Why Do We White People Dislike Michelle Obama?
Only 24% of white Americans have a favorable view of Michelle Obama. How could she be less popular than the most unpopular president in US history? I have an answer: racism.
On the Red Phone
I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call...and I was afraid...very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone.
Joe Scarborough Disses Rachel Maddow
Scarborough epitomized every boorish, condescending male that ever tried to diminish a woman... whether it be a family member, a co-worker, or a presidential candidate.

In the end it is the American electorate who will decide, no matter how popular throughout the rest of the world O is. If Ms. Clinton really was a "sour grapes" type of person, as many have suggested here, she could simply refuse O's request when he makes it. That she has already said she would take it attests to her loyalty to her party and her commitment to see demos in the WH. She is a bigger person than me--I might suggest I would be on the ticket only at the top, which is where she really should be.
I'll support Barack Obama no matter who he picks as his VP.
Fired up in Arizona!!
Putting Hillary on the ticket would be a mistake. She has incredible potential to overshadow the candidate. All of her and Bill's negatives prior to and since 2000 will provide the Repug attack machine ammo it doesn't now have against Obama. There could be so much negative Clinton stuff out there you'd forget that she wasn't on top of the ticket. Of course, not all of the attention she would draw would be negative, and that would also detract from him. Clinton on the ticket could lead to the kind of inertia we now see in Congress. Better to leave her quiet and off the main stage as she is now and let the attention flow to Obama.
"incredible potential to overshadow the candidate. ...you'd forget she wasn't on top of the ticket. Of course, not all the attention would be negative and that would also detract from him". Don't you see what you are saying?
Obama with Hillary as VP just doesn't fit. She can accomplish much more in the Senate anyway. Why would she want to be second banana in the White House?
right or wrong, good or bad, there is a long history of close primaries being settled by a joint ticket. even (and sometimes especially) when the two candidates don't like each other, unity is a put up or shut up kind of thing. if you believe in unity, you have to go with the vp pick who will satisfy the opposing camp within the party. this year, the only pick who fits that bill (so to speak) is hillary.
