It will be a huge blow to a lot of people and many will still expect Hillary to ask him to run with her as VP. Hillary is getting more Republican and independent support than the media has led us to believe. But she might have problems with youth and black voters this year because they are SO excited over Obama. I know quite a few blacks who were insulted by Bill Clinton's Jesse Jackson comment. I didn't think it was offensive but I guess some people are more sensitive than others. <BR/>I personally do not want Obama on the ticket either but it might be something we have to do to ensure a win. Not to say Obama can win the election on his own either. I also know Clinton supporters who won't vote for him. I don't like him but a Clinton/Obama ticket makes everyone happy.

Particularly after today's Harry and Louise attack he sent out about Hillary's Universal Health Care Plan. More and more progressives are finding out that Obama is NOT very progressive.<BR/><BR/>As you have stated, his main core of support is Black voters and young (18-25 yr. old) voters. I believe very strongly that once the primaries are over, Blacks would come back strongly and vote for Hillary, particularly with the number of Black leaders who support her. African Americans have always supported the Clintons, and I don't believe that most fell for the phony race-baiting that was used against them.<BR/><BR/>So I really can't see anything that Obama adds that she doesn't already have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-33255081680347509472008-02-01T12:20:00.000-08:002008-02-01T12:20:00.000-08:00Apparently Obama is believing the B.S. that Clinto...Apparently Obama is believing the B.S. that Clinton needs him more than the other way around. He's said this before but he said it again today:<BR/><BR/>He took credit for helping to expand the playing field for Democrats by "attracting new voters and independent voters into the process in a way that Senator Clinton cannot do."<BR/> <BR/>"I don't take all the credit for the enormous upsurge in participation in the Democratic primaries and caucuses over the last four contests," Obama said while taking questions from reporters in Los Angeles. "But I think it's fair to say nobody has done more to engage and bring people in who otherwise would not participate."<BR/> <BR/>Obama and McCain both attract a large number of Independents, while Clinton is stronger among Democrats than Independents. Using Nevada as an example, Obama said while Clinton did well in Clark County where traditional Democrats reside, he did well in Elko, a place without traditional Democratic votes.<BR/> <BR/>"I am confident I will get her votes if I'm the nominee," Obama stressed. "It's not clear she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
