Bookmark this thread... If she isn't the pick I'll paypal EarlG, Skinner and Elad a shiny new 100 dollar bill.

Be sure to call me on it if I'm wrong! But I won't be!

[Liberal Veteran]

1. Don't see that happening.

Kerry is far too savvy a politician to hook himself up to the Clinton anchor.

[Walt Starr]

2. Yup, picking Hillary would insure every cockroach in the country

would crawl out of its hole in order to vote for Bush.

[lancdem]

4. Absolutely

[StayOutTheBushes]

3. Why are you so sure?

[trumad]

13. A hunch and nothing more

The world is a crazy ass place and things that are crazy are coming at a very fast pace.... This would stun the political world and would be a blast to watch play out....

[tom_paine]

26. I'm sure DU appreciates the donation

Dude, you are one crazy Freeper!

(you're never going to let me live downbeing April Fooled by you so I might as well join the fun!)

:evilgrin:

[wuushew]

5. Bookmarking now

I hope you like the taste of crow.

[VolcanoJen]

6. Bookmarked, Trumad!

:D :D :D

[Commendatori]

7. I'm sure they'll take two fifties or five twenties, just have them ready

This is a trial balloon, and it will go down like lead. If Hillary is the VP choice, the Repugs will have 90% voter turnout and we'll get crushed.

Not only am I convinced you're wrong, I hope to God you're wrong.

[Catherine Vincent]

8. That's not so brave. You're probably loaded!

:-)

[trumad]

10. LOL

on what?

[Zinfandel]

9. Not a fucking chance, a recipe for a big loss in the swing states...

for Kerry. No fucking way is Hillary Clinton a huge asset outside of New York, California and a few other big cities.

Having Hillary as Kerry's VP is guaranteeing a victory for Bush four more years (at least).

[trumad]

11. All right...you'll see....

[Zinfandel]

20. I used to love Hillary mainly because the righ-wing hated her so...No more

the more I know about her the more I despise her and her support for the war, etc...

I'm an extremely liberal democrat, always have been, and I'll vote for Kerry, but I won't if he has Hillary who is/was on Wal-Mart's board and five other piggy corporations while at the "Rose Law Firm."

I'll just write in some other Democrats name on election day if Kerry is foolish enough to have Hillary as his VP!!!!

[RC]

28. Pssst!

The new word is cheney. fuck is so last week.

[sendero]

34. Yeah...

... but fuck has such a nice ring to it. The verb sounds just like what it is! There are few more versatile words in the english language. Cheney sounds lame. Whereas fuck sounds stiff, erect if you will, Cheney sounds limp, almost noodle-like.

I'll stick with fuck be it last week or last century :)

[BlueEyedSon]

12. Can I get some of that action too?

:)

[trumad]

14. Sure...

If I'm right you'll have to donate 25 bucks to DU...How about that?

[BlueEyedSon]

17. I was hoping to be on the RECEIVING end....

:)

[trumad]

18. Ouch

[BlueEyedSon]

19. Uh... of cash (sorry I wasn't specific in my prior post).

I'm broke and I just ponied up 100 bucks for Captain K.

[trumad]

22. LOL

I got ya....;-)

[Beetwasher]

15. I'm In! Ten Bucks From Me To DU If You're Right!

n/t

[trumad]

16. cool... my own little DU fundraiser....

[NoodleBoy]

21. reminds me....

Burns: You know Smithers, I think I'll donate a million dollars to the local orphange . . . When pigs fly. (Both laugh as an airborne pig suddenly "flys" by, having been ejected from the Simpsons BBQ.)
Smithers: Will you be donating that million dollars now sir?
Burns: Mm . . . No I'd still prefer not.


just messing with you dude.

[trumad]

23. I will get an admins to verify that I did donate...

at least I hope they will....

[JohnLocke]

24. I will donate 100 bucks to DU if Hillary IS Kerry's VP choice.

[gratuitous]

25. C'mon, you wuss!

Put your pastrami where your mouth is!

Mmmmmm, ill-gotten pastrami. {Wauuuuuuuuuggghh}

[chiburb]

27. Hey Trumad!

I'm with you. Just got finished telling someone that my gut says HRC for Veep.
I'm in for a $100 too!

[ursacorwin]

30. you people are crazy!

but i'm tempted to make you look silly and join in on the fun...where'd i put that spare franklin again? oh, that's right- i already sent to halliburton via the tax break i (poor woman) didn't get in the bush economy.

seriously though- 'just a feeling?' it's pretty counter to what ~90% of what i've read says, and i read a lot of the lefty blogs daily. hillary is just too hot, if such a thing is possible, for this race.

[WI_DEM]

29. get ready to pay up

I honestly don't see it happening.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

31. Nope- here's just one reason why:

She'd turn nearly every fence sitter away from Kerry.

32. but drudge says ...

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED JUNE 30, 2004 11:18:25 ET XXXXX

VICE PRESIDENT HILLARY; SPECULATION INTENSIFIES IN WASHINGTON

Official Washington and the entire press corps will be rocked when Hillary Rodham Clinton is picked as Kerry's VP and a massive love fest will begin!

