Count me among the 40% of Dem women who do not favor HRC as VP.

Obama can do better. If he wants her, ok. But not me!

Too funny, we've had 10 or more posts about clinton being pushed as vp or polls show she should be vp or whatever about her being vp and you still have to slid in a couple of paragraphs about her being vp. We get it, we get it. Comeon gregg, are you married to a clinton relative or something?

Those being visited are NOT potential choices

Quite a few on the Hill are hoping right now they're not visited. I hope, the search team visits Hillary for her invaluable advice.

Seriously, we're in General Election mode now. The question should be "Would you vote for an Obama/Clinton ticket?" and they should not just ask Democrats.

Obama's team is asking for input....another good move! They are going about this right and certainly are not responding to any pressure. They are just amazing!

Another "interesting dimension", Greg, would be:

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE ON THE VP SELECTION COMMITTEE & WHAT DOES OBAMA CHOOSING THEM MEAN FOR HIS PROCESS?

I'm betting that Obama and his VP-Vetters won't be pushed into a decision by anyone. They'll do the numbers, sure, but my money is on the notion that he will choose someone who he really likes. Just seems like that kind of guy...

Move on Greg... Move on...

You know as well as anyone... VOTERS don't vote for the VP -- it is up to the nominee...

You seem to be getting a little obsessed with her. Her campaign is over -- you really don't have to keep trolling for news on her behalf.

She's broke -- why don't you start looking into stories of those who haven't being paid - eh?

Another "interesting dimension", Greg, would be:

NOT A SINGLE MENTION OF HILLARY CLINTON IN THE ACTUAL QUOTE.

Ok, who the hell did they poll, Frog Legs? If they polled all us registered Democratic women, how come they missed me?

This doesn't make any sense at all.

But whatever.

Johnson, Holder, and Kennedy are not "the team tasked to find Obama the right veep."

They comprise the 3-member leadership team for the larger VP selection committee.

The list of those who are serving on the whole committee -- a list which likely includes names like Tom Daschle, Valerie Jarrett, and Steve Hildebrand -- has yet to be published.

all this talk of Clinton for VP is just silliness

whatever her merits, there's all the negative baggage that goes along with her, and Obama just ain't gonna chose her. Impossible (as much as "impossibility" is a possibility in this world)

p.s. I have to say I'm amused that for all those uber-Clintonistas out there pushing this ridiculous scenario it's now ok to latch the Clinton wagon to Obama when for months he was the distinctly "inferior" candidate. But hey, if it helps them reconcile themselves to Obama, that's ok. I do wish that they wouldn't make such a show of it. Just another part of the never-ending drama that always attends the Clintons ...

damn...I forgot to propose tena!

No Mark that isn't what I said.

But fine points aren't your strong suit.

My point is that the results are reported baldly as X% of "Registered Democrats" which is not possible if they didn't poll all of us.

Remember all those spring 2007 name-recognition polls, asking Democrats who they wanted to be the nominee, when the candidates had barely started campaigning.

That's how much this shitty CNN/Vin Gupta poll is worth.

Of course, they're going to say Hillary Clinton for VP. That's who they know best -- not least, because the MSM has been pushing her down their throat forever. They knew her best in spring 2007, too, and, granted, that got her pretty far. But it didn't get her the nomination.

Honestly -- how many randomly canvassed Democrats do you think have even heard of Kathleen Sebelius or Brian Schweitzer, or Sherrod Brown, much less are in a position to judge whether one of those often-mentioned names might be a better match for Obama and thus a better VP for the country?

Shame on you for even mentioning this shitty poll.

I'm tired of all the Hillary obsession by TPM today.

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary the VP?, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Obama, Hillary.

Just shut up about Hillary already. Let's move on.

You know, if these Hillary supporters had any sense at all, since Hillary won't be president, they would want her in the Senate.

She can do alot more for women and the working class as a senior, high-profile legislator on their behalf, rather than stuck in a largely ceremonial position suborindate to someone who justifiably doesn't trust her to keep his administration's priorities her own.

Hopefully, as she fades from the spotlight, people's perspectives will align with common sense, and this Hillary for VP idea will go gently into that good night.

Hagel
Webb
Biden

In no paticular order. Each has specific strengths that would enhance (a lot) areas where the GOP will hit Barak with, and (more importantly) the cooperative leadership for the next eight years will be inspiring.

You know what kind of shit they are going to have to clean-up ???!!! This will be a long, tough haul these first couple of years. But, the results are gonna blow us all away ! ( in a real, real good way !! )

Chuck Hagel could be a good choice. He is very critical of McBushSame

Several governors: Schweitzer, Kaine, Sebelius, Richardson, Rendell, Ohio governor.

Other: Sam Nunn, Tim Webb, john Edwards,

Military: Wes Clark

Independent: Bloomberg -

I hope so that the media will give it a rest for now. I am sure Senator Obama will make the right decision in due time.

I'm shocked that none of you have mentioned the obvious choice: Geraldine Ferraro.

Oh please, NO. This on the CNN website just now.

iReporter David Dunmeyer of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, believes Clinton is the "only choice" for the vice presidential nomination and is willing to vote for McCain if she is not on the Democratic ticket.

Wayne Phillips of Concord, California, is really against the idea of an Obama-Clinton ticket as well. "Hillary may be competent, but we can all agree that she would not be loyal to President Obama." So who would Phillips like to see instead? "Here's a hint. Vice President Webb," he said, referring to Virginia Sen. Jim Webb.

WAS Hillary EVER going to get behind Obama?

Unlikely - not when she can whip her loyalist into another frenzy of self-serving stewardship and full-out blackmail? But now we are all sure that Hillary doesn't have a problem with that comment, doesn't mind it ONE BIT. Hillary will take all the Harold Ickes she can get, NO Party Unity EVER need apply. Hillary doesn't care about the Democratic Party and is quite willing burn it if she for her own self-serving purposes.

Picking Hillary really isn't "Change You Can Believe In." How do you like them apples Obama? Because I don't, I don't like it one bit.

I think I'm warming up to Senator Webb now. Just not another self-serving congresswoman who is everybit as self-centered as Bush and Cheney ever were. I've had enough of that kind of politican.

No chance with Webb. Hillary's rallying all second-wave feminists and Obama having to bring them back into the fold means Webb is a no-go. I believe most of these Clinton supporters will come around when they take a good look at John McCain and his policies, however picking Senator Webb as VP would really be rubbing salt in their wounds.

I guess one theory would be that these women would just not vote, whereas with Webb you could steal away McCain voters (making it a double whammy of sorts, one less for him and one more for you sorta deal).

In reality though, it won't be Webb. Hillary made sure of that. He's probably better off left in the Senate and maybe campaigning for Obama in small doses in strategic areas.

Obama needs a working-class, Jewish Latina over 60, with executive and military experience.
