I Don't Want to See Her as VP (5.00 / 4) (#18)

I would actually have a more negative visceral reaction to the ticket.  I admit it's not rational, but I would.  Obama would do better with me having Clinton campaign for him, but not as his VP.

I do think Clinton pretty much has to choose Obama and she knows this.  I think she also knows saying she'd have him on her ticket will help her with SDs who may be worried about a split party.  Not likely the threat that Doug Wilder has made about the convention being 1968 will come to pass if Obama is on the ticket as VP (a wild overstatement, IMO, no pun intended).  But the Obama folks have repeatedly threatened to split the party all the while claiming Hillary will.  I've said it before if you want to know what the Obama campaign is up to, look at what they accuse Clinton of doing.

I totally agree with this. Clinton, IMO, will not (5.00 / 5) (#29)

take the VP slot.  She's saying in a subtle way that she will put him on the ticket as VP.  And I think that when all is said and done, the SD's will give her the nomination if she wins Penn, and gets FL again.  I don't know a thing about Mich.  The SD's will take into account her wins in the big states as well as the fact that BO's votes have come in small, red states which were not contested, he has had a huge crossover vote which will not likely hold in the general election, and finally:  that the caucuses are a sham and not a true reflection of voter's intent.  As I've said numerous times, Hillary has the core of the Democratic party, and the SD's know this and hopefully will make this their highest consideration.

as first couple treating obama and michelle with courtesy and sharing of responsibility more than i see obama and michelle as first couple. the thought of the obamas acting with grace in a reverse position is hard to imagine. think back to michelle's very ugly comments. think back to obama's constant never ending whine about how he is being mistreated. i have begun to wonder if that is dog whistle for more racial bruhaha. that is not the profile of a leader in the democratic party or america.