So predicts a top Washington insider, who spoke to the DRUDGE REPORT on condition he not be named.

"All the signs point in her direction," said the insider, one of the most influential and well-placed in the nation's capital. "It is the solution to every Kerry problem."

MORE

"There are three issues that this campaign will be decided on -- national security, health care, and the economy, not necessarily in that order."

"Kerry believes that no one is better on national security than he is, he served in Vietnam after all, so he has that covered and the suggestion that he needs to strengthen the ticket with someone who has national security credentials is dismissed as foolish."

The insider continues: "The Democrats feel like health care is the domestic issue. But how to make it the dominant topic of conversation -- break through war and terrorism? Hillary Clinton. She catapults it out front with her commission. She tried to provide health care before and the Republicans in congress attacked her and her husband and used a bunch of scandals dirty tricks to stop it, we know they are scandals and dirty tricks because the former president book says so. So now you have the number two person on the ticket who is a 'health care expert' and what will Republicans do? Attack on health care pointing to her commission saying that it was government medicine. Her response -- it wasn't, and the Republicans are a bunch of dirty tricksters, "Liars and Crooks," as Kerry calls them, and its been too long and Democrats wont let the Republicans do it to them again. By the way, it puts prescription drugs on the back burner, the Republicans health care ace. You will have a fully engaged national debate on health care from now until the election."

MORE

"The Democrats economic plan is to say Bush sucks, it's never enough, we must get back to the Clinton Era when 22 million jobs were created. You can't do much better at making that point then-- Kerry/Clinton 2004.

"But what about impeachment and Monica -- wont that overshadow her being picked? It' now been covered in the book. Not only that, but she is a women scorned who has dealt with what so many American women deal with and stuck it out to keep her family together. And Whitewater? It's in the book. Vince Foster? Book. Billing records, White House travel Office? Book, book. All have been covered. All Republican slime tactics.

"Why would Kerry make such a public spectacle about trying to get John Mccain, wont whoever you pick be considered a second choice. Not if it is Hillary!

"There are differences of opinion about how this election will be won but one school says its all about the base. Republicans are bumping up against the ceiling with support from their base and Democrats are sitting on the floor. This would change that.

"Official Washington and national media will fall in love with the idea immediately letting Kerry/Clinton dominate the news through July and up to the Republican convention. She will say she is doing it for the good of the country. I am convinced this is going to happen."

MORE

"But what Hillary about having to wait to run for president? If Bush wins then she is the nominee for 2008 because it will be all Kerry's fault. If she wins she is the first woman VP of the United States, which would help her become the first woman president of the U.S. It would be historic in its own right and change the nature of politics in this country, and mark her place in the history books for ever-- a different history than her husbands."

Developing...

[TankLV]

33. I would bet my life and entire worthly belongings that it would be more

likely that Kerry will pick bunkerboy to be his running mate!

Ain't gonna happen.

Never.

Nada. Zilch. Zippo.

She's too polarizing a personality witht the bushbots.

He's gonna pick someone who can bring him MORE votes that he already has - not drive people to vote against Hillary.

[sendero]

35. Well...

... I don't think it will happen, nor do I think it would be the disaster so many here seem to think it would be.

Get out the puke vote? Like the hard-core is not going to be out anyway. More like get out the Dem vote by adding some (sadly) much-needed personality to the ticket.


Is this $100 coming out of your food or entertainment budget? :)

[seabeyond]

36. be a mistake

a lot of middle of road left dems for bush because of the clintons. as much as we may crave the old clinton smooth talker, there is a lot of not so good things, baggage on clinton too. not in hero worship here. and as much as i want a female in there and like hillary, though she sounds repug sometimes, there will be a lot of people swallowing hard going to vote kerry because bush is so bad. but if hillary was on ballot, they wont do it

[VOX]

37. I admire your sand, Trumad, but get ready to empty those pockets!

I agree with you 100% that the weirdness factor has been racheted way up in the past few months.

But I don't see Kerry making any wildly "creative" moves in the veep department.

[Oddman]

38. Hillary is number 36 on the list

only her nose will get picked!

[ThomWV]

39. And I Will Send $100 To Their Combined Campaign

I would support a Kerry/Clinton ticket in a heartbeat.

[trumad]

40. Yeee Hawwww

Everybody talks about the fence sitters going against this idea... I say Bullshit... I say the fence sitters would go kerry because of it.... Cheney the freepers! Do you really think that those who participate in the dumb ass forum are fence sitters.... LOL

[NewYorkerfromMass]

41. OK I'm now thinking something else about this

I have no doubt Bill Clinton helped engineer Kerry's primary victory.
Wes Clark was instrumental in defusing the rush to Dean.
Perhaps there was a deal?
Regardless, Clinton has long been a fan of Kerry. It makes sense form our perspective. It would be a heavy weight ticket for liberals- don't know about the swing states- could she get us Arkansas? Ohio?
I dunnno!
Let's talk!
