I don't think there was anything sinister in her remark. She sounded frazzled & frustrated to me and just said something dumb. I do think it is suggestive of how she might perform as president though.

That said, I think Obama would be nuts to put her on the ticket as vp for many reasons, not the least of which would be his own safety. A guy called into a talk radio show last night and said the ongoing joke is that if she were his vice president, he better appoint a food taster. -Might not be too far fetched.

IMO Obama shouldn't pick Hillary as VP running mate.
If he does his chance of getting assassinated will jump 100%.
I would put nothing past the Clintons.

I'm an Obama supporter, but still I think Hillary Clinton is unfairly demonized, mostly by the hard right but also by some Democrats. Her comment was simply that many times the contest for the nomination has carried into June or even beyond; it takes a real paranoid stretch to see her remarks as threatening to Obama.

It's true that the contest has often gone as far as the Democratic convention. For example, in 1980 Ted Kennedy carried his challenge of Jimmy Carter to the convention floor (It might have been better if he had won, but that's another discussion). Clinton is a fighter who doesn't give up easily--that's a good quality in a president, not a bad one. A man who was equally determined to win probably wouldn't be called "desperate," even if he was.

It's time people stop dissecting every comment by Obama or Clinton about each other (and there's no evidence the comment in question was even referring to him) and focus on the real contest with John McCain. If every word out of his mouth was put under a microscope as is done with Hillary the Democrats would find plenty of ammunition.

so she is saying that the nomination process isnt done until june? I dont understand it, i thought mathmatically she cannot win the nomination. Obama is not going to pick her as a vp, Why doesnt obama just announce he won like mccain?

Come on, Hillary! I'ven been predicting that you would come back to steal the nomination out from under O(bs)ama at the last possible moment. So, what's with this continuous shooting (sorry) yourself in the foot (or higher and more to the rear)?

You trying to make me look bad?

The thing is Clinton has been saying something like this since March in her stump speeches and in all reality the only reason it made the news this time is simply because of Ted Kennedy was already in the news with his diagnosis of Cancer of the brain.

What is she doing? Digging up old dirt? Why doesnt she comment on how he was murdered by his own government?

Started new thread with this info instead of posting it here ...
