abc006 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 First was Obama, second Obama, Kucinich, and (grudgingly) Gravel. In the second one, the USA Today one, I agreed with pretty much everything Kucinich said and disagreed with everything Fred Thompson said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meteamo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 From the answers on both sites, it seems that Hillary and Obama have mostly the same points. Who would be Obama's VP candidate if nominated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would be Obama's VP candidate if nominated?That brings up an interesting question. It would be very surprising if the winner, Obama or Clinton, chose the other as their running mate. I know Obama has expressed that he doesn't want to be Vice President, but I'm not sure about Hillary. Edwards would be first thought for both of them, but it's probably a question of whether Edwards wants to run or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can toss the idea of a "dream ticket" out the window... ...Obama would never take Clinton as a VP because his entire platform is "change" - making Hillary his VP would be the opposite of change, since Mr. Hillary (lol) was pres. ...Obama would also not accept being the VP on Clinton's card, because we ALL know where the REAL descision making power would rest that is normally reserved for the VP... that would be with the "First Husband"... former Pres Bill Clinton. So, no matter how you mix/match it, Clinton and Obama aren't going to end up on the same card, unless Obama abandons his platform of change or agrees to be a pointless fixture that holds no real sway whatsoever, in an administration that rejects some of his most important ideals.

What better way to unite the Democratic party than to have both on the same ticket. The same reason McCain will add the nut to the republican ticket, he can get the bible bet voters. Only states McCain has won are one they will go blue in the general election, he has to do something. And no I do not want to see an Obama/Hillary ticket, I would like to see an Obama/Clark ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I like the thought of Clark sweeping down out of the blue to steal the VP nomination from someone. I'd like to see Obama/Edwards myself. Here's another one: http://www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com/ Got Obama on this one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meteamo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Who's Clark? Do you mean Wesley Clark? And what about Edwards or Richardson as the Dem. VP? Here's another one: http://www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com/ Got Obama on this one too. Hillary 23 ... Obama 20 BTW ... Not a lot of people may know of her but the Governor of Alaska ... Sarah Palin ... may actually be a good choice for Republican VP Candidate if not this time than perhaps next time. She has a lot of experience and a good track record. She [may actually / should] be the first female President ... that is, if Hillary doesn't win. She has way more experience than Hillary too. In case if anyone is interested: 1. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin Homepage 2. Sarah Palin on Wikipedia 3. Draft Sarah Palin for VP - blogspot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meteamo Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 2 terms on City Council, one year as appointed commissioner on the Alaska's Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (which she quit) and being Governor since 2006 is "way more experience"?? She is also a two term Mayor and Manager and was elected President of the Alaska conference of Mayors. As far as the Commission is concerned, she served two years and she resigned because of the lack of ethics of her fellow republicans. In order to win the governorship, she defeated the incumbent in the primaries and defeated former governor in the general state election. Her approval ratings as governor were high. But unfortunately, she doesn't have the name recognition or the machine as many other people. "I can't imagine anyone that I can think of right now who would be more appealing as a vice presidential candidate," Longtime White House correspondent and Baltimore radio commentator Lester Kinsolving said. "What helps her obviously is that she's a woman, she's attractive, she's a conservative, she has a strong record of integrity, she's a spending-cutter, she's not a tax-raiser, and those things obviously would help," Fred Barnes, a regular talking head on Fox News and co-host of The Beltway Boys. There is a reason why Presidents are either usually Presidents who run again, Vice Presidents, War Heroes and Governors. The last so-odd Presidents were Governors. Governors need to work for the good of the state and not just their own people in their district and so forth. Governors need to balance a budget and work with both sides of the State Senate. The job of governor is the closest to that of the President except on a smaller scale. This is one of the reasons why this election will be special ... because the next President will most likely be a Senator and not one of the aforementioned four (former President, Vice President, War Hero, Governor). And as far as the experience factor, she does have more experience than Hillary. This is not to say Hillary won't be nominated or elected which I think there's a good chance. But, all I wanted to point out is someone that not many people have heard of before. Another possibility would be Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Anyway, back on topic ... what will happen to Romney and Edward's Delagates? And I think especially with his speech, I think Mitt may be trying to set himself up for the next election in 4 years. One of the things you need is name recognition. That's what Hillary, Obama, Edwards and McCain have. Until now, Romney did not. Next time, he will. Personally, I want Bloomberg ... but that is if he gets involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaptorQuiz Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 This is really clever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fZHou18Cdk Very nice. We all know Obama is a fantastic speaker, and one that can easily bind a crowd together into an emotional frenzy. But that's a convention center full of people that already support him. Can he do that with a crowd the size of the United States, or the world - a crowd that all the members of which do NOT already support him? "Yes we can." If he's elected President (and first, he must earn his party's nomination)... I certainly hope that he can. It would be a shame if, even after all his positive talk, it ended up just that: More talking. It's ironic to see Ed Kowalczyk, the vocalist of (the band) Live, in that video. In the song "White, Discussion," the chorus is "Look where all this talking got us, baby." Clearly, as a Republican, I'm not an Obama supporter. But what I am, before Republican or Democrat, before anything else, is a supporter of the United States of America. If Obama DOES become president, I surely do wish that hope he has offered, is not the "false hope" he speaks of in the above video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
