Do you think Obama is regretting now for not choosing Hillary?

Question

I think so. Almost all the Hillary voters are voting for McCain since he diss her and she got stiffed. He keeps talking about change and yet he choose a male vice president candidate. Does that make sense to you? It certainly don't to me and billions of Hillary supporters. He is a hippocrate.

Answer 1

I think that Obama hit it out of the park last night when he made the statement that this election is about what the American people want in 2008. Bringing a right- wing, gun-packing, soccer-mom from Alaska onboard as a Vice Presidential candidate in hopes of pulling the Clinton vote appears to be "Carl Rove" business as usual and another insult to the voters of this nation on the part of the GOP. McCain and the rest of the Republicans really don't get it this time. What do we have to show for the past eight years of Republican control of the White House? We have an economy in the tank, a dismal decline in U S standing around the world, an unnecessary war Iraq for the benefit big oil, and a government that has been the most unresponsive to the electorate in the history of this nation since that of Herbert Hoover. The packed house in Mile High Stadium and the 35 million television viewers that watched Obama's speech last night should provide the Republican Party with a clue as to its aspirations for maintaining the Presidency. We're eight years overdue for a change and a McCain/Palin ticket isn't itThere is NO way any Clinton supporters are going to support McCain just because he picked a women. Clinton supporters will never support someone as right-wing and "out of the mainstream" as Paulin. Her husband is in big oil and she is against equal pay for women, a women's right to chose and g*y rights. She is Bush in a dress with NO experience in foriegn affairs, she has not met any foriegn leaders and with John McCain's age and health the fact that this completely inexpericed women could someday be president is unacceptable and frightning. This is not change this more of the same and enough is enough. VOTE OBAMA/Biden

Answer 2

This is to the questionnaire. One, your an idiot if you think change depends on the gender of your vice president I do not know how that crept into your head. Two, Republicans are conservatives that is what the party is built on where Democrats are liberals, so who would you expect more to change to come from Conservatives (republicans) or Liberals (democrats). Lastly Liberal presidents have been elected through out the world, why? because of the fact the conservative parties are not implementing policies the right way , there is 8 years worth of evidence in front of you, just look at Bush's term in office and if you tell me the United States is in great shape then I will tell you pigs can fly.

Your telling change and regret of passing Hillary, and you believe a person as ignorant as Sarah Palin who believes global warming is NOT man made then i suggest you read a book.

Note to "fromthegetgo", please explain the rising levels of CO2, the decrease of coral reefs, increase in average temperature through out the world, more droughts then ever. Buddy Ive done thorough report on United Nations report on Climate change and if you think that climate change is NOT man made just as Sarah Palin thinks then I will have to talk to the person who educated you and her

another note- you think Obama is hypocrite when in fact McCain has been bashing Obama of not having enough experience and this guy decides to bring in someone with less than two years as governor of Alaska. Please tell me who the hypocrite is .. boy wonder what the chances are that McCain will use the inexperience tag again through out this campaign.. not after this one, i can tell ya that

Answer 3

Hillary supporters generally are not Republican.

He will not regret his move, Biden is a great man.

Answer 4

Definitely wondering if he made the right choice!

Answer 5

i dont think so. he made a great choice with who he choose. but not necessarily all hillary voters are going to vote for mccain, hillary is supporting obama in his campaign. ohh and i dont think he is a hippocrate..  

Answer 6

Why should he regret it? He decided NOT to use her for votes (like McPain) and chose who he felt would be able to give him the most help in his presidency, and is a friend. Why shouldn't he be free to pick someone like that?

Answer 7

I don't think he's regretting it b/c it would have been a grab for power from both of them. They are both leaders and maybe Hillary would have had a hard time not being the one in charge. I think Biden knows that he is not the main attraction and he will do what he is told, like a vice-president. The competition for the Democratic nomination was too close for Obama to choose Hillary as a running mate, it'd be the "Too many chiefs and not enough indians" mentality.

"Billions of Hillary Supporters?" Billions, with a b? There are 6 billion people in the world, how could billions support her. Millions? Sure. She was a great candidate. I think Obama will have a great ally in the senate in Hillary if he is chosen as president.

Answer 8

He's thankful he's alive...  He's thankful she didn't Vince Foster his butt along the way.

Answer 9

Umm.actually you're stastics are dead wrong sir, Almost all of Hilalrt Clinton supporters will be voting for Barack this fall.I think Mccain is regretting right now for picking her,he even have his own base, so I think you should really rethink your question, and ponder that!

Answer 10

There aren't "billions" of Hillary supporters - the US only has 300 million citizens, and Hillary had about 18 million votes in the primaries.

He chose an extremely experienced and well-respected male candidate that agrees with Obama politically.  It was a good choice, and if he had chosen Clinton then Obama would be constantly struggling to keep the spotlight on himself during the election.  I don't think Hillary would have been content with the consolation prize, either.

