What do you guys think? Do not make this a thread of personal attacks. I just want to know if you guys think this is a smart ticket if it was to happen...

I am completely unsure.. part of me says a white woman and black male together is very difficult to nominate. what do you guys think?

1. Yes. An Obama and Clinton ticket would be unbeatable.
Although I can see the Repukes doing Driving Miss Daisey commercials.

20. Hillary/Obama would mean 16 years of unmitigated progressive
policies. This is the best of all worlds, I pray that humility and clear thinking will prevail and give us Clinton/Obama 08 and 12 followed by Obama/? in 16 and 20.

2. The GOP will run McCain/Rice against that ticket.
Hoping somehow Condi will counter both Barack and Hillary.
"Lookit us! We got a black and a woman, all rolled into one! And McCain's wicked old, wink wink, nudge nudge.."

6. As long as she keeps the subject on Soviet potato crops of the 1960s,
Condi will kick ass. :hi:

4. I'm no expert, but my sense is it would absolutely be an unbeatable ticket.
:woohoo:

8. yes
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 10:18 AM by librechik
will Obama do the right thing and take the Cheney role? Ladies first!

Frankly, I'd give a lot to have a guy like Barack only with magical fairy dust Cheney powers and a shotgun. In a Darth Vader helmet.
Invading the Justice Dept to hand out pink slips. And then in 2016, he could be President!

Edwards would be better, whaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Forgive me, it's early and no coffee.

10. It would easily win the primary, but would have a hard time in the general election against McCain

15. Either should beat him, but I am not sure; it seems to me independents would
favor McCain. We need to get a handle on independent voters concerns (war, health care, jobs). Maybe its better than I think as far as leaning our way.

16. It would be unbeatable
A wonderful ticket. I don't like either of them that much, together they are more acceptable.
Those who think the GOP would run Rice for VP are not thinking about Condi's personal life, which has gone uninspected, but is in fact not GOP friendly.

18. Timothy McVeigh (Republican and NRA member) types will be coming out of the walls.

Right-Wing domestic terrorists have been pretty quiet during Bush's reign, because their kind of guy was in power. No matter which Democrat is elected, they'll be back.

25. My Republican brother in South Carolina thinks Clinton/Obama would be unstoppable.
He told me this THREE MONTHS ago. "It would be the hardest ticket for the Republicans to run against. The Republicans would lose."
