Rendell: Obama ‘Rivals’ Reference No Accident

if obama is not man enough to put hillary on the ticket, then he is surely not man enough to deal with the world’s tough leaders who will test him. if hillary is not on the ticket, i walk to mccain, plain and simple

While your all running to support McCain out of spite why don’t you look at his advisers: Norman Podoretz Promoting war with Iran. Cofer Black Head of Blackwater, Charlie Black Blackwater. Bud McFarlane Iran contra. Robert Kagan, Bill Kristol, on record supporting invasion of Iraq before 911. And Henry Kissinger, the granddaddy of them all, father of Nixon’s failed foreign policy an WAR CRIMINIAL extrodinaire. If that is the company you are comfortable with McCain keeping, then your voting for WAR rather than a canidate. In other words you will vote for a BUSH 3rd term, rather than an alternative. Some Democrat. But the neo-CONS are all just liberals who believe in imperialism and further expansion of the far reaching empire that we no longer can afford. Who needs bullets when you can’t buy food with our worthless dollar and are evicted out of your home? Never matter, we have to bomb some brown people in order to be safe in our tent cites in public parks 5,000 miles away.

To all Dems who say they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination, go ahead. When your kids are dying in another war that we should not be in, will you still “support” your vote, or will you be the ones protesting another war and calling for McCain’s impeachment . All this because you didn’t like that Obama got the nomination. That’s just plain stupid. I am a Hillary supporter, but I know when the fight is lost. Once Obama gets the officail nod, I will be out to support him, just like I have supported Hillary.

Isn’t team of Rivals about including people from the opposite party in your cabinet? Chuck Hagel, Richard Lugar, Colin Powell, etc. Forget Hillary, she brings nothing good to his ticket. He certainly doesn’t need her to win or to make progress while in the White House.

It is true Obama knows exactly what he does say.
All his lies, all his misconceptions, misleading remarks to the people.
The stories he has made up, in order to make people believe he fits in and can make it seem like he can relate to them.
All for a vote. The Scam artist in action.
Saddly has dupped so many people.
He wants to conquer the world and rule.
Can’t put anything past anyone who throws their own grandmother that raised them under a train.

I sure hope he’s referring to Chuck Hagel, or at least referring to offering her some cabinet-level position that he knows she won’t accept, ’cause I don’t feel like holding my nose while I vote.

Uh,Roxanne…The Clintons made $109 mil over 7 years.Not last year.Bill being the larger earner. Could be because he was a past 2 term president. Just guessing.. Get your facts straight. Obama made a few mil himself from book sales. Why is that so shocking? Non issue.

This older white American male is planning on voting Obama.
Fewer and fewer regrets every day, seeing the kind of behavior that Mrs. Clinton and her supporters are capable of.
Obama may be inexperienced, but given the kind of “experience” that Washington offers — that may not be a bad thing.
Vote for Change — Obama ’08.

Russ,
Since you are an expert of the past, perhaps it would behoove you to go tell Bush/Cheney/McCain that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
Unfortunately, they do not have the insight, foresight, or hindsight to learn from Truman or Johnson, and neither do you.

The whole OBAMA team knows Hillary is radioactive and to keep a safe distance of such massive toxicity.
Plus, she blew any chances of that happening on Friday with her dumb a** comments about the Kennedy assassination.
WHAT A DUFUS MAXIMUS!
She’ll be home baking cookies in a week.
Bill will be at the Mustang Ranch dusting off and getting a checkup with the “head nurse”.
Chelsea will become a Nun.
That is all

He should put her on the ticket if he wants a large part of her base to vote for him. I love it when his supporters call Obama a man of high morals and integrity, insinuating he is far and above other politicians. He got his political start in Chicago, got elected 3 terms as a newcomer there for State Senate, and walked right into the U. S. Senate. After serving only actually 18 months there before running for President, I don’t know how anyone can possibly think he has gotten this far by having high morals and integrity. Chicago political insiders just might have had a lot to do with it. He used Rev. Wright’s position to gain a political base, and then ditched him (publicly anyway) when the heat got too much. His morals and integrity are the same as any other politician I imagine, maybe a little more, and maybe a little less. It’s fine to support him, but don’t expect Clinton supporters to believe he is above reproach when it comes to personal integrity, that is just not realistic.

