I lost so much respect for her by the way she ran her campaign--the disorganization, inconsistent messages, dirty politics, and the list goes on. If Clinton wants to be respected, she should learn to earn it. She had a perfect opportunity on Tuesday night to win the respect and admiration of the entire world, yet she chose to make the night about Hillary and then attempt to bully for the VP spot. She's too egotistical to be on an Obama ticket. Jack, I think Obama should send Clinton to her room with no dessert!

It would be a huge liability to the Party to offer Clinton as the VP candidate as she is such a powerful lightening rod taking focus off of Obama and his agenda. Her voters are not likely to move to McCain so what has the Democratic Party gained with her as his running mate? Can anyone believe that Clinton can be second fiddle to anyone? Can you imagine that she will be content with anything less than being "co-president"? It would be a collosal mistake. Obama should not fold and take on a running mate of his choice that will not chase voters away.

However, by the end of summer I think a lot of that will have died down and people will have already focused intently on the two Presidential candidates. We don't hear that much about Romney, Edwards or Huckabee anymore, let alone Giuliani, Thompson and Paul. I think Barack Obama should forget about a so-called "dream ticket" and select a running mate that will compliment him and shore up his weaknesses and give hope to the voters that they'll reverse the irresponsible foreign policy and fiscal inadequecies of the past 8 years. By the end of summer, many Hillary supporters will see the big picture and vote more with their minds and less with their emotions. Policy wise Hillary and Barack compliment each other, but I think many people will view the selection of Hillary as VP as a compromise in Obama's principles.

Hillary want's to be president and has not accepted her loss graciously. The Clinton camp is now trying to force his hand with their take her or else attitude. She said she wants to unite the party, the time for her to start the healing process was Tuesday night. I'm a middle class white 58 year old female and she didn't get my vote. Her attitude during last nights speech is just one of the reasons why! Obama needs a VP that will support him in the WH. Hillary want's to be president and has not accepted her loss graciously.

And you think she should be on the ticket. I am sure all the cable news stations, especially FOX, is going to show this ad over and over and over again. This is really a blow to the democratic party.
