So, if you forget your feelings for Hillary and simply look at this from a strategic view point...???


i will do the first vote, yes, certain victory

Hillary also assures Obama's Assassination, but that wasn't an option.

Umm.. can we get a couple more answers? Like how Clinton would mobilize an apathetic Republican base (and not against her, but the "Hillary" cartoon character they invented in the 90s)?

I would have voted for "No, she and Bill would hurt him"

Options boil down to 1) Sure win with Hillary or 2) McCain is better.

Isn't this something like a push poll?

Hillary on ticket makes it possible for McCain to win.

That's basically the definition of a push poll. Making something simpler than it is but the only options are really Hillary helps Obama win or it's racism or McCain.

You left out she can hurt the effort as an option.

But you didn't GIVE us the option that she would hurt. You gave us the pro-Hillary answer and then the Obama loses no matter what. I think Obama CAN win WITHOUT Hillary and putting her on the ticket will ENSURE his loss! You guys REALLY don't realize the HATE for the Clinton that many have, and not ALL are Repugs either. I HATE her and I'm true blue liberal. I've hated her partially due to being raised in a Republican household in the 90's and partly due to the fact that I think she showed her true face and is a whiner, memememe person and thinks she deserves this because her husband cheated on her (all the while staying with a man who repeatedly cheats and gets caught and allows him to walk all over her).

There are MANY Dems who are Republican converts that would not be able to bring themselves to vote for her (at least as many as those whiny pro-Hillary people that claim they won't vote for Obama). And I TRULY believe that Republicans are MORE afraid of her than they are of Obama getting into office. They may be apathetic enough with Obama to stay home, but will RALLY if Hillary is on the ticket.

My point is, the option missing is: Hillary will lose this for Obama and he's better off without her.

Hi. i don't have a landline, only a cellphone, so I can't take your poll!

All seriousness aside, I have mixed feelings of the Hilliary and how to answer the poll. So much of her landing the Veep spot depends on her commitment and seriousness of campaigning for Obama. On June 7, 2008, she said she'd be out there stumping for Obama and she really hasn't very much. So I don't know.

I'm still hoping Biden gets it. I think he would be a fierce contender when confronted with the MSM and whatever idiot the Republicans choose. (Though if the Republicans choose Bloomberg, we might be in some trouble.)
