PastaJoe Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Join the petition to include Hillary on the ticket (assuming Obama remains the choice of superdelegates): http://womenforfairpolitics.com/post/2008/...ny-J-Davis.aspx Petition to: Senator Barack Obama Dear Senator Obama, We write you because we believe it is very important for the Democrats to win back the presidency in 2008. To do so, we must field the strongest possible ticket for the Democratic Party. We believe the 2008 election could be close. And your selection of a vice presidential candidate may make the difference between victory and defeat. We write to urge you to select Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to be your choice for vice president because we believe that she would be, by far, the most qualified and strongest candidate to be your running mate. Both you and Senator Clinton during this campaign have demonstrated strengths in different segments of the electorate and in different parts of the country. Together, you stand the best chance of making U.S. history not once but twice -- the first African American president and the first female vice president since the founding of our great nation. We know this is ultimately your decision on who is to be your running mate. But with the greatest respect, we ask you to select Senator Clinton in recognition of the more than 17 million Democrats who supported her at the polls and who, in combination with your more than 17 million supporters, would form the base of a successful presidential campaign in the November election. Sincerely, "Hillary for VP '08 Committee" Lanny J. Davis Washington, D.C.
Chilly Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I'll sign it, just to piss the Obamians off who hate her.
pBills Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I don't hate her. I just think that she blew her chance last night. Instead of ending it gracefully she was pretty much defiant.
PastaJoe Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 I don't hate her. I just think that she blew her chance last night. Instead of ending it gracefully she was pretty much defiant. She doesn't owe Obama anything, why should she kiss his ass after the way his supporters in the public and media have attacked her? If he wants her support and those of her supporters, he should make the first move and offer her the VP spot. If he doesn't, then he can roll the dice and good luck winning without them.
Chef Jim Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 This is one way to get her out of the Senate. You know, if I lived in NY I might just fall for that.
/dev/null Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Can I sign it as "I. Ron Myshirt"? Only if I can sign it as Holden McGroin
Gavin in Va Beach Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 You've got to be kidding me. Besides, the smart move is a white male selection for veep. Asking the general public to vote for the first black president and if something should happen to him the backup plan would be the first female president might not be the smartest move political strategy-wise. It's not a racial or sexist thing, it's a playing to win thing. /Will probably vote libertarian or not vote at all. The choices in this election blow...

Did they use terms like "Soul Train" too, ya fuggin' hypocrite?

If he picks her after all this crap he's an idiot.

If he wants her support and those of her supporters, he should make the first move and offer her the VP spot. If he doesn't, then he can roll the dice and good luck winning without them. She owes him the respect of congratulating him on the nomination. He goes out of his way to show her respect when she doesn't deserve it. All she had to do last night was say "we fought hard, and thanks for all your support, I congratulate Mr. Obama on his victory, and now let's make sure we put a democrat in the White House..." Instead, she had to play her defiant little games. She has no chance whatsoever of being on the ticket after that. It's over, deal with it.
PastaJoe Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 Did they use terms like "Soul Train" too, ya fuggin' hypocrite? No, it was more along the lines of B word, witch, and c#nt.

That's assuming she had decided to end the campaign for the nomination, which she hadn't as of last night. She just ended her primary campaign. She congratulated him on running a strong campaign and said we need a Democrat to win, but to congratulate him for victory would have been premature if she still is working on superdelegates.

Wow, you are a Buffalo Bills fan. You have such a hard time letting go of a loser.
