Survey Results

Thanks to everyone who participated! This was fun for me, and I was surprised by the results. Who would have thought it would be such a one-sided result? Well, actually, Sparty did, but most people thought it would be a much closer poll.

The Question was: DO YOU THINK Barack Obama should have Hillary Clinton for his Vice Presidential running mate?

The Count:
13-NO
2-YES
1-DON'T CARE

===
SCOT: NO During the campaign, Hillary said that she and Sen. McCain had passed the "Commander in Chief test," and argued that Obama had not. Obama wants to make history, but he's not going to do that with a running mate who doesn't believe in the ticket. There is no way Obama should invite the Clintons, and all their bitterness and baggage, to join him on the ballot. It would be a sign of weakness, as well, and weak candidates don't make strong presidents. He won. What is left to negotiate?

JERRY - NO! I don’t want two vice presidents...Bill & Hillary.

MARSHA - No. I think whatever she might bring to his ‘electability’ can be found elsewhere.
Her candidacy has become too divisive in these last months. On the other hand, I could just as easily have said ‘don’t care,’ as I plan to vote for him regardless.

PAT W. - NO. I don't think HC would be subservient to BO. I believe the due would be in constant conflict and America doesn't ned that.

MIKE CARROLL - Not that anyone would care what I think, especially Barack or Hillary, but: I don't care. However, I think she would be smart to stay in the Senate and work to get him elected, then she would have more options in the Dem party for her future.

DASHMANN - No – I think he needs to choose someone who embraces the changes he does. Maybe Russ Feingold. How about that one –a black and a Jew ???

IRISH MIKE - No. She brings with her Bill, and they need to be the center of attention. The question is, can Obama win with her not on the ticket? I don't know.

GIGI - Absolutely NOT. The Clinton's have had their chance; Obama deserves his.

BILL - NO! I think that Hillary will be a political liability for BO. She, with her husband Bubba, have alienated many people that would have been an asset to a Democratic victory in the fall. The present vitriol that is felt by many of Hillary's supporters will mostly vanish when they are in the November voting booth and the absence of her on the ballot will be negligible. What BO needs to do is make a very WISE choise for his VP candidate. We must remember that in this new scenario the selection of the VP may also be the selection of the President during the four year reign.

SANDY - YES. I think she would be a good balance and her experience and connections would be to his benefit. I don't see it happening, though!

JOE - If I were a democrat, No! ...Bill would be a real problem. If I were a Republican I would say Yes! By all means!!

BOB H. - No! That brings Bill and in my opinion he wore out his welcome during this campaign. She could be a very effective U.S. senator, and he would be free to make money.

ALICE -YES. But he doesn't much care what I think. If not as VP definitely in his cabinet.

MARGARET - No.

AMY - No.

BUD - NO.
