Do you want to see the Dream Ticket?

[Renew Deal]

Poll question: Do you want to see the Dream Ticket?

Do you want to see Clinton\Obama or Obama\Clinton? I don't want to know if you want to see one or the other.

[NightWatcher]

1. it wont happen. My dream ticket ....Obama Gore

[BlackVelvet04]

11. You think Al Gore....

the ex-vice president of the united states should be the number 2 man for a rookie senator?

[jackson_dem]

2. No. I want to beat McCain. We need a strong ticket to do that

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. The are diametrically opposed. Can't even imagine either of

them wanting to be with the other. Not Hillary - she wouldn't want to be upstaged in the charisma category. Not Obama - she's too much a part of the system he wants to change.

[hedgehog]

4. I don't see it as workable either way. The Clintons would freeze Obama out

as they did Gore or else he'd be constantly pulling a knife out of his back!

[Renew Deal]

6. A lot of Democrats want it.

I talk to people all the time that ask me if they'll run together.

[jenmito]

19. I bet they all want Hillary as president. I want OBAMA to be president and he sure doesn't need

Hillary (and Bill) as his VPs. He could choose another woman like Barbara Boxer or a guy like Jim Webb. Hillary's not on my list at all.

[Renew Deal]

22. It's a mixed bag.

Half of them are Obama supporters.

[jenmito]

31. The half who are Obama supporters want Hillary as his VP?

I can't imagine that.

[Renew Deal]

36. Not all of them. but you have to consider they're not as insanne as DUers.

They don't know about all the infighting. They just like all the candidates.

[DiamondJay]

5. the question is will moderates middle-americans accept it

i still wonder if this is too much change for one ticket. I think America is ready for one of them at a time, but not two.

[Renew Deal]

7. I agree with this view.

I wonder if it's "too much" for people to deal with.

[DiamondJay]

24. also a distraction

and there is not doubt if it happened, no one woudl notice the issues, just their sex and skin color.

[AtomicKitten]

8. Hillary needs Obama -- Obama doesn't need her.

I oppose a combined ticket. I want real change.

[jgraz]

30. What do you mean? Hillary can bring something to the table that Obama can never hope to have

Ultra-high negatives. :evilgrin:

[AtomicKitten]

33. well played, sir

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. No. Not anymore. n/t

[paulk]

10. I would bet on it

either way, I think that will be the ticket.

[Hippo_Tron]

12. If it wins in November then I'd like to see it

But lets face it. If Clinton loses in November, and Obama isn't on the ticket, he'll be the frontrunner four years from now.

I certainly hope that doesn't happen because I don't think we can afford four years of McLame.

[RoadRage]

13. Other..

I'd vote for this ticket, but as an Obama supporter - i'd rather not see it.

First, if it had to be - i want him on the top of the ticket.

Second, if Hillary is the Presidential Nom, I want Obama as far away as possible. He wouldn't really be "Vice President". He'd be "Vice Vice President" under Bill.. sorry, that's the way i'd see it. And, any scandal that breaks out if she's on top will embroil Obama, thus reducing his chances of a successful bid on his own in 2012 or 2016.

Talk about a group wanting to beat the "hope" out of you.. and pound in the same-line thinking.. the Clintons can do that with their eyes closed.

Run Obama Run.. far away from this.

[Catchawave]

14. Uncommitted voter again ...sigh...

Gore/Edwards, Edwards/Gore ? My dream team :toast:

[ZinZen]

15. Not going to happen

[JoePhilly]

16. Only on DU does this ticket lose. nt

[Renew Deal]

17. Yup

And it's a rare chance at unity.

[closeupready]

18. I agree. I think it would be such a winning ticket.

And I can see a Hillary/Obama ticket happening, but not an Obama/Hillary ticket.

[Alexander]

20. Neither one has anything to offer the other.

Both are relatively inexperienced Senators from blue states. They will both want a red state VP with lots of foreign policy experience.

[JoePhilly]

25. I think that may be the OLD math ....

What I mean is that we ALWAYS try to balance the ticket in some way. That's what got us Lieberman as Gore's running mate. And Edwards was not enough to help Kerry over the top.

The turn out that each generates is the difference this time ... if they could generate this ticket ... Barack's folks would turn out ... knowing that he'd be well positioned for the next 8 years.

And I'm greddy .... McCain has 4 years, tops ....

I want the next 16 years.

[Jamastiene]

21. Fair enough...

as long as she's in the driver's seat. :P

[maximusveritas]

23. The problem is that the Republicans would ignore Obama

and focus solely on Clinton. And I'm not confident enough in the people running the Clinton campaign to fight against that.

[Hoof Hearted]

32. Let them ignore him then while he goes around the country making powerful speeches and pulling the

rug out from under them.

John McCain is going to walk away with his ass in his hat. The only question we have to work out is who gets the honor of handing it to him.

Oh! I have a new tag line!

[DutchLiberal]

26. It's not a dream ticket.

[insanity]

27. Obama/Richardson?

[Guava Jelly]

28. I love the way you think

:thumbsup:

[Hoof Hearted]

29. Yes I would, very much. It would simply be undeniable, imo.

And I would be happy to accept either of them on the topside, even though I would favor Clinton.

[nonconformist]

34. Well, I wouldn't mind it that much, but I wonder if too many bridges have been burned

For that to really come about.

I also think that both of them need to have someone with a military background on their ticket to be competitive in November. Wes Clark comes to mind.

But if they could come together and heal the rifts in the party, and unite all Democrats together, that would be a wonderful thing.

[Whisp]

35. that's no dream ticket. that's a nightmare one.

no clintons, please.

[ecstatic]

37. Of course. Real dems are proud of both choices nt

[Azathoth]

38. No. If I thought Hillary on the ticket was a good idea, I would vote for her in the primary n/t

[sandnsea]

39. Not if we're going to clean up Washington

Hillary has never advocated for real campaign finance or real open government. Her ties to Indian businessmen alone should tell you she's got no intention on changing the system.

[Kazak]

40. Gore/Kucinich?

Oh...

:shrug:

[bigwillq]

41. I would support either of those options

At this point, that's basically what it comes down to. Obama and Clinton will be our nominee and I fully intend to support them in Nov.
