Obama/Clinton Ticket Can't Lose

[JimmyJubes]

The first Black President and the First Woman Vice President would be a landslide and given the alternative I think only the racists would vote for Insane In The McCain. And even they have to go to the gas pump so it might be a shutout.
It really is a win/win for both so I hope that it will be the ticket.


I posted this in the wrong forum sorry ---but now it is in the right one.

1. Yeah you needed to post is over on MyDD

[BayouBengal07]

2. No.

Imagine dragging this soap opera out through the length of the election. It would be a media three ring circus. We'd never get to challenge McCain because all the scrutiny would be over how Obama and Clinton beat each other to a pulp and then all of a sudden joined forces (on a change ticket, no less). That would be a nightmare.

3. You can report back to the Mother Ship NO SALE!!!

[greguganus]

4. Michelle has already said Hillary will not be Obama's VP. n/t

[JimmyJubes]

14. She told me

She would think about it.

[rug]

16. She told me she hasn't made up her mind yet.

[grantcart]

31. she told me to wash my hands before dinner

[Kittycat]

5. Sorry - Clinton=same republican tactics as usual.

she couldn't even be a classy winner and answer the phone.

[Neshanic]

6. I would really like that ticket. But I know it's a non-starter.

[curious one]

7. My dear, you are soooo wrong.

[JimmyJubes]

40. well

At least you are nice about it ;)

[backscatter712]

8. Sorry, Clinton needs to be on the sidelines.

She's proved herself completely unworthy for public office.

I will not accept her.

[gabby garcia]

9. never gonna happen.

[City Lights]

10. Return to sender.

How does Obama run as a change candidate with Clinton on the ticket?

[JimmyJubes]

35. actually

It is the best of both worlds because Obama is the change and people were very happy when Bill Clinton was President.

[Richard Steele]

11. That ticket would guarantee a McCain victory.

Obama has enough to overcome with being Black.
He doesn't need the MOST DISLIKED woman in the USA
tossed into his shopping cart.

The Repubs and their Media Outlets have been pushing
Hillary as the Dem Nominee for TWO YEARS...because they
know that she would give them a win in '08.

Now that we didn't FALL FOR IT, they're pushing her as
a VP nominee...because they know that she would give them
a win in '08.

The only CHANCE they have is the desperate hope that we'll
have Hillary on the ticket.

I'm pretty sure Obama isn't that stupid, so our chances remain
excellent and Hillary-free.

[MonkeyFunk]

37. how is it that

she's the most disliked woman in America, yet about as popular as Obama? Is he that hated?

[Richard Steele]

43. She's only "about as popular" with Dems; his approval ratings are twice hers among everyone else.

As you well know.

[PFunk]

12. No

[Hawkeye-X]

13. Thanks for your concern...

Enjoy your pizza!

[SeattleGirl]

15. That ship has sailed.

I'd be very surprised if that happened.

[ima_sinnic]

17. oh--welcome back!

we didn't miss you.

do you take turns with yourself, posting this bullshit idea once each day?

[JimmyJubes]

19. do you take turns

between your crap colored glasses and your glass half empty.

[DemBones DemBones]

18. Sorry, I will not vote for Obama for any office, and many other

Clinton supporters are taking the same position.

No We Won't.

About 16 million people have voted for Hillary Clinton so far, not counting West Virginia. Many of us will only vote for her as the Dem nominee. NO-bama on the ticket. He split the party, despite his talk of Unity.

[GarbagemanLB]

27. So you'll be voting for McCain? I'm sure the guy who called his wife a 'cunt' appreciates

you sitting out the election!

[Hepburn]

20. No Hillary....for ANY reason.

Obama can win and most likely will win ~~ except if he puts Hillary on the ticket.

JMHO

[chapel hill dem]

21. As VP, HRC (& WJC) would act as the President and defy Obama to do anything about it.

He could not fire them, only publicly call for their impeachment. HRC would probably set up Obama with fake documentation of some horrid acts of high crimes and misdemeanors and call for counter-impeachment (new word!).

I think she wants to be POTUS really, really bad.

p.s. she may even try a 25th Amendment play to justify a mutiny.

[MercutioATC]

22. It would be an abomination.

With Clinton's negative numbers, why wouldn't Obama look for better?

[ShortnFiery]

23. NO!

No WAY! HRC is going "scorched earth" ... if she doesn't score the nomination, she will destroy the party trying. :nuke:

[ej510]

24. I am sorry but the racist wikll vote against that ticket anyway.

[Lilith Velkor]

25. As you can see, Limbaugh-addled fuckstains abound in this forum

Bring your hazmat gear.

[Lady-Damai]

26. The same answer like before.

FUCK NO!!!!!

[Stop Cornyn]

28. Fried catfish is delicious. Ice cream is delicious. That doesn't mean that fried catfish ice cream

would be in winning Ben & Jerry's combination.

Obama needs to pick a running-mate to maximize his prospects of winning, and not treat the position as a consolation prize divvied out to the second place finisher in order to assuage her hurt feelings.

[ccharles000]

29. I agree.

[New Dawn]

30. Clinton on the ticket = McCain in the White House

[Eurobabe]

32. Obama loses

Why would he want to have Hill/Bill undermining him for 4-8 years?

Barack, pick a KITE, not a ball and chain!!

[HuffleClaw]

33. and the only one that has a chance of winning

(except for gore)

but with a really big IF

IF the party can heal its self-inflicted wounds which, judging by the behaviour here seems doubtful.

[TexasObserver]

34. untenable for many reasons

not qualified not trustworthy not loyal not clean not dependable

[JimmyJubes]

36. It's nice to see

That there are not the cemented minds here that just say you are stupid if you post an opinion that is contrary to theirs.

[marions ghost]

38. The campaign that Hillary has run

should dispel any such ridiculous notions of a joint ticket. If Obama chose her, I certainly would think a lot less of him.

The M$M is stirring the pot. I also think Hillary wants VP at this point and is pressuring for it. But it's really a bad idea. The Obama campaign will have to figure out some other way to appeal to Hillary's significant constituency.

[JimmyJubes]

39. I take all the negative energy in this forum

And convert it to positive energy.And say y'all don't mean to be hating.

42. whahwhawhat?

I don't get it

[papapi]

44. This won't happen, take my word for it. If it's a female VP then you can find...

,,,plenty of other qualified women in the Democratic Party. Why would Obama choose someone so mired in establishment politics?

[iconicgnom]

45. Obama/Clinton Ticket Can't Win n/t

[papapi]

46. Obama/Boxer, the audacity of '08!

...I'm just saying...

[TheDonkey]

47. "Just Say No"

to Hillary.
