How should Obama handle Hillary? What is the risk of alienating her supporters?

Question

Should he eat humble pie?

BE a jerk?

Tell her where he want her to go?

BE Presidential and put pride away for sake of the people.

Answer 1

her supporters will either look at the issues or be dim-witted, I have already seen many on T.V. say they will vote for McCain, so apparently never-mind what Hillary stood for they will show their support by voting the candidate that believes the opposite.

Answer 2

RE: "Handling Hillary" - I am positive she will factor in Obama's administration, should he be elected.

RE: "Alienating Hillary's Supporters" Oh dear, while I did promise myself today to answer questions in a calm, positive way, I feel the need to say this about Mr. McCain and these are truths that simply cannot be denied (just in case anyone out there is considering voting for him out of spite because Hillary did not win the nomination) And I deeply admire her!        

  Mr. McCain is known for being on the side of an exclusive club of racist, union-busting, woman-suppressing, bedroom-peering, rights-scoffing, warmongering, torture-backing, buccaneering, global warming-denying, privatizing, public land-grabbing, Supreme Court stuffing, empire-building, Constitution-shredding raptors.

So, to all of you who are unhappy that your candidate has not won the nomination. I understand that. Mine didn’t win either. But if you vote in McCain's favor, you're also willing to contribute to the election of someone who stands against most of what your candidate has been promoted as standing for. That, I don’t comprehend at all. Emotionally, intellectually or morally. In essence, you would be voting for George W. Bush in 2008 if the 22nd Amendment weren’t in the way.

Don't swing your vote in favor of Mr. McCain just for self-indulgent revenge.    

Ok - all through now! (Where's the Tylenol?) *LOL**

Answer 3

I think her ridiculous behavior should have eliminated her from even being considered for the VP position - the fact that she refused to concede right away...that she is dragging out her exit from the campaign, that there is public pressure being put on Obama to chose her for VP....she's totally lost her dignity through the course of this ego trip she's on....he has already commended her publicly for all her public service but after all the bad blood that has been spilled between them and all the dirty campaigning she did to try and tear him down he owes her nothing. I think he should chose John Edwards for VP.

Answer 4

He should eat humble pie and ask her to be his V.P.,for the

good of the country. The important thing is to prevent McCain

from getting into office and continuing Bush's disastrous

policies.

Answer 5

I wish she would be his VP because that is the only way I will vote for him.

Answer 6

Ignore her. She shouldn't be VP. Can you imagine the interference and second guessing by Bill and Hillary?