Simply put, it is demeaning to women everywhere to assume that a candidate in either party should be chosen solely for her gender.  McCain should be ashamed with himself for choosing Palin solely in an attempt to woo Hillary voters, and Hillary voters should be even more ashamed if they fall for it given that McCain/Palin are political opposites from nearly every Hillary platform.

Answer 11

I think the fact the Hillary nominated Obama by acclamation proves that she does not feel dissed.  I also think that McCain's pandering to "disaffected" voters will not work.  It didn't fool any Democrat and I doubt that many people will jump ship and vote for someone who supported Bush's policies 90% of the time.

Answer 12

No....do you think the mainstream republicans are sick to their stomach watching the gimmickry ruin their chances?

Answer 13

If he isn't than his judgment is worse than anyone realizes.

Answer 14

Your question is completely flawed.  The latest polls show that over 60% of her supporters are for Obama, over 20% are for McCain, and the rest are undecided/undeclared.  Second, not choosing a female candidate does not equal no change.  He's referring to a new vision for America, restoring Optimism, promoting policies that actually help the American people and address real issues.  And Joe Biden was a good choice for him.  I don't see how Hillary's supporters would actually agree with McCain or Palin on very many issues or policies, except for maybe a resentment for Obama.  Trust me he is not regretting his choice.  He's up by 8 points in the polls and doing just fine.

Answer 15

I'm ecstatic!  I didn't see it coming, but it's absolutely fantastic!!!  She's witty, intelligent, ethical, economical, dedicated to her husband, is family oriented, fishes, hunts, will be fantastic for energy development, and values human life!!  WOW!! Obama doesn't have a chance now at all.

Answer 16

Oh there's no doubt.  I am sure he's whining tonight about what a victim he is.  

Answer 17

No. I think the Democrat Party is regretting not choosing Hillary.

Answer 18

NO, not yet. But the woman and people that are going to vote for Mccain for Palin are conservatives, evangelicals and PRo life

Answer 19

Why is it all the left wing socialist are saying the right wing is upset about the pick of Palin? Are you people nuts? We are excited about the pick of such an amazing woman. She fought corruption in her own party and is the best choice as now sorry libs the conservatives are excited and will now vote for McCain. I was gonna go Libertarian but now will proudly vote for McCain/Palin.

Answer 20

People who vote along party lines REGARDLESS of who the party's nominee is are just fools. Those of us former Hillary supporters who now support McCain are doing so for the country's best interest. Hillary only said that she now endorses Obama because she wants to have a future in Democratic party politics, ESPECIALLY after several of her former "friends" within the party stabbed her in the back during the primaries.

Answer 21

MO H . . .  DO YOU REALIZE THE ANTARTIC ICE CAP IS GROWING AS THE ARTIC ICE CAP IS SHRINKING? AT THE SAME TIME, SCIENTISTS ARE TALKING ABOUT THE REVERSAL OF THE POLARITY OF THE EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELDS . . . IT HAPPENS PERIODICALLY . . . AND BEING THAT NOBODY WAS ALIVE TO WITNESS IT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED IT MAY VERY WELL BE WHAT IS HAPPENING AS IT AFFECTS THE CURRENTS OF THE TRANS OCEANIC CONVEYOR BELT.

OBAMA WAS TOO FULL OF HIMSELF TO ADMIT HIS SHORT COMINGS. I WOULDN'T DOUBT IF HE ASKED HILLARY AND SHE TURNED HIM DOWN. EVERYBODY KEEPS TALKING ABOUT WHETHER MCCAINS VP PIC WAS JUST TO GET THE VOTE OR WHETHER IT WAS ACTUALLY FOR PALINS GENUINE POLITICAL PROWESS . . . IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, ITS NO COINCIDENCE THAT OBAMA PICKED AN ELDERLY WHITE GUY. YEA HES A HYPOCRIT, ILL AGREE.

Answer 22

Yes he is a hypocrite as are all politicians. The man is not going to save us, we the people are the only ones who can change this country, not the government and until we learn that, nothing is going to change, no matter who gets into office.

Answer 23

NO.  

Answer 24

so your saying all Hillary supporters are going to wake up in the morning being republican right wing status quo members,who are afraid of change? gee,I dont think so. I also think you owe them an apology.

Answer 25

You have to wonder what he was thinking.  The entire primary was a farce.  The DNC, Obama, and the msm treated Hillary poorly.  She was qualified and would have been a slam dunk in the general election.

She was basically treated like **** then was forced to grovel and kiss the ring of the chosen one.

I guess Obama wanted to sink or swim on his own.  Will he be under water soon?  Only time will tell.

And no, this country isn't about what people want and neither is this election.  Stop putting your hand in other's pockets.

Answer 26

No I don't thinks so! Miss ex beauty contestant has nothing on her! Hillary has more experience in her pinky than this soccer mom that has a bachelors in journalism. Oh of course she has been in Alaska's politics for a while. The funny thing is that Los Angeles county has a greater population than the entire state of Alaska! That is hilarious! If you call that experience then there is no way Obama is not qualified to be president!
