Will her supporters get behind Obama? Should he choose her as his candidate for V.P.? Would they be a "dream ticket" or is there too much bad blood and "drama" that would go along with an Obama-Clinton (and Bill Clinton) ticket? Does he need a new, fresh face to go along with his theme of change? All of the political junkies out there are asking these questions.

I think that with Clinton telling her supporters to get behind Obama that they would.I don't think that they would a dream ticket because I have heard that republicans would rather vote for McCain than Hillary, but they would vote for Obama over McCain. I think with politics that it is a show and that there would be no bad blood.
I think that using a fresh face would help his campaign as opposed to using ann older face that may hurt his campaign.

Hillary's speech seemed comercial or planned out and acted. I felt like there was a fakeness about the speech because Hillary still wants to be part of the white house by becoming the Vice president. Now her supporers will vote for Barack, however they will never be the "dream ticket". I think that they both would bring a lot of good to the white house, however when you go through 22 debates with someone is hard to forget, bad blood could be possible and i would not be suprised if he doesnt even choose her as the next VP. A fresh face wont help the American people, yet for Barack Obama it might be a necessity.

i've never really felt sincerity from hillary, ive kinda always thought she was just power hungry. she could have possibly been a good president, but i beleive there is a reason the democratic party didnt vote for her. as much as it could benefit obama to add her as his VP, i think it could potentially harm his campaign immensely. i dont beleive her supporters will support obama, because it seems like those who would vote for her would want her in the power spot, not the 2nd hand man. especially because a lot of her support probably came from her husband's supporters, so with her being the VP, he will not have as much of an impact as voters could perhaps have liked to see. it almost seems like too much shock in one election to have a black president and female vice president, but i guess we'll see how things pan out!

I think its funny she dropped out and is now running for vp haha. She knew that she would lose to him so now shes joining him.....smart idea but like she said she has had 22 debates with him, and if im remembering correctly, she was against alot of the things that he said and stood for....and now all of a sudden she is right behind him! Supports him one hundred percent..yea i dont really buy it i think once they win she is going to basiclly take control of everything. I dont see why she wouldnt because she was originally running for prez so she already knows exactly what she would do if she were elected. And yes I'm sure that all her fans or followers will for sure vote Obama now. So good plan Hilary!

yo yo yo coraggio more extra credit for me......
Ok so I read mattisons hilarious! but I totally agree with my home girl. She is trying to somewhat get back in the game which does not make sense because she should not even be in it if she already lost. I mean everyone in the country knows that her and Obama totally disagree on a lot of things, so her possibly being his vp is only going to make tons of drama. I mean someone should ask her why or something, it all just does not add up or make any sense. Hillary and Obama just dont go not only that but to know that Obama came along and swept the country off of our feet, maybe there is another person just like that that would make an excellent vice president canidate..... We'll just have to see
