Who should be McCain's running mate? |
are we voting for a VP...
The question at hand is Hillary to be the running mate for Barack Obama. The Answer: No. Clinton could have "gracefully" bowed out, but she continued to stay in the race. Many might see this as an act of persistance, but I see it as an act of ignorance. It's pitiful, excuse my tone, it is. Would you want a leader who does not know when to accept defeat, accept wrong, accept that what you are doing is not good for the country. Her choice to not bow out and fight all the way till the end, scratch that, even after defeat shows her unwillingness to change. We are VOTING for a president, not two. Obama said he is here for change, Hillary as VP is not going to help that change. Adding Hillary is an act of: back-up. If Obama says he can be leader, if he says he can unite, he is the vessel for change, he would not need Hillary or anyone of that magnitude to help him. If she does, it just shows Obama can't handle the oval office. It shows Obama needs her support. If Obama can surpass this moment, it shows how much he can unite this country regardless or race, regardless of religion, regardless of gender. We are voting for the President, not two, and not a VP niether. A Obama-Clinton ticket is not a valid ticket, Obama has fought his way up the political ladder himself, he can do it again.
None theless what's more important, is not the President's right hand man/woman, but the choices and changes he will make in the oval office, that is what I want to hear, not whose going to get Obama's VP ticket, get out of this ball-game. It's Obama's pitch.
