Obama will not be Clinton's running mate, who else agrees with this?

Question

I feel it's just the media and it's obession with these two. How crazy would it for Democrats if they nominated the two least qualified candidates with the worst resume's?

Joe Biden is the answer.

I also feel that this would not be a good political move for Obama.

And Clinton doesn't have an ego? Oh my god, both of them Bill and Hillary have the largest ego's on the planet. Biden's pale's compared to them.

Senior, Biden is the only candidate with a feasible and logical plan to get out of Iraq and attempt to preverve what's left of the Middle East. How is that not the answer? It's at least one. What has Clinton offered?

And, by the way, most people on here from what I have read would support Biden over Clinton and Obama simply because he is the most qualified candidate.

I'm not Phil McCrevice, and I'm Mac Hine.

Biden is very upfront and open about his mistake. He is honest and admits when he's wrong - how different is that!? Wow! "I messed up" I have not heard those words come from a polictian in years and years.

Answer 1

Generally I agree. I don't think Obama will be her VP for a number of reasons...
1. Obama has not been vetted in public yet to any significant extent (he has been coddled by his party thus far). There is much to attack him with. (Hillary knows this better than anyone in the Dem Party).
2. Hillary is not going to want a VP that would steal the spotlight from her. Obama would definitely steal her "thunder".
3. Obama lends nothing to Hillary in terms of votes. In fact, if anything Obama will only hurt her in the South, Mid-west, and the West. A woman running for President has its own significant challenges, adding a black man to the ticket only makes that challenge that much more difficult (that is just simply reality).
4. I am not sure they really like each other that much in reality.


Now all that said, Obama has a war chest of cash, and Hillary might pick him simply to get those dollars. A Hillary Obama ticket would raise alot of money with Dems. If Hillary picks him this alone will be the reason (although I still think she will not pick him for the above reasons).

Joe Biden of the current candidates running would probably be her best bet. He has been vetted, has the most experience of any of the candidates, lacks the controversy of the other choices, and has less "thunder" stealing potential (at least thats how he is perceived). Hillary could use him alot in the future, and Biden would be happy to fight her fight. They are similar in thinking and complement one another. He is far more professional, knowledgeable, and intelligent than Richardson or Edwards, and is a formidable speaker.

Edwards is perceived by many as a opportunist and a ambulance chasing lawyer rich pretty boy. He can't even deliver his home state to himself let alone Hillary. He would lend nothing to her but negatives and has all the negatives listed above with Obama but far less of the cash benefits.

Richardson is a very poor speaker, and despite his supporters claims, shows himself continually to not be very knowledgeable at all. He will embarrass the Clinton administration on a regular basis (he often has no idea what he is talking about. His obvious lack of understanding many issues, and his fumbling around in his speaking will not benefit Clinton). He is also the candidate that champions and symbolizes amnesty and open borders...which will simply be a beacon during the election to the entire nation that Hillary supports this very unpopular position (not just Republicans dislike that position).

Dodd is simply boring LOL.

The others are far too leftist and nonsupporting for and of Clinton. She is not a stupid woman and to pick Kucinich (sp?) or Gravel as VP would be stupid for her.

Answer 2

If Hillary Clinton did in fact get the Democratic nomination, Obama would jump at the chance to be her running mate for the experience. It's what all the polls and analysts say he lacks. It would then position him for a run at the Presidency again. He's a very intelligent man and has figured this out I'm sure.

Answer 3

It would be an extremely wise move on his part simply for her value as a diplomat who has years of experience with foreign nations. Colin Powell is another good candidate and has already pledged his support to McCain but he wishes to stay out of the limelight. But it wouldn't be about preventing history taking place. It's about what's good for the nation, which is something everyone except Obama supporters have realized.

Answer 4

Makes sense strategically. The VP is on the ticket to pull in additional constituencies. Hilly and O'bama have the same base and she's stronger in it than he is.

Biden, (now that he's finally lived down his plagiarism blunder,) Edwards or Richardson would be better choices. There are a couple of less obvious ones that woud be useful. Kuchinich, who would draw votes from the Greens, Socialists and Libertarians, Drayton of Ohio, whose business acumen and Target Stores fame would be impressive to small and medium sized business owners and Arlen Specter, the darling of the Republican Center.

Answer 5

Hillary will choose Vince Foster as her running mate. Oh nevermind, he had an accident in Little Rock.

What about Hillary Rodinme Clinton and Mancy Pelousy as her VP?

Answer 6

I think that is true. Clinton would need a stronger experienced VP to counter the problems that she might face in the election. Ideal candidate would be Colin Powell. He has experience and perceived honesty. He may not want it if he does not agree with Clinton's politics. But he would be the ideal candidate.

Answer 7

What better way for Hillary to pander to the voters and at the same time keep Obama muzzled than to name him as her Vice President?

Joe Biden isn't "the answer", but he's a better choice than either of them, so maybe that's the best answer you've got. Here we go again, the least of three evils.

Thank you, "Phil McCrevice". My next investment is probably Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, since our stupid fellow Americans are all busy defaulting on their loans and throwing the American lenders into bankruptcy.

Answer 8

No, I don't think Obama will be her running mate as of now, especially after the attacks. I think Hilary will win the Democratic nomination (hopefully), but I would like to see her pick John Edwards. I know he wasn't successful with John Kerry, but I think they would be an awesome duo.

Answer 9

I can see Obama runnig as an independent before I see him running wih hillary. What if we could get Obama and Ron Paul on the same ticket, talk about a political orgasm.

Answer 10

This country led by any of the Democratic candidates is on it's way into socialism and decay.

Better start moving all your money to offshore accounts like the smarter Democrats in Congress already have.
