If you seriously thought Obama would offer her the vice president spot -- and that she would have actually accepted it -- means you don't really know Hillary and you certainly don't understand American politics very well.

I didn't think he would offer it to her at all, that wasn't even what I said. She earned the right to be VP. She had half the votes. Joe Biden dropped out in like Iowa.

Also if Hillary would have won, I would have expected Obama's supporters to be livid. There was the Michigan/Florida controversy and the debate about Superdelegates deciding the race, all of which would have probably came into Hillary winning. If you wouldn't be pissed about that, then you truly aren't as passionate about Obama.

That's pretty much the worst criteria ever for choosing a vp.

Not really, because if you want to win you have to get as many of your opponents supporters as possible. I realize you want someone who you work well with and can govern, whoever picking someone for those reasons could be pointless if you don't even win.

I think Obama had a huge oppurtunity to pick a VP that could bring in more voters. I don't really think McCain has that luxury, and now they are basically level pegging.

Hillary is patting his back in public and sticking a knife in it in private.

Exactly. Just because she made a speech supporting him tonight doesn't mean shit. I mean was she suppose to come out and say McCain FTW? Hillary is a fucking mediawhore. She wants to go down in history as the first female president. She believes it was her birthright (<3!) and she's going to manipulate and stab whoever is in the way <3. All the reasons people mention about hating her (bitchy, manipulative, mean, cold etc.) is exactly what has endeared me to her. It's not like I'm delusional and think that Hillary is a gift to the human race like you all do with Obama. I accept the bitch for what she is and embrace it.

I think she knows what to do for the good of her country and she can put aside her weapons until another time when she can use them WHICH IS NOT NOW.

I am the one who is delusional? I at least accept my candidate for what she is. She's a vicious, manipulative, diva politician who is trying to make sure Obama doesn't win so she can run again in four years.

It's a bit curious that none of the Obama supporters gave her any ounce of credit throughout the primary seasons. Now suddenly when she's urging her voters to back Obama, she's suddenly being truthful and geniunely wants Obama to be the president. How convenient that you guys back her up now.
