Pelosi Believes an Obama/Hillary Ticket Would Be a Bad Idea

Quoth the Speaker of the House to Larry King:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton shouldn't share the Democratic presidential ticket unless they really want to.
No shit, Sherlock. All Obama needs is that lying sack of garbage as his running mate. Earlier on, I thought it might be a good idea, but after her lying bouts and really dirty politics of the last several weeks, I think differently. The only thing having that lying sack of crap on his ticket would do is guarantee his losing to McCain...

A few weeks ago, one of the AOL bloggers made a case for it. He pointed out several pres/VP teams who couldn't stand each other (Kennedy and LBJ was one). And of course it would unite the party, for there are lots of Democrats who strongly prefer Hillary to Obama, and they will be disillusioned when he finally takes the nom. (They won't necessarily vote for McCain, but they might not vote at all.)

Yes, but was LBJ liked by people? I don't think Obama hates her or can't stand her. I think he just despises her politics. She, on the other hand, hates that he's taking history-making away from her. She believes she is destined to be the first woman president and this might be her only chance to get that nomination. And she hates Obama for it.

More importantly, lots of people cannot stand her (myself included). She simply does NOT know how to tell the truth. She is incapable of allowing truth to pass through her teeth. We don't need this in a VP. There are plenty of woman politicians out there (take, for example, the VERY popular Democratic governor of Arizona) who would do a better job at unifying the party than Hillary could ever hope.

I'm not saying I personally would be happy with Hillary on the ticket, but it might be a smart move. Even though she is losing the nomination, she is still very popular, and many Democrats strongly prefer her to Obama, as witnessed by her winning almost all the big states. Uniting the two on one ticket would be a way of appeasing, if not pleasing, the whole party. The Hillary fans would be happy, and so would the Dems who like both candidates. People like you and me who can't stand her will have to hold our noses, but it still won't do much to weaken our support for Obama, because he's still the main man. So in the end, it really can only help him.

Hi, A.K.O.,

It still amazes me that there are still frum Jews out there supporting Obama. Hey, I don't like Clinton or McCain either, but I'll probably hold my nose and vote for McCain, unless he chooses Condi to be his VP.

I know I'm just a one-issue (Israel) voter here, but I still don't get it. And, yeah, I reviewed your blog already.

Personally, I believe that the lack of choices this year is HaShem's way of showing us that he's the one in control and we'd better put our faith in Him before any goyshe leader.

(Still hoping for a Hunter/Allen ticket, but that's not gonna happen. I wonder if I'll get crucified for this view.)

Well, as I've stated, I don't think Israel is an issue AT ALL. As I've mentioned before, NO president, no matter how conservative or liberal, is going to deviate from the following three conditions dealing with Israel: 1. Israel's security is paramount. 2. There MUST be a two-state solution (not that I agree with this at all, but that's what any candidate will say). 3. They MUST live side-by-side in peace.

To me, the economy is a HUGE issue, and the Republicans have completely destroyed it here. The Republicans aren't any more or less friendly to Israel and her interests than the liberals are.

McCain will just continue Bush's (talk about a complete disaster of a presidency) policies, and the US cannot go through another four to eight years of this. Hillary can't tell the truth to save her life or her career. Obama, on the other hand, is espousing change for the better in this country, not dissimilar to what Bill Clinton said in 1992.
