Dallas South Talks With Hillary Supporter About Petition
Shawn Williams interviews Aaron Paz of El Paso about a petition he’s circulating to get Hillary Clinton on the Obama ticket as Vice President. I thought this was interesting because it’s a long shot that Hillary will accept the petition. I wish people could just rally around Obama and leave this issue alone. Paz at the time had collected 100 signatures and the minimum needed to submit the petition is 300. Guess we’ll see how it goes later.
I personally think this is Hillary’s fault. After loosing the nomination, she failed to do a better job with moving her supporters to the Obama camp and made things worse when she made known her wanting to be the vice president. It was a spirited primary and both sides did what they had to do, but there could only be one winner. No matter who Obama chose, it would have been the “wrong” person. If he would have chosen Clinton, then all the Obama supporters would have been up in arms.

I hate that there has to be such sour grapes. At the end of the day, it’s a battle and nothing personal. Hillary is too much of a polarizing figure and would’ve caused much more damage than support as a VP. Gaining her supporters would’ve totally pushed away a large segment of “fence folk”. Obama is in between a Clinton and a hard place.
