Hillary as VP

[Child_Of_Isis]

I just heard it on the tele. They said it "was going to happen". Look for a news blurb soon.

[saigon68]

1. That will guarantee a loss

[eleny]

4. Why?

[jesus_of_suburbia]

5. hardly.

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. Maybe that's what the DLC wants?

They willingly threw away Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts. And they're letting their own puppet Blanche WalMart go down to a sure defeat in November, rather than get an upgrade to that seat. Then they let SC be stolen outright by electro-fraud.

The DLC can't make excuses for being a weak majority anymore, because the people aren't buying it. So they would rather go back to being the minority party, where they can vote along with the Repukes and NOT be noticed doing so. Like they did when Chimp occupied the White House.

[Beacool]

15. It must be because this president is such a progressive.

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. Why did I click on that?

Now I have to go throw up :puke:

32. Ahem.

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/HughBeaumont/32

Madam Windsock isn't exactly a beacon of progressivism herself, especially when it comes to labor issues and job offshoring.

[Beacool]

38. Yeah, but the mantra I heard during the primaries was that Hillary was DLC

while Obama was a progressive and "hadn't voted for the war in Iraq". My contention was that he wasn't even in the senate in 2002. One speech against the war from his safe state senate seat notwithstanding, he didn't say much else against it. Don't you remember what he said to Russert in 2004? He said that he didn't know how he would have voted if he had been in the senate. Of course he took it back pretty quickly when he was running for president.

[Beacool]

11. Yeah, because she got so few votes the last time around.

:eyes:

[Jamastiene]

47. Zing!

Good one. :thumbsup:

[On the Road]

39. That MIght Have Been True at One Time,

but you have to take into account more recent changes in public attitudes:

[Radical Activist]

41. So Hillary gets more popular when she's out of the public spotlight

where people don't hear from her much. That says a lot.

[Aramchek]

2. no, thanks

[jesus_of_suburbia]

3. I don't believe it unless Joe has health issues.

[tekisui]

14. Joe went into it with a history of health issues.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

21. I know... but I think unless his condition worsened, it seems like he should

be able to do another 4 years as VP. Someone also mentioned them switching positions. I think SOS would be more stressful than VP, so I don't think that's a good idea if Joe is having health issues.

[tekisui]

25. Switching makes no sense.

But, the switching claim was that Hillary was getting tired, and wanted the VP job. Which still makes no sense.

[Dr Morbius]

6. Mrs. Clinton is doing fine work as SecState. I want her to stay there. (nt)

[CakeGrrl]

7. "They" who?

[Child_Of_Isis]

18. Sorry I didn't get her name.

I got too freaked out. It was a blonde who covers the White House. That's all I can tell you. The reporter said...you heard it here first.

The blonde ended with "it WILL happen"

[Renew Deal]

8. Who said it?

And Why?

[Child_Of_Isis]

12. MSNBC

I'll give you the rundown of what I heard. Hillary is tired. Her & Biden WILL switch jobs & it is well known in Washington.

[CakeGrrl]

19. This must be that Sally Quinn thing over on GD: P

From what I can tell, she's just pontificating.

Is Quinn implying that the VP job is more 'restful' if Hillary's tired out from being SoS? What sense does that make? She'll be even more tired if she had to take over as POTUS. Makes no sense.

...and here's some backup:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/17/sally-quinn-wants-joe-bid_n_616523.html

Sounds like wishful thinking, not a story with legs.

[Child_Of_Isis]

23. The reporter went into that

about how tiring campaigning is & the blonde went into jet lag & international travel..and that Hillary is "tired".

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She wouldn't give up her sources though, but when pressed was very adamant about it happening.

[pinboy3niner]

24. Yes. Fox had it, too--and their Fox & Friends team APPLAUDED it nt

[Radical Activist]

36. Hlilary's biggest fan base was always the NYC and DC press.

I guess that hasn't changed.

[City Lights]

9. What channel were you watching? nt

[madokie]

13. nickles to donuts it was faux

Edit to add: my bad, MSNBC daytime is faux light as far as I'm concerned

[tekisui]

17. FUX is the only source I could find a link to suggesting it.

Sorry to link to them:

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/06/09/liz-peek-hillary-clinton-obama-run-democrats/

[Bluebear]

22. Hillary Clinton's approval ratings higher than Obama's for first time...

and Sally Quinn suggesting Hillary and Biden switch places. It's all I can find.


