What will happen with Hillary?

What is going to happen with Hillary at the convention?

I have heard that there is going to be a "ceremonial" vote of the electoral delegates - and we all know that the superdelegates are needed to break the tie.

I have not heard that Hillary has released her delegates to Obama. She wants every voice to be heard, and every vote to count, blah, blah, blah.

Prior to Friday, there had been a great deal of speculation about presumed nominee Obama selecting HRC as his running mate. Now we know that not only did he not select her, but did not make the first move to even consider her.

Is he going to toss her a bone? Is he going to toss her under the bus? (It's getting crowded under Obama's bus) Is he going to ignore her? Is he going to politely acknowledge her and then forget about her?

Rats!

I forgot to include as a choice the option that she is killed by a farmhouse falling out of the sky and landing on top of her.

Re: What will happen with Hillary?

Actually some of the talk show pundits on both liberal and conservative radio programs have repeatedly mentioned that perhaps the Democrat Party will "Toss her a bone" of being the next Gubernatorial candidate of their party in the state of New York. Evidently THAT position holds a lot more prestige than merely being a senator.

I can see that. She is popular in the state and could probably pull that off (being elected that is)

One thing that is a realistic plus in the Clintons favour (And I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM SAYING THIS!!!!!) Is that they DO have a very good quality, at least as far as I am concerned. And that lies in their absence of internal convictions, they are noted for their constant polling or "finger in the wind" methods. Always fluctuating their positions with a view to what registers or resonates with the voters. And after all, isn't that what we REALLY want? Elected officials who LOOK to the will of their constituency before enacting policies?

Yeah I can see "Governor Clinton" And who knows, that would certainly be a major springboard toward a run in the NEXT election or the election after that!

If McCain can be running at 72 years of age, Hillaroo will ONLY be 68 - 69 years old.

Of course being Governor of the state of New York puts her in the company of four former president who went from that position (Governor) to President.
Martin Van Buren
Grover Cleveland
Theodore Roosevelt
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Not a shabby post by any means.

Such a good question....I surely don't know the answer. The only thing I am confident of is DON'T EVER COUNT THE CLINTON'S OUT!

I was surprised that Obama chose Biden. I was hoping he would because Biden doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut and he seems a bit of a wild card when you just want to quietly wait for election day. How quickly everyone has forgotten the bigot Biden...

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Talking about BHO

And this one...

"You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."

If a republican had said those things they would have run him out of town, a liberal Democrat says it and they make him the VP candidate.

my friend, Barak Obama has the power to absolve Biden of any racial guilt. He has done so therefore it no longer matters...


just has Bidens clear plagerism. It still doesnt matter, Barak Obama will have to get caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl to lose this election


(Note, the above insensitive comment is a quote from noted Louisiana liberal Democrat Edwin Edwards when talking about his own chances of losing an election)

Take heart my compadres!

Read this essay about the diminishing fooling power of the media. If the American people were truly swallowing this obviously concerted propaganda campaign, Obama's polling numbers would have him 15 or 20 points in the lead.

Come election day, he'll be gone!
