The majority of Clinton supporters will support Obama in November%u2026

Some will not, but I think most realize the stakes, and put that above sour grapes and petty jealousy.
However, most of the folks who keep repeating on here that they won''t support Obama will probably stick to their word. They can congratulate themselves if Obama loses, and smirk for a bit. They can also pat themselves on the back when the US troop casualty count comes in each month, and feel proud they help perpetuate that.

They can smile to themselves as the dollar continues to weaken and friends and family can''t find blue collar jobs in America, and know they had a hand in that too. As more conservative judges are appointed to the supreme court, they can laugh to themselves and say "yeah, but we sure taught the DNC a lesson, didn''t we?"

So be proud Obama haters, you are the true Americans aren''t you?%u2026

It was Johnson, who did his own version of "9/11" with the Tonkin gulf "incident", who escalated the war into Vietnam.
Some of us were paying attention back then.

And, talking about "911''s", it was also under JFK that "Operation Northwoods" didn''t take place.

It''s just a handful of delegates and super delegates, not the people who let Hillary down...

Hillary won all key states, and received the most popular votes yet the people''s voice were bashed. The biased sexist DN supdels decided to ignore the people and pulled the carpet and the floor from under her. They stole delegates from Hillary to give to their golden boy Barack Hussein, and allocated all undecided votes to him - even though he took his name off the ballot, and blocked a re-vote too. The DN purposefully supported racist Barack and his 92% black racist followers. Cleraly an African style robbery. What happened to democracy? The DN better remember all this at the General Election in November.

"JFK invaded Cuba, nearly started a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, and dramatically increased US military presence in Vietnam (which essentially started the Vietnam War)." Posted by S_Temper

You are totally incorrect about Vietnam, it was his intention to end the "secret war" in Cambodia, thereby cutting off the cash cow for some, that got him killed.

It was Johnson, who did his own version of "9/11" with the Tonkin gulf "incident", who escalated the war into Vietnam.

Some of us were paying attention back then.

I hope Obama has the good sense to pick Hillary whose popularity has been demonstrated by exceptional wins in swing states. She is also very appealing to Hispanics. If he wants to win over Clinton supporters, Hillary would be his best choice...though she is twice the political figure he is!

Are there other ways too if a VP selection has been proven in the past to actually enhance the ticket to maximize that gain by not just stopping with the VP, but also naming other cabinet members like the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, AG etc . . . then you could get like 4 for the price of 1 (?)
