Clinton on Brother Meeting with McCain Advisors: 'Ask Him'
Email
ShareAugust 22, 2008 3:07 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., visited the New York State Fair in Syracuse Friday afternoon, and for the second day in a row she was asked questions about being on the Democratic ticket.
She continued to recommend that those questions be directed to the Obama campaign.
Clinton was asked if she received a phone call from Barack Obama.
"You know my answer to any question about the subject that I think you are referring to is that all inquiries should be directed to Senator Obamas campaign," Clinton said.
When asked by ABC News what she thought of her brother, Tony Rodham, meeting with top aides to John McCain, Clinton brushed off the question. "Oh that is not a fair depiction as I understand it, so you'll have to ask him.”
When asked if Clinton still wants to be the vice presidential candidate, Clinton said, “I have never said I did. I have always said I would do whatever I can because I feel so strongly in making sure that we elect senator Obama our next president. I'm going to do everything I can as I did yesterday in Florida to make sure that happens.”
Clinton was asked what Obama needs in a veep candidate and responded by saying, “Whatever he decides he needs. That's for him to decide,” she continued, “I am not in that arena. It is his decision. I respect him to make it however he believes is best of him and for our party and our country.”
Clinton ate a pork sausage at the fair and was asked by ABC News whether she was taking a late night flight to Springfield, Ill., this evening where Obama is planning a large campaign rally presumably featuring his vice presidential pick.
Clinton smiled and continued eating her hot dog.

Hillary Clinton should be the nominee and hopefully, she will come out of the convention as the Democratic nominee! Obama is a loser and will ALWAYS be a loser. He has flipped flopped, lied, played the racist card, and continues to decline in ALL the polls and is now behind in the electoral vote projections. Hillary is our ONLY chance to take back the White House!
Hillary 08 !

Obama '08, Mark Warner '12
Never, ever, ever Hillary!!!!!
Obamanation will always be ready with money and votes to put her out of the race again and again.

I just don't see Obama winning without Hillary. I have to agree. I do think she has something up her sleeve. She hasn't supported Obama that much since the primaries. If she did, the media would have jumped all over it. It seems as if she wasn't even around. However, now, Chelsea and Hillary have the stage on Tuesday nite, Bill Clinton on Wednesday nite, and Hillary gets the floor vote on Thursday nite. This is going to be interesting, since the Democratic Convention this year is ALL about Hillary Clinton!

Hillary will never be!!!
Obamanation will put her out of the race time and time again.
The anti-Hillary candidate next time will be Mark Warner. My bank account has $4,600 ready for him!!!!
Posted by: carl29 | Aug 22, 2008 3:20:29 PM
carl29....I disagree, I think Hillary is actually controlling Obama now. It's hard to beat a Clinton.....I think we will be pleasantly surprised at the convention when Hillary accepts the nomination!
Hillary 08 !

NEVER HILLARY
NOHILLARY!!!!

According to Politico today, Hillary was snubbed by Obama -- no chance for VP! Face it, Pelosi wouldn't want to share power with another woman and Obama is Pelosi's puppet.
And that's the way it is!

Hillary should be sec of state.
and I don't care what either side says about the battle the best thing for America is an Obama Biden Clinton ticket but she as sec of state.
she can run when Biden doesn't at the edn of the terms...

I'll be here waiting for your Alice.
On Thursday night is the nominee's acceptance speech. Remember my nickname: Carl29. I'll be here.
The sad reality for Hillary is that there is a real anti-Hillary vote and that vote will always show up every time she runs. As I already told you, the next anti-Hillary candidate will be Mark Warner.
Why do you think that Obama gave him the keynote speech on Tuesday night?

Obama Bin Lying!
McCain 08!

Whatever, Alice... the Clinton/Obama thing is a creation of the media. They want the drama.
They are both professionals doing what they do.
There's no secret myth about either one of them.
Let her eat her hot dog for god's sake AND let him choose his VP.
Why can't you Clinton people be as mature as Hillary?
Posted by: whatever | Aug 22, 2008 3:29:38 PM
and it's got nothing to do with Pelosi or anyone else...
it has more to do with Bill Clinton than anyone and everyone knows that...
the guy showed he is a liability to her now...
he didn't pass the subjegating ego test for her...or anyone who has to work with her now.

The republicans spend all of August on lies, lies and more lies. It seems like the American public is too stupid to understand this and the Democrats don’t have the nerves to fight. You can not win in a bar fight without kicking someone in the down and dirty and this is a down and dirty bar fight, and so far, Obama does not want to kick or hit anyone. I want to see Obama hit McCain where it hurts. He must attack him and the republicans where it hurts them. Show American how dirty republicans really are. We need to see some blood. I am tired of loosing the white house to a bunch of crooks because democrats act like a bunch of sissies. I am mad and I am not going to take it anymore!

I think Obama/Hillary is the Winner!

I believe you said Chet Edwards would NEVER be considered by Obama as his running mate. Yet, FOX and Politico both report he's on Obama's short list.
Hmmm
Posted by: Martin Slueg, jr | Aug 22, 2008 3:32:45 PM
It doesn't matter who Obama Bin Lyin chooses, he continues to fall in the polls and will continue to do so and will lose the election. I actually hope he chooses Biden, since Biden supported John McCain on the Iraq war and many other issues, added to the fact, that Biden can't keep his mouth shut.....hmmm....yeah, Biden would be a good choice!
McCain 08 !
Posted by: Harvey | Aug 22, 2008 3:33:16 PM
Hillary would be able to regain what she lost if Obama wins and she gets sec of state...
she would be weaker if she was VP
It would not be good for either of them
as him losing is actually worse for her than for him...
Sec of State gives her more gravitas outside the "first lady role" she has with foreign policy...
which may outweigh concerns of anybad that came from the clinton years that did her in this time (I am not saying the clinton years were bad...but I am saying there is a lot fo bad there...mostly attached to Bill)
what she really needs to do is divorce Bill. He may stick up for her and all but he was a lousy husband and after a few years of her getting more strength as just Hillary... his existence in her life will far outweigh any positive he brings to her.
Posted by: dl | Aug 22, 2008 3:35:33 PM
I think that Obama/HIllary is O.K; however, Obama/Biden is even better. Look, Hillary flew, in the democratic primary, on her husband's shoulders; however, in the general the Republicans will make her "experience" look laughable. Hillary doesn't have real foreign experience. She was a mere guest; however, Joe Biden's experience is just undeniable. McCain's cannot measure up against Joe Biden.

I said he won't be picked
he won't...ever.
he's on the list because of Pelosi.
