Edwards has already stated he would not accept a vp position. All of those you’ve mentioned are good choices but in considering the woman’s vote and the possibility in Hillary supporters feeling snubbed should she not get the vp nomination, I thought Caroline would be an affective way around that and keep everybody happy. Sadly I believe she won’t accept. But that sure would have been a dream team though, a real dream team.

I liked the suggestion of Caroline Kennedy for VP, although I think Obama has his own ideas as to where her guidance is needed.  Hillary may be given a position outside being a Senator, although she can be quite useful from her current position with a friendly President.

I think he should pick from a list including Edwards, Richardson, or Dodd.

I agree with most of what you’re saying, especially about taking care of us first. We’ve been neglected for far too long and those in charge don’t give a damn. I would like to point out that this current regime which is militarily imposing its will around the globe is in fact isolationist. It is acting unilaterally under a unitarian authority. There is no diplomacy. There is no rational discussions between us and the rest of the world. There is only George Bush and his my way or else philosophy. That in fact makes us the most isolated nation on the planet in spite of us being scattered all over it and when the crap really hits the fan as it’s going to, it also means the rest of the world won’t be willing to come to our aid.

About Caroline Kennedy :
Very much in the public eye during her father’s presidency and at her father’s funeral in 1963, Caroline Kennedy graduated from Radcliffe with a B.A. in 1980, trained at Sotheby’s in art, and graduated from Columbia Law School with a J.D. in 1988. She married Edwin Schlossberg in 1986. They have three children.

Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg’s 1991 book, In Our Defense: The Bill of Rights in Action, and her 1996 book, The Right to Privacy, were written with Ellen Alderman. She published a collection of some of the favorite poems of her mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, in 2001. In 2002, she published a collection of essays which echoed her father’s 1957 Profiles in Courage.

giving Colin Powell the vp spot might embolden the right to knock Obama off. They’ve been pulling Powell’s strings for years now and besides, Powell has already ruined his chances with that UN speech making him an accomplish, unwittingly or not, to the lies perpetuated by this current administration. I do like John Edwards, though in making him a running mate a whole lot of elderly women voters behind Hillary might rebel. I see the solution as I mentioned in an earlier post. Make Caroline Kennedy the vp and Hillary the secretary of health and human services. To add insult to injury, make Edwards the attorney general.

Make Caroline Kennedy the vice president and give Hillary secretary of health and human services. Caroline Kennedy is better versed than most career politicians and she has a degree in constitutional law. Her experience comes in the form of having the best political tutors in US history. She would maintain the women’s vote Hillary has gathered and Hillary would be able to embolden her national health care plan while retaining a key administrative post. There are no losers here. Only the republicans. And Caroline represents the change to a business as usual Washington. She is also as dynamic as Barack.

Secretary of State? When did that office become the Liars Den ? I guess starting from Powel and Rice.

who gives his opponents less incentives to kill him. Someone like Nader, Gore, or Collen Powel.

Powel will be the best choice.

I still believe John Edwards to be a very viable choice for vice President. I think Edwards has credibilty and is in accord with many of Obama’s views. Obama has been (and I hope will continue to be) a breath of fresh air in the midst of “stink” that permeates both the Democratic and Republican parties.

Let Hillary run as an independent with Liebermann as her veep running mate. They would have more votes than Obama will get, and they would have the AIPAC money behind them as well . . .

They might not win the presidency, but they’d surely shut Obama up once and for all. No one said it was not good to nominate a black man, but when he takes the nomination knowing he can’t win the presidency, he is destroying both the Democratic Party and his country, because as sure as the sun rises, he will lose to the racist Republicans and Democrats who will join together without fanfare to defeat the upstart negro who used oratory AND NOTHING ELSE to wrest the nomination away from an opponent who COULD have won the presidency easily had he not stolen all her black voters away.

The Clintons are very excited at the prospect of Obama campaigning for HIllary’s VP bid. The Obama camp remains quiet as they deliberate whether $20 mil is a high enough price to pay for the honor.

Cyrena, you beat me to it!!!  Hillary is not qualified to be vice.  Her ‘qualification,’ better yet boast of receiving more votes blah, blah, blah (18 million by Hillary count) cries out for a reality check. 

It’s the old numbers game writ large. In fact, this election cycle saw an unbelievable turnout in every single primary, ever single caucus, either double, triple or quadruple compared to 4 years ago. Hillary’s numbers reflect huge voter turnout.

That off my chest, Obama’s vice-president search squad headed by Caroline is yet again brilliant. Gets Hillary off his back, lends dignity to what is often a sleazy process, provides a justifiable ‘stall’ and keeps him in the driver’s seat - he afterall appointed the squad members.  This guy is really smart.

It ain’t gonna happen Mr. Rosenblatt. It’s too late to ‘counter’ the antics the she’s indulged in for the past year, and the Repugs are already using it against him.

See it here. It’s pretty obscene.

They’ve used her own words, (and Bill’s) to start ‘swiftboating’ him already.

Besides that, if anyone honestly believes that all of Hillary’s ‘baggage’ has already been scrutinized, that would be a naive assuption.

There is so much dirt to Billary’s Little Rock connections, the ticket wouldn’t stand a chance. And let us not think for a moment, that the same stuff wouldn’t have come out if she had taken the nomination.

So, since Obama has a clean record, and the best they can do is try to harp on his ‘experience’ thing, he needs to select someone that is already well vetted, and make the cleanest break he can with the Clinton’s.

At the end of the day, he won this nomination based on his promise of change in the way Washington does business. There is no possible way to accomplish that by keeping the Clinton’s around. It would be the equivalent of political suicide for him, and a disaster for all the rest of us.

I could write a Doctoral Dissertation on th enumerous Ways Hillary has Undermined and Used the Womens movement for her Own Gains.She has done US a Great disservice. She not only failed to handle herself with grace & self respect - she intentional took the rest of Us down with her.
She makes my Blood Boil!I work everyday not to be handed special consideration, priviledges and Treatment becasue ‘I’m a lil’ lady’ . I work to Prove I am Not the Weaker of the sexes, but Equal in my abilities. I work to show I can EARN my place at the Table with out the Help of Patronizing Assistance!She used the Womens movement to aid her in cutting us Off at the Knees. Her misuse of the issue of ‘Sexism’ has undermined the Gains we have made over the last 35 yrs.And How Dare her pat herself on theback for her ‘Work’ ove rthe last ‘35 yrs’ when Women have only gained on average a $0.02 Raise and Roe v Wade remains constantly on the Chopping block. Not to mention our Educational and helathcare system has been raped by funding Cuts and Insurance co. Profit margins.
her ‘Expereince’ appears to be in Aid to those who have lead this country to the Drain!
Frankly she should not only be run out of the Senate, she should be held accountable with therest of the Armed service Com (CON) for Derelicition of Duty. Our military and our national Security has been serverly compromised by their intentional lack of Oversight. Never should they allowed our Military to be deployed with out a clear Mission, goals an dExit Plan.They also failed to bar Profiteers from embezzling OUR Military funds and endangering our soldiers with their Reckless Criminal Misdeeds.they failed to assure proper care to those injured in the line of Duty, adequate rewards for their sacrifics and Real Answers to Families who’s children were Killed during this Ill fated, Profit/Oil motivated Fiasco.
She doesn’t serve the VP banner- She deserves a Orange Jumpsuit and Shackles!
