I never gave any thought to Hillary running as the V.P. Previously, I've stated that if it came down to McC. vs. H., I'd vote for McCain.
If she was on Obama's ticket, I will be forced to vote for McCain because I will vote for the Devil to not see Hillary around anymore. (The Devil will not go away).

No doubt she'd do whatever underhanded way she could find to "be the boss", wear the pants (Oops, she already does, at least pantsuit), subjugate Obama.

But others won't watch the interview, but express opinions..go figure

one huge and glaring difference, you had no idea who jeremiah wright was a few weeks ago, we've all been exposed to bill o'reilly's blatant lies, truth twisting, and all around drug induced "righteousness" for many, many years now...it's only now that democrats (those that support hillary, anyway) think this man has some shred of decency...go figure

she is the ultimate policy wonk
in all this policy wonking, did she mention those so-called windfall profit taxes would be offset by the subsidies the oil companies already get?

and why do they keep insisting on calling it universal health care when what they are talking about is universal health insurance...those are two completely different things...

Better yet, they could call it voluntary socialism (although, under Hillary's program, apparently it would be forced-voluntary).

forget O'Reilly - I watch him for the Democrats they have on, and some of the feature " soft news"

True; i had no idea who Wright was until he popped up.
But when I was exposed to him, i saw enough not to want to hear anymore. If he had apeared to be someone tht i wanted to know more about, i would have listened further.
Obama disowned him. good for him.

PS - both the Obama supporters who critiqued Hillary's interview had high praise for her. Fair and balanced of them. props.

She get's me going like Obama does you guys.
She is a fighter for the middle class.

She didn't. good point. I would have liked her to specifically mention that.

I do believe both Obama and her have already called for that?
It was a pretty fast paced interview, so not every detail could be hashed out.
she was focusing on WTO actions to combat OPEC price fixing.
she said 9 of the top 13 OPEC countrys are part of the WTO.

She was talking about using the windfall to replace the money lost for the gas tax holiday.
Beyond that, it wasn't covered either way what would happen with the rest of the wiindfalls tax.

That's fine but after yesterday and Obama completely distancing himself it doesn't give them much to go on. It was much easier when they were all attacking him on the fact that he wouldn't denounce him.

Black_Knight is going down hill
The only part I saw was the segments they aired on CNN for Michael Moore to dissect.

Liked his anecdote at how he'd make O'Reilly pay 70% income tax.