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/17/AR2010061703463.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/2010/06/16/20100616milbank17.html

[Beacool]

28. Her approval ratings are not higher for the first time.

They have been higher for quite a few months.

;-)

[Bluebear]

34. Well, I can't say that

or I will be called a PUMA who never loved Barack even though I voted for Edwards like a sucker. Phew, that's a mouthful.

[Beacool]

40. Yeah, I get accused of that all the time.

It doesn't bother me at all.

:D

[Child_Of_Isis]

29. That may have beeen her.

Because she spoke of neutralizing Palin. But there was no 'should' to it. She said it was going to heppen.

[AngryOldDem]

55. I believe that was the gist of the discussion.

A talking head and Sally were conversing about whether it makes sense for Biden and Clinton to switch roles. Nothing at all official was implied.

[City Lights]

20. I agree, which is why I almost never turn on msnbc during the day. nt

[YOY]

16. Like it would make a difference...

n.t.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

31. Like the difference between to-may-to and to-mah-to.

[joanski0]

27. I heard Sally Quinn on CNN say

somebody told her that and she wasn't going to say who. Then the host asked her if she (Sally) thought it was going to happen. Sally answered "I think so". Then the host said they caught up with Hillary as she was coming out of a meeting and asked her about it. Hillary just laughed, she said.

[Radical Activist]

30. Sally told Bobby that Chrissy likes him but she won't say who told her.

Most of the cable news act like high school gossips. Have they asked what Obama looks like when he's angry again?

[Jamastiene]

46. Well, Chrissy just passed me a note that said:

"Do you like me?"

with check boxes underneath that:
:graybox: Yes
:graybox: No

So, that CAN'T be true. Unless she's cheating on me already. :think:

[McCamy Taylor]

35. Why? She's doing fine as SOS. VP is a waste. Is this for 2012 maybe?

That I could see so that the Dems could sew up 2016. But not now.

[Arkansas Granny]

37. I searched for this on google and all I come up with is a column by Sally Quinn headlined

"Hillary Clinton should be Obama's vice president"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/17/AR2010061703463.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

It appears that this is her opinion and not based on any kind of fact.

[MilesColtrane]

42. Lord knows that "they" are always right.

Might want to take that with this:

[Donnachaidh]

43. WTF? n/t

[Jamastiene]

44. Why, oh why, did you give me that earworm?

Now, all I can see and hear are those California Raisins doing "I Heard It Through The Grapevine."

:banghead:

[Child_Of_Isis]

48. Don't shoot the messenger.

I am just telling you what the tele told me. :cry:

I did start wondering how Hillary would have reacted to the spill is she were Prez.

[Jamastiene]

49. I shall forever refer to you as the California Raisin poster.

:P

I wonder that too. I do like Hillary quite a bit.

[Child_Of_Isis]

51. If Hillary were to run as VP

I would become very worried about Obama's life.

[sufrommich]

61. Because she's a killer ,right?

:eyes:

[Beacool]

64. Are you on the right board?

This is the kind of crap one sees at the Freepers' site.

Pathetic..........

x(

[inna]

45. sorry, i don't believe it. link, anyone?

[Child_Of_Isis]

50. I don't know if it is true.

Or maybe Washington doesn't want us to know it yet.

[MyNameGoesHere]

Also has been mentioned on MSNBC, CNN, and faux.

[inna]

53. Thanks for the links.

But this is all pundits taling, right? I don't think she or Obama is considering it in any way. (?)

[pinboy3niner]

57. The pundits are all talking about WHAT SALLY QUINN SAID

Quinn asserts that it is under discussion in "Administration circles"--but she cites NO sources, and her editors dropped that assertion from their print editions. My BS detector is off the scale...

[MyNameGoesHere]

58. My guess it is the right doing it

and as usual I am guessing that Obama is listening.

[ProSense]

54. Hillary for VP because Obama's policies would change?

Oh brother.

59. This is Some Ridiculous Theory That Sally Quinn has Cooked Up in Order to Remain Relevant

Nobody cares about her anymore and her days of being the grande dame of social DC are numbered.

If Sally told me it was raining, I'd immediately go outside to see if I got wet...

[demtenjeep]

60. NO. Biden is doing great

.

[saltpoint]

62. I hope it's not true.

[pinboy3niner]

63. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

You've got multiple media "stories"--all tracing back to Sally Quinn. She ASSERTS that she heard this from inside "Administration circles"--but her editors dropped that claim from their print edeitions.

C'mon--it's Sally Quinn....
