have at it.

Weather was nice here today.  It was really hot last week, but its cooled off nicely.  

I couldn't disagree more with you.

"To me, this is non-negotiable..."

Uhh.. since when were you open to negotiation in the first place?  All we've heard from you is that unless Hillary Clinton is in the VP slot, you're going to vote for her ideological opposite.  If you're comfortable voting against your own self interests then go for it, but please stop beating us all over the head with the same tired ultimatum.

We've got a nomination to win!

No one is shoving Hillary Clinton aside. Not. Gonna. Happen. There is a chance Obama will pick her as VP. Then again, he might not. It's Unity Eve. Let's enjoy it. We get to see two incredible leaders of this country together in a town that is absolutely thrilled with having two great Americans visit them. Barack and MIchelle Obama are maxxed out donors to Hillary Clinton. More of that will follow. Trust in the brilliance of these two people. Or don't. I respect you too much to say other than it's always great to see your posts.

I saw a 900 ft. Jesus in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

All things are negotiable. This is part of the game of politics. Obama would like to to have a unanimous first vote for the symbolism of it and Hillary would like something in return, such as 30 minutes of prime time as key note speaker day one or two.

As to the VP slot this is not something you negotiate. I am sure she is on the list, but I am not so sure she'll be asked. Let's face it Obama may feel she is more important to his administration elsewhere and it is his choice.

They think people are taking them seriously.  After it stops being funny it is kind of sad.

...Plus, if Hillary is not selected as VP and IF Obama has eight years in office, Obama's VP will be the first VP in years to lose the nomination should Hillary run again!!!

...it's his choice to pick his VP and it's MY choice to vote for who the hell I want to...

There's no two ways about it...sir or madam!!!!!

he's either afraid they'll hand the nomination to her (they will not) or he's afraid people will be reminded it was a close primary, and he will look weak.

Wait, a Clinton dead-ender?

They still make those?  Not even Hillary Clinton is a Clinton dead-ender.

I don't think you know what "democracy" means.  And, spare us the pontificating that this is yet another non-negotiable issue for you.  You've made it clear that you're voting for McCain if Clinton is not the VP.  Take your tantrum elsewhere.

All this can be solved in heartbeat. All he has to do is put her on the ticket and bingo total unity. The only people who don't like the idea are the Clinton haters in the Dem party and the extreme Obamanauts. Usually the same people. So far his poll numbers have been a very mixed bag I'd say and indicate there is still a lot of discomfort among dems and dem leaning indies. Of course not say the Obamanauts all's roses in the garden. So why are these arguments still going on daily here?

Nikki, Hillary Clinton's inspiring and transformative campaign for the Democratic nomination is now over.

If Hillary wants to be VP, Obama is in no position to deny this with nearly 1/2 the delegates at the convention pledged hillary supporters.

Wrong: he is the only one in the position to give it.  That's what winning the nomination means.

Hillary supporters cannot be expected to get on the band wagon, only to then have their candidate shoved aside.

She's not your candidate anymore, because she's not campaigning for anything anymore.  She's a supporter of the Democratic nominee.

Asking for respect and understanding from the Obama campaign is one thing.  But pretending that Clintonites are in a position to negotiate and make demands over the VP or the convention is just wishful thinking.  She is not a candidate anymore.  She herself says this.  Those who supported her (note the past tense) are free to vote for whomever they want for whatever reasons.  But she is not in a position to demand anything from him, and she herself understands this.
