I would hope he will ask and would hope she will accept. Otherwise I would want to see her in the cabinet. It's been tough watching this back and forth and bickering. Two awesome candidates, our first woman and our first black. it breaks my heart to see people fighting over this. It really does. There's too much at stake for people to be so vested in their personal preference that they can't see the light through the trees. I honestly believe, knowing politics that both our candidates see the light through the trees -- and supporters need to understand that they (Obama and Clinton) will rally together when the nomination is decided.

I too have frequently become disgusted, disenchanted, and disheartened by the intolerance of fringe elements of both the Obama and Hillary camps. Instead of being thankful that we were blessed to have two excellent candidates of this calliber, some in opposing camps have turned on each other. Perhaps I am a little, "over-the-top" in my pessimistic assessment. Democrats, unlike Republicans, have always been ready, willing and able to display their dirty linnen in public. Let us hope that cooler heads will prevail. I give all due respect to both the intellligence and tanacity of Senator Clinton. She has served, and will continue to serve, this country well!! Perhaps the most disheartening thing is that we had two excellent candidates who just happened to emerge at the same time. It's really a shame that one of them has to finish second best. What are your views on an Obama/Clinton ticket? Would it be a prudent ticket? Do you think Hillary would accept the VP spot.? If she does not end up on the ticket and Obama wins over "McBush", I think it would be imperative for Obama to offer her a position on his cabinet. The bottom line is that it is absolutely imperative for all democrats to come together to support our nominee once the dust seattles. Thanks for encouraging me to see things a little more opptomistcally and objectively. Buzz I am in agreement with you, Pamela, in your last response to me.

Quite frankly I am looking forward to this historic nomination and historic presidency. And I'm still of the mind that we will have a winning ticket with Obama and HRC together. Thank you Darrell.

I think some supporters of both candidates have collectively lost their freakin minds. There's been so much foul crap spewed in the blogosphere for so long now that most days I dread even writing about this election. I'm disgusted and disenchanted and disheartened. I talk to people off the blogs that have more common sense and decency regarding both our candidates than here in the blogosphere. It's rare that I hear anyone spout off about HRC or Obama in the world beyond the blogosphere. You've spouted here for months about HRC, even after I have asked you not to. I've tried to keep this blog running for months in the model it started -- where commenters are respectful of all Dems. If you think Barack Obama is the better candidate - as I have said before - tell us why and stop trashing HRC. Because honestly Buzz, I think you are better person than this. Buzz

Your comment frankly is more over the top than Rebecca's. And yes, I have told you many times that things you said here against HRC were Republican talking points and I will say it again. As for the over the top HRC supporters threatening to vote for McCain or whatever, I don't agree with that crap either. This blog doesn't support that stuff and is on record to support the nominee -- as you know. So as a long time friend of this blog, you really didn't need to go there tonight. And I am disappointed that you did. Buzz

Also it's a huge and complicated world we live in, leaving plenty of room for anyone to create a legacy in any position of power.

I didn't get the same take as you, Pamela. She is NOT using "tired ole Republican talking points ." Yes I do agree, Pamela, that it is very sad to see democrats using Republican type talking points against our own. But, please don't blame the GOP for this mess. IT IS US-NOT THEM THAT IS CAUSING US to SELF EMPLODE. As I have said repeatedly, and been taken to task for, it is Hillary and Company who continue to use the gender and race card to create havoc. It is the Hillary camp which has facillitated the possibility that we might b able to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. Some, but not all of the rants coming from her campaign workers, following the meeting of the DNC Rules Committee are follows: "The Democrats are throwing this election away. An inadequate BLACK male who would not have been running had it not been that a WHITE WOMAN is runing for president. Harriet Christian, a Clinton volunteer, said--"They don't think we won't turn and vote for McCain. Well, I have news for you, McCain will be the next president of the united states." They are now accusing the Obama campaign of being an, "anti-woman cult". Outside of the committee loud chants by Hillary supporters were: McCain In o8" and "No-bama" Any and all methods are being used by the Clinton's to ferment party disunity!! Yes, Pamela, it is sad that Hillary's ego is so big that she will sacrifice another four years of a GOP presidency over and above the well being of this nation. Her supporters at the DNC meeting were often refered to by reporters as being a "mob". To me it seems that these die-hards have the firmly entrenched attitude that if Hillary is not the nominee there done being democrats now. It is one thing to vent and quite another to supply aid and comfort to the enemy camp. (McCain) If McCain runs short of campaign workers, it seems that Hillarys base would be willing and able to provided him with both membership and financial support. If this does not represent the epitomy of sour grapes, I fail to see what else would top it!!!!!! Buzz I would like to blog a few words in defense of Rebecca.

If she does not win the nomination, I would like to see her return to the senate and make her mark there. New Yorkers love her and she needs that now. Also, it would be very hard to play second fiddle to someone with the ego of Barack Obama. Stuart: I’m with you.
