Comments on: Can Obama Win Without Clinton Democrats? http://www.thehollywoodliberal.com/2008/05/26/can-obama-win-without-clinton-democrats/ A Hollywood Tradition Since 2004 Tue, 22 May 2012 17:16:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Mark http://www.thehollywoodliberal.com/2008/05/26/can-obama-win-without-clinton-democrats/#comment-121630 Mark Thu, 29 May 2008 00:52:38 +0000 http://www.thehollywoodliberal.com/2008/05/26/can-obama-win-without-clinton-democrats/#comment-121630 I think she would offer it to him and since she is not as likely to run again after this, and since I highly doubt her supporters will back him even if she is vp, the party would do well to look at the bigger picture. Obama is less qualified, is only 46 years old and has a lot to learn about "unity" Really the DNC mucked this entire thing up running him against her right now and they deserve what they get. They have been stellar at risking the White House by setting up the one candidate who cannot take it to win in the primary!! If Howard Dean had a single brain cell left in his head he would get them both in a room, make her the nominee with him as vp and in so doing give us a SIXTEEN YEAR run at the White House. Everyone would be on the same page for that entire time. It would take that long to clean up this mess anyway. This way, I really am fairly sure there is going to be hell to pay. Obama will likely be crowned as Brazile wanted since 2004. Hillary supporters not feeling heard about many matters that have really angered them, mainly the party favoring one candidate over the other in this historic run for the nomination will likely walk. The party would do better to understand and validate their position. The less people feel heard and understood the more they will dig in their heels. Howard Dean actually said this has been good for the party. Nooo, it hasn't. It won't be. And it has NOTHING to do with who gets out. Neither candidate has to "get out" this IS the closest race we've ever had. It's within the rules and proper and probably MORE appeasing for it to go to the convention. If it doesn't then Dean should get them both on the same ticket but, the SMART way is to have Clinton as the nominee with Obama as her running mate and if they don't do it that way then I can only conclude they do not give a damn about taking back the White House.

Howard Dean actually said this has been good for the party. Nooo, it hasn’t. It won’t be. And it has NOTHING to do with who gets out. Neither candidate has to “get out” this IS the closest race we’ve ever had. It’s within the rules and proper and probably MORE appeasing for it to go to the convention. If it doesn’t then Dean should get them both on the same ticket but, the SMART way is to have Clinton as the nominee with Obama as her running mate and if they don’t do it that way then I can only conclude they do not give a damn about taking back the White House.
