I will say this: I am 100% sure Barack Obama will be on the ticket
2 things will either happen

1) Obama goes on and wins outright

2) Hillary grinds him down in the big super tuesday states and with the superdelegates, but she comes out badly damaged and the party is fractured. As a compromise and for the good of the party, Obama gets the VP slot and accepts. It will be a marriage of convienence like Reagan/Bush in 1980 but he will give it his all for the good of the country.

1. If this party fractures
I don't believe that even a compromise can fix it.

2. I agree. Either Obama wins the nomination, or he's Hillary's VP. n/t

4. Agreed.
There's no way he's not on the ticket...provided he would settle for VP if he doesn't get the nomination.

6. If Hillary wins the nomination she will need Obama with her
why? AA had their first real shot at this and they are our biggest base of support and if he isn't on the ticket a lot of them will be disillusioned and while they won't vote Republican a lot of them might decide not to vote at all. Yep, if it's Hillary she will have to take on Obama.

7. I very much doubt there would be a ticket with both Hillary and Obama
Edited on Mon Jan-07-08 11:32 PM by notmyprez
If either one of them wins the nomination, I believe he or she would absolutely have to choose a white man for VP. I think there are too many people in this country who absolutely would not vote for a ticket without a white man on it. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying this is what I think would happen.

9. If Clinton loses out in the early states and Obama doesn't get the nomination
looking at how popular he is...there will be a MAJOR outcry. Especially if it comes across that Obama was screwed.
