I do NOT want her to be his VP (and I do not want HIM to be hers). Associating himself with her would just totally negate the message of his campaign. And I'm sure he's sharp enough, and true enough to his ideals, to know that.

YES! You're couldn't be more right and I agree especially about the part where you said that you believe he's true enough to his ideals that he wouldn't ask her his or be her Vice President. Either way, it wouldn't be a pleasant pairing. He's straight up but willing to compromise and she's not. She just wants 'yes men' on her team. Also, I think that her mentions/hints of pairing up in the general election is just a ploy to get people to believe she's one of the good guys. Either that or she's willing to get her hooks into a high government position, no matter what...even if she has to 'settle' for Second-in Command.

Also, were something to happen to him, God forbid, we'd end up with her as president anyway--and that's exactly what we don't want.

Anyway, I think she's too stubbornly set on the #1 position to truly consider being his VP. I agree, that was probably just a ploy designed to ride on the coattails of his superior message and genuine appeal.

Obama with no Hillary in sight! I totally agree with Jude c & indielove! That's exactly what I keep telling my husband, who wants Obama, but thinks he will chose her as VP. I just don't see it.

Whoo hoo! Thanks for voting, robinesque. I think she'd be the last person on his list to ask. Her little hints won't work.

Keep her away!

Keep her away...keep her at bay!

I voted Clinton/Obama. However I don't think he would accomplish much. He hasn't done much in the Senate and I don't expect him to do much IF he were to become President. As a citizen of Illinois I am was really upset he hadn't worked harder for my state after we elected him. Instead he runs directly for President after hardly being in the Senate. I want the candidate with the experience and the person who has actually ACHIEVED just as many goals as she may have failed them. I want a person of action. I want someone who is committed to a cause.

I assumed this site has mostly women members. I am shocked that more of you are not all for having a woman as president. Hillary has the experience. I believe that she knows what she is doing and I am all for having a women as president. It seems like too many girls are too busy trying to knock other girls than to see the big picture. People listen to the media too much, everything they say is not always factual.

I am DEFINITELY NOT voting for someone 'just because' we both have a vagina.

And as I've said before, Hillary supporters need to erase the word 'experience' from their vocabulary. Usage of that word without facts to back up such a claim is invalid.

Clicious: Like you said, people listen to the media too much, EVERYTHING they say ISN'T factual.

I would absolutely love to have a woman president. But I will not vote for a woman just because she is a woman, as indie said. The woman in question needs to not be a politician whose record is rife with fundraising and financial corruption, secrecy on said financial doings. She needs to not have gotten to where she was riding on the coattails of her husband, nor to be touting "experience" in the White House when the experience benefitsher, then distancing herself from other things done in her husband's White House when they don't serve her. She needs to be a politician who doesn't play by the dirty politics of personal smears and outright lies.

Were Hillary a different woman, perhaps I might vote for her. But I'm not voting for her despite all that I oppose in her, just because she's a woman. I think we should all be more educated in our choices than simply picking a candidate based on gender.

"I think we should all be more educated in our choices than simply picking a candidate based on gender."

OR race.

I agree with everything you said, Jude.

I think Obama should be president. I am under the weather right now, so I can't articulate why, because there are just so many, many reasons.

And I don't think a candidates gender should matter when making this decision. It is the ultimate un-feminist thing to do, to vote for someone because they share your gender. Feminism is about equality, not bias. I do think women should be more involved in politics, but Hillary has shown so many reasons why she should not be president. She has told MASSIVE lies recently, and I just do not trust her at all. If she lies to voters during a campaign, who is to say she wouldn't lie to citizens when she is president?

"Feminism is about equality, not bias."

Perfectly put, Jillness