There is a clear disconnect between the “MYTH” that the Clintons were good for Democratic Party and Progressive causes and the true “LEGACY”. The evidence and facts do not lie. A progressive review illustrates clearly that the Clintons are Working Class Predators who deceive and manipulate the lower classes for votes. Hence WINNGING WITH A CLINTON IS LOSING.

obama has too much dirt?!! have you forgotten who he’s running against? hillary clinton. hello! obama could have dragged out soooo much dirt on her and bill yet he chose not to. whitewater, monicagate, vince foster, her naivety in believing bill regarding “that woman,” susan mcdougal, lani guinier need i go on? because i could. her failed attempt at passing her healthcare plan, illegal access to fbi files…

All Obama has to do is win every state Kerry won and pick up Iowa, Colorada, and either New Mexico or Nevada he’s going to do that with or without Clinton, but perhaps to make sure McCain can’t play total offense in Michigan (with Romney) or Florida (with Criss) and go unapposed in Missouri and pick a fight in Pennsylvania, Obama should pick Clinton. I do think a Clinton on the ticket could make Colorado tough but Bill could maybe sure up Pennsylvania and Ohio. Let’s face it people aren’t voting for Hillary they’re voting for Bill.

i might add, i was a staunch clinton supporter until bill started playing dirty and her following suit soon after. i’d love to be able to cast my vote for the first female president. she’s making it harder and harder to do so.
as for obama naming hillary as his running mate should he be the nominee; after her latest faux pas regarding “anything could happen,” which she’s made at least twice, how can he put her on the ticket without the constant worry of looking over his shoulder? i wouldn’t do it. i’d be too afraid. you shouldn’t have to fear your running mate.

It would be a step down for Hillary to accept the VP nod, if it were even offered. Obama was able to capitalize on her leadership in the debates, and it was obvious that she was so much more knowledgeable on all of the issues. Why would she be content to officiate in the Senate, or take a backseat doing menial activities if she were even given any. She is the one who has worked on so many issues her entire life. This whole campaign is a joke on the American people.
She has a future of her own worthy of her intelligence, knowledge, and experience. She does not need to prop him up in anyway. Let him bluff his way forward. He cannot win the GE.

Hillary on the Ticket would be a profound error in judgment on Obama’s part. She is a millstone and would be a magnet for republicans to get out the vote and an anathema to Independents.

texas voter- from one yellow rose to another, regarding sebelius i totally concur.

I am a strong Clinton supporter, but I have to be honest – I don’t think I could vote for an Obama / Clinton ticket.
I cannot force myself to vote for Obama – it is very serious for me. I just don’t think I can vote for obama under any circumstances.
It is a matter of principle – a vote would be saying I agree with him, and I don’t. I will have to vote for the country/not the party on this one.

Dems & Independents, the more we are learning of McCain, the more reason we have to stay united. Hillary, Obama, Gore, Bobo the Clown, who cares, as long as it’s not McCain. A vote for McCain is a vote for the status quo.
Anyone who would vote for Obama or Hillary in the primary but for McCain in the general is voting on pure emotion. I know how you feel. The way things in this country have gone for the last 7 years, it’s hard not to get emotional. But think of the incredibly long list of Bush actions that have been absolutely horrible: Abu Graib, Iraq war, stem cells, extreme conservative justices (almost enough to reverse Roe), Katrina, tax cuts that increase income disparity, federal deficit, no-bid contracts in Iraq and for Medicaid drugs, bankruptcy restrictions, broadened definition of “manager” to reduce those eligibible for overtime pay, wallstreet bailouts, privatize social security, no action on healthcare, and on and on and on.
McCain is the opposite of Obama and Hillary. Obama supporters – shut up about FL and MI. This is politics, not a court of law. If Hillary can convince that FL and MI count, lump it. Hillary supporters – take a careful look at Obama’s campaign proper, which has hardly at all attacked Hillary. Don’t confuse obnoxious bloggers with Obama’s official campaign.
Stay united for Roe, for the vets, for the boys and girls who want to come home from Iraq (and some of whom would rather be in Afghanistan), for the uninsured, for the Katrina-homeless, for those with slowly eroding benefits, for all the people who have suffered through the wretched destruction of our nation’s reputation by the Bush propaganda cowboy.
On Nov. 4, let’s be able to say “Mission Accomplished” by voting the GOP out of Washington.

