I Would Rather Clinton Be The Nominee, Than Be Obama's VP Pick
I'm serious. I think them together, teaming up, would be an utter disaster.

I think they're both capable of running fine campaigns by themselves, but put them together and I think you get the worst of both worlds instead of the best of either one of them.

I'm saying this as an Obama supporter that I'd have more confidence in Hillary Clinton having the Democratic nomination by herself rather than her on the ticket with Obama.

I don't know, maybe I'm the only one. I just think, even if things weren't getting is icky as they are right at this moment in time, that these two particular Democrats are like oil and water, they don't really go together well.

Hillary, win the nomination or be content with the Senate. I'd be much happier with you as the nominee rather than the VP pick. My first choice, though, being Obama as the nominee.

3. I would rather she be voted out of the Senate
and crawl into a hole and stay there.

8. I would rather everyone just shut up about the matter
and let the woman run her campaign.

4. I'm on the fence.
I'm not sure if Clinton would be a good VP pick. She would definately help in unifying the party, but she wouldn't help much in terms of bringing on independents or increasing our turnout. (Though I'm definately more open to it than the mob of people here. Luckily, Obama is sheltered from his own supporters' rants.)

6. I don't want her within 50 miles of Washington ever again.
But.....I don't hate her.

I actually feel sorry for her. I use to respect her.

7. You mean the Dream Ticket?
It's Sean Hannity's dream, by the way. Just don't make me change the bedsheets the next morning.

9. Yes, the pairing is particularly ill-advised
Better for either to be the candidate and the other not on the ticket.
