39. Absolutely
Even if she wins the nomination, she's going back to the Senate.

29. If she dies in office,
we won't have to waste money reprinting the foreign policy papers, nor the majority of the domestic ones.

Just being practical.

4. she'll listen the 'wisdom' of the pundicracy that's she's somehow too liberal
and will pick some Harold Ford/Lieberman-esque type to moderate her even further to the right.

12. Clark is more likely than Vilsack.
But it will be Richardson.

She'll need the SW

17. She would select Vilsack or Bayh ----


Although I'm still guessing Clint-Sack '08 if she gets in.

General Clark is not a DLC'er --- besides Villy was likely promised the gig when he dropped out early on and was the first to jump on the S.S. Clinton.


"I love the DLC more than this...."

30. Vilsack
The moment she came to town for a meeting with him.....then his subsequent dropping out. If he delivers Iowa....he's in

21. the title to the OP is too taunting and arrogant to take seriously
it is rude to supporters of all other candidates, but frankly i expect no less from that camp.

Let's face it, who on earth wouldn't want to be the Goddess of Peace's vice president? :smoke:

Hillary must be pretty good...so many people hate her. Dunno for what and I don't believe they know wny either.

40. If she wins the nomination in Denver, I'd expect
General Clark to be on her list of considerations, as well as Gov. Richardson.

Also she might tap Evan Bayh, Tom Vilsack, Tom Daschle, Dick Gephardt, John Breaux.

44. For one thing, it's the ENERGIZER bunny
And if that's supposed to be an insult, I have no problem with a candidate who "keeps going and going and going" as long as he's going in the proper direction. Which Dennis is.

And DLC'ers like Hillary are not.

49. Glad you did this because I think we need to concentrate on VP'dom ----
It's much more powerful a position than ever before, even if only simply because it makes the VP
kind of a designated candidate for the next round --- don't like it and think we should life
term limits on president -- NOT UNTIL BUSH LEAVES, HOWEVER --- !!!