It makes me sad to see so many Hillary supporters ready to willingly vote for McCain if Obama wins the nomination.
If you CLAIM to believe in the things Hillary stands for, then there is no way in HELL you should ever even consider voting for McCain come this November. This goes for Obama supporters, too.
Stop being immature American citizens and vote based on what you feel is best for AMERICA!! Not to spite Obama (or Hillary, if that is the case) for beating the other Democrat. Shame on those who do otherwise!
It is voters like you who got Bush re-elected in 2004, and it will be voters like you who will (God forbid) get McCain elected in 2008. Don’t let us make that mistake again!
As a fifteen-year old Floridian, I desperately NEED to see a Democrat in the White House next January!! This is my future you are gambling with. Use your sense. Hillary supporters and Obama supporters MUST unite against McCain, regardless of the outcome of this primary season!!!

If The DNC Strictly Applies The Rules, Obama Will Lose
A strict interpretation of the DNC Rules that follows the reasoning of the DNC Memo circulated today would require the following results:
A. The stripping of 50% of the delegates of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Michigan.
B. The full seating of the Florida delegation.
C. Should the DNC RBC reject the safe harbor provision for Florida, then Florida would have 50% of its delegations stripped, but Barack Obama would be entitled to no delegates from Florida due to his violation of Rule 20c.1.b. .
By my math, a strict interpretation of the DNC rules would result in a net gain of 80 or 89 pledged delegates for Clinton.

Hope Obama does not lower himself to put this woman on ticket. Lincoln might have had some fierce and respectable rivals, this one does not come close to that type of rival. If he wants to appease some of the woman supporters, there are woman who are better suited to be vice-presidents than her. Her achievement came as result was not a personal achievement. She got to be a Senator because she was jilted and humiliated by her husband. Before that she was just the wife of the President. She has not earned this the hard way as some woman have. So, she should be lucky that she got this far. Let her go back to the Senate that is quite an achievement for a woman who has not put in her dues.

Hillary is winning all. Only the uneducated can make these claims. If Hillary was that good she would have clinched the nomination in February.

Hillary does not have Richardson experience and she does not speak Spanish. Her racists followers will vote for McCain anyway, her non racists followers understand that she ran a poor campaign and she lost fair and square. They will vote for Obama-Richardson.

Sheila
I totally agree with you. I wonder who are those Hillary supporters that she refers to? I don’t think many are duped to their stories that they have towage a war because ‘Hillary was robbed of this’ except the delusional husband and some politcos.

Tuesday October 16, 2007 Hillary Clinton was leading Obama by 23 points in the polls among DEM’s http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/10/16/schneider.poll/index.html
She should present these polls to the undecided super delegates and use herself as the perfect example of the non reliability of the polls months ahead of the real vote.
She should point out that she is trailing by almost 200 delegates, number of states won, number of super delegates. She ran a very negative and low class campaign. She has been a very poor money manager. She owes more than $30 millions. She carries some heavy baggages (too many scandals). This why she thinks she is more electable.

It’s true, as an early blogger said, that many of us Obama supporters might have voted positively for Hillary. But that was before Obama proved his abilities. Obama is inspirational. He’s good to listen to and watch. He appeals to the spirit. Compare him and hillary as thinkers and as people. Obama’s speech has coherence. He has both intelligence and style. He is a superior human being. He is “likeable.” He is positive. He knows the constitution. He has ideals. He has restraint. His ambition is principled. He is poised. He does not make a virtue of ruthlessness. He has vision. He has taste. Truly, Hillary is NOT likeable enough.

Obama will likely pick 1) a strong HRC supporter or 2) HRC herself.
Dont worry, VP has no power and HRC will have be be on her hands and knees – just like monica – doing the master.

HRC should enjoy when Obama cums on her face.

