Why Obama Shouldn't Consider Hillary As Running Mate


If he chose her as his running mate, the opposition would endlessly hammer away at the fact that she repeatedly said that John McCain was more qualified. As Nancy Pelosi said, the moment she said that, she ruled out the possibility of Vice Presidency. '

Is this woman (Hillary Rodham Clinton) hallucinating? After 16 months of shredding Obama's policy, character, values etc. and trumping herself as "I'm the one, I'm more qualified" position, she expects to be asked to be the Vice President?

On June 2, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton told supporters that she would agree to be Senator Barack Obama’s running mate if he offered her the vice presidential spot. Mrs. Clinton made the remarks in an afternoon conference call with members of the New York Congressional delegation, according to two lawmakers who participated in the call.

Mrs. Clinton prefaced the remarks by noting that she would do “anything to make sure a Democrat would win'’ the presidential election in November, said Representative Carolyn McCarthy, a Democrat from Long Island.

“If Senator Obama asked her to be the V.P., she certainly would accept that,'’ she said. “She has obviously given some thought to this.'’

Representative Nydia Velasquez of New York City recalled the call with Mrs. Clinton similarly, saying: “She said that if it’s offered, she would take it.'’

How tactless and disgraceful. Remember, her extreme bitching made even McCain laughing and commenting in a rally, " That' s right, just fight amongst yourself to your doomsday". She still refuses to concede to Obama, while saying that she would accept the VP nomination? Huckabee stayed in the race until the end, however he conceded defeat before he talked about being McCain’s VP. Clinton seems to be using this as a threat. Either you ask me to be your VP or I will stay in and take this fight to the convention. Hillaryous!!!

The single biggest mistake Barack Obama could make is to ask Hillary Clinton to become his running mate.
