I'm hearing a lot of discussions about Hilary possibly choosing Obama as her running mate. Do you think that her recent criticism of Obama's foreign policy tactics would hurt her chances of becoming president if she eventually asks Obama to be her running mate????

I don't think she wants Obama for her running mate. I know she has a high opinion of Evan Bayh. I don't think she'll choose any of the candidates if she wins the nomination. I could be wrong of course because she will want someone who will win more votes. Usually, the vice presidential choice does not have much to do with the outcome of the election.

Not a chance. If she has Senator Obama as a running mate she will win by an overwhelming majority.

Politicians say a lot of things. Most people don't pay attention until a week or so before the election. Hillary will probably win the Democratic nomination and go on to win the general election. Her chances with Obama are better than with most anyone else. He is smart, charismatic and can raise lots of money.

Both attract too much negativity, have poor decisions in thier senate records, and are inept at best for the task of running the country.
Gravel or Edwards should get the nod.

I don't see her picking Obama as a running mate. I think between now and the primaries there will probably be more mud thrown between the two.

If Hillary gets the nomination I am betting that she chooses Bill Richardson as her VP.

Edwards is the best person for the top job
and
if he can't win it, she'd be wise to select him, as he has no polorizing atributes and should be more able to work with opposition party, if any are even elected after what Bush has done.
I'm sure that come election time, republicans (that want re-election) will separate themselves distincly from Bush.

After her accepting money from the health care industry, and mysteriously failing to make Universal Health Care work in America, I fear she is as bad as a conservative or worse.
She should not run for President.
Thank you Michael Moore for enlightening us on Hillary.

Picking him as her #2 is just wishful thinking.. there is nothing to substantiate this yet.
But no.. it won't hurt it at all.. those who agree will still vote for her.. and those that don't because they like Obama will still vote for him as part of the bundle.

Not gonna happen. Obama will do one of two things. (if indeed, he's not the democratic nominee for pres) One, return to the senate. Two, run for governor. I'd prefer he run for governor, then set himself up for another run in 8 years.