DNC stop twisting the rules! FL & MI should be counted, as is!!! They were not the only dates of States that were moved, but because they go in Hillary’s favour, you block it!
SUPER DEL’S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS:
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/25/memo-to-superdelegates-3-obamas-coalition-is-a-losing-coalition/
HILLARY,ACCORDING TO GALLUP, IS THE ONLY ONE TO BEAT McCAIN!
SUPPORT HILLARY ALL THE WAY!!!
Hey Knucklehead.
The DNC warned these two states that they would be penalized long before the primaries were held in their respective states and they kept their dates the same anyway. That was BEFORE anyone knew Clinton would come out ahead. The only difference is if she had lost we wouldn’t be having these discussions.
And while I am typing… all of you who think the election is lost unless Mrs. Clinton is on the ticket in some capacity are delusional. The only way the republicans can win this year is if Clinton is on the ticket. The one thing that gets all the republicans to the polls is Clinton. People can’t stand Clinton. The sound of her voice alone makes republicans want to eat babies.
Believe me I know. I am a Republican. I am voting for Obama… unless Clinton is on his ticket.

BO fanatics only deserve to have another empty suit on his crazy ticket. Hillary is much better for him.
No way!
There are many better things to do than mixing up with the person who dare to silent more than 2 million voters from FL and MI.
Let’s see how BO and company to screw up with his ignorance. The party deserves him and he deserves to be a clown.

Manchurian Candidate. That’s what Clinton is. And if you don’t get the reference, read the book or watch the movie.
He has little to gain and possibly everything to lose by putting Clinton herself on the ticket. Put a supporter like Rendell, Strickland, Feinstein, or Webb on the ticket.

NO WAY Hillary as VP. Cabinet member, yes! Ambassador, even better, then he could ship her (and Big Daddy) out of the country.

If Clinton is on the ticket, count me out, I am moving to Bosnia

Rewarding your enemies by being a heart beat away to the presidency has not been a healthy choice for nominees. In the two closely contested campaigns (Lincoln & Kennedy) that agreed to allow their rivals to be their Vice President were assassinated.

In these economic times of rising prices of food, gas, foreclosures, and jobs, does America need a president who is inspirational, a good speaker with flamboyant appeal who thinks they are more intelligence than the people they represent and a superior human being? Do America need a “likeable” president, who has no patriotism and has a show and tell exterior posturing but is a consistent liar; the only ideas brought forth belongs to someone else; no restraint and will back stab you while pretending friendship, well he threw grandma under the train; ambitious with underhanded principles, never in the company of more than one other black person, denies his black heritage; pretends to play nice but is really ruthlessness behind the scenes; the only vision is that of someone else, has no plans for change but talk change at every turn; a person who does not understand basic economics and think there are 57 states in the US, fifth grade geography. Well, American this is what you got in Obama and the Republican Party has set you up good.

Since all of your Hillary supporters have access to the internet you need to go read about some of her history. Then decide whether you want to blindly follow her. And any way she’s been riding her husband’s coat tails – she got to the senate on his name not hers. They’re obviously (to some of us) two different people and its obvious (to all us Obama supporters) that she will in no way run this country the same way her husband did – the way she ran her campaign tells it all. And regarding Michigan I read somewhere that there was a time limit for the candidates to take their name off the ballot and she was “late” getting it done. The Clinton supporters stating that they will vote for McCain if Clinton loses are/will be hurting everyone and everything American!! I believe she really wants McCain to win. I would also like to see a woman president one day, just not this time – Hillary it is not your turn!

I don’t get why there are women who are going to oppose Obama’s candidacy because he beat Clinton and he isn’t a woman.
I know Ferraro thinks he’s a sexist because he brushed his shoulders and said she was “likable enough” (please explain to me someone how she could possibly come up with this interpretation), but then a book comes out about McCain where he called his wife the “c” word in front of a bunch of aides and reporters and said she puts on her makeup like a trollup… I don’t think you need Ferraro’s dictionary of sexism to break that one down.
Also, James Carville said “if Hillary gave Obama one of her testicles, they’d both have two”. I cannot begin to point out how many things are sexist about this statement… but why do the same women denigrating Obama as sexist giving a Hillary supporter a pass on something that is so much more repulsive toward women than anything I have heard Obama say or do? He is basically saying you need testicles to be president and that Obama is too feminine for the job. I guess if Obama was more hostile toward Hillary, that would be more “manly” in Carville’s eyes, but he has been a total mensch.
