some meaningful policies passed. Of course if you want the opposite to happen vote for hillary.

[patrice]

4. Boxer/Sebelius nt

[cyclezealot]

10. Think I'd prefer Boxer/ Feingold. `

Have to be a little realistic. The sad part. Arni wants her slot. He will have the big bucks. It won't be easy for Barbara come 2010.

[patrice]

26. Clinton/Boxer? . . . . I know, "never happen" . . .

Clinton/Bob Graham?

[cyclezealot]

33. too bad Clinton did not listen to Graham

before she cast her vote to go to war in Iraq. Bob Graham knew better. So, guess that would be a positive for her actual Administration. Graham could say, told you so.

[featherman]

7. No sitting Senator would be my guess

[gateley]

8. When I still had a hope for Biden,

I couldn't make up my mind between Obama and Boxer for VP. Of course, Joe never sought my input, so I didn't have to decide.

I'd LOVE to see Boxer as VP!

[MadBadger]

9. My top ticket was Biden/Obama

[rucky]

11. I can't believe Joe snubbed you like that.

I bet he didn't shake your hand, either. ;)

[gateley]

23. ....

:rofl:

[aquart]

12. To show he does NOT disrespect powerful women?

If I were you, I'd hope he could find it in himself to do that, too.

[MonkeyFunk]

13. America might elect a black man

but not along with a 67-year old Jewish liberal woman from Marin.

[Windy]

20. That 67 year old jewish liberal is twice the progressive that Hillary is!

[MonkeyFunk]

25. I said nothing negative about Boxer

I've been voting for her for many years.

I'm discussing a political reality, but you have to turn it into a candidate slam. Can't you people help yourselves? Or is it biological?

And what does this thread have to do with Clinton? Or are you fighting with my avatar? That's really fucking childish.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Obama is going to have to have a VP with foreign policy experience of some kind.

McCain would kick his ass with his warmongering campaign...terror, terror, terror...fear, fear, fear.....war, war, war for 100 years in Iraq.

I do love Boxer though.

[MadBadger]

18. Well thats why my realistic ticket is Obama/Richardson

Gives that experience, plus it helps with the hispanic vote.

[patrice]

22. Richardson was my early pick. But this ticket would drive Every Racist in the country even further

out of their freaking gourds.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Richardson would be a great choice, but so would Hillary...the female vote

and Hispanics.

[patrice]

27. Clinton/Richardson? . . . . hmmmmm . . . . nt

[LiberalHeart]

29. I doubt Hillary's sister-in-law would be Obama's VP. It would ruin Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[indie_voter]

30. I thought they were ex in-laws (divorce) ? n/t

[badgerdemocrat]

31. HRC and BB's relationship

Boxer's daughter was married to HRC's brother. They divorced several years ago. The only relationship now is that Boxer's grandson's aunt is HRC.

[LiberalHeart]

32. That's odd. After my sister's divorce, I never stopped thinking of her ex as my bro-in-law.
