'"What does Hillary want?" the vanquished Democrat asked. The vice presidency. "What does she want?" Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton repeated. A prime-time speaking role at the Democratic National Convention. "I want to hear from you," she told cheering supporters on the night her campaign ended. "Go to hillaryclinton.com ... ."' WHAT DOES HILLARY WANT? How bout what's best for the people? Not what you fucking want. That's been her whole deal this entire time and it drives me fucking nuts. Even if you want power that bad, don't run around and make it entirely obvious. | ||

One of their current headlines is: Clinton should be veep, Obama urged Yeah, it scared the hell out of me too. Actually, it's just the owner of BET urging Obama to make Clinton VP, but CNN doesn't know shit for grammar. | ||

Actually, it's just the owner of BET urging Obama to make Clinton VP, but CNN doesn't know shit for grammar. Grammar outside the context of paragraphs and such changes (because this is English and English sucks?), so I think it's correct albeit a little misleading as is. "Clinton should be veep" would be in single quotes were it something Obama said. Commas act like periods in this context or something. -_-;; Anyhow, Clinton's posturing yesterday annoyed me. After March or so, sure, finish the remaining contests. Have your moment with your supporters once its done. Even take a few days off before saying anything if you must. But wtf don't talk about how you're the stronger candidate after you lost? Party unity bleh. edit: In other words, she seems to be blackmailing Obama for the VP bid before she'll throw full support behind him. I don't care as much if it's inappropriate or not, but it would certainly look bad if it looked like his hand was forced. From her actions it seemed like her #1 priority was becoming VP (at some smallish expense to the presidential race) rather than getting somebody who believes in doing 98% of the same things does policy-wise elected. But we'll see if she changes her tone or plays along a different line. | ||

On a night when Obama made history, Clinton's reaction was dangerously abrasive and selfish | ||

Kennedy and LBJ is the best example I can think of. If they both could be the nominee they would win every state in the union. However, I believe that Hillary will have to campaign very hard to get the Hillary Hardliners back on Obama's side. Kennedy sucked as president. Bill has ruined himself. It'll probably be Edwards or Richardson. <- complete guess | ||

Obama/Edwards would be the best combination by far imo. | ||
