This could be the most amazing, most memorable and inspiring debate in history if:
Hillary Clinton turns to Obama midway through the debate and says:

CLINTON: Senator Obama, after hearing you debate I think I understand why the American people have embraced you. I am officially conceding the race, and I'll be honored to be your running mate if you would have me.

**The room is so silent you can hear a pin drop. Then the excited whispering begins as the audience scrambles to decode what they've just heard.**

RUSSERT: (A little shaken up) Congratulations Obama, you are now the first African American to win the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Will you take Senator Clinton up on her offer to be your running mate?

OBAMA: Absolutely!

**Then Clinton and Obama clasp their hands together and raise them high.**

RUSSERT: Ladies and gentleman, the Dream Ticket is now official: Senator Obama and Senator Clinton will be running together on the same ticket for President and Vice President of the United States!!

**The crowd goes crazy...**

1. Arrogance like that is not going to unite the party.
Let the voters decide.

3. you had me there for a while, till the runningmate part.
Obama should keep her as far the fuck away from his administration as possible. How could he trust that treacherous goat?

30. Ya, for a while I tried to talk to people....
Now I just started hitting ignore, tired of the negativity. You'd think Hillary was a Republican for 30 years. I'm not even a huge Hillary or Obama backer, just the whole thing is starting to really bother me.

17. Reconciliation would be a hell of a lot better than fireworks...
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 05:46 PM by RiverStone
Though not near as fun!

I doubt they would do the running mate part, tho I'd be thrilled if she conceded tonight that the people have spoken and Obama will be the nominee.

I'd be surprised if that happened, but it would be great for the party and our party's chance to immediately begin to reunify and focus on that war mongering puke McCain.

18. yeah, in other words...
Hillary turns to Obama and goes "Barack, I've ridiculed you, slimed you, called you foolish and irrational and a peddler of false hopes. Now that you've beaten me in 11 straight contests I want you to name me your VP. How about it?"

22. That would be memorable for sure
But it ain't gonna happen.

Hills dropping out and conceding is a fairly foregone conclusion at this point. But it won't be that way and won't be for another week at least.

And I think that Obama having Hillary as his running mate would be the first truly stupid move of their campaign.

27. Noooooooooooooooooooooo
I do not want Obama to choose Hillary. I am sure he does not want to choose her either.
She stands for everything he is resisting in Washington. He will choose a white male with
a military background. That will strengthen his support with independent men and blunt
the charges McCain will throw his way about lack of international or military experience.
