Clinton & Hillary Ticket?

Well, one of them is going to loose the nomination for the Democratic ticket. Currently it is a one-some game. After one wins, the one-some game can become a one-one game with the looser joining forces with the winner to win the presidency. * Obama wins the Democratic nomination, he collects looser Hillary and nominates her vice president and she still keeps half her dream instead of loosing it entirely. * Hillary wins, she nominates the charismatic Obama as her running mate, and he keeps his half-a-dream. * Two democrats trounce the single Republican? Makes political sense from a Democratic point of view...

While on paper it looks and sounds good, you are not taking into account that McCain still has to choose a VP. Should he go with someone like Condi Rice, Mike Pence, or Tom Coburn, he will bring back a large portion of the Conservative bloc that will not be voting for him. A popular VP selection and McCain would be back on a more level plane with the two super-liberals. However, once again, I think the ego's of both the Democrats will be enough to preclude them from taking a #2 slot. Senator Clinton has never stood #2 to anyone, and I don't see it happening now.

Well, you may be right...we will have to see. I am just really worried about that powder keg in the middle east...

Her war vote concerns me, even though she claims that she wasn't given all the facts when she voted for the invasion of Iraq.

Clinton and Obama. Yes, if I wrote Clinton & Clinton, me is bad! * The two of them together would be a political hurricane, they would have a better chance together than going it singularly.

Hides

[b][/b][i][/i]No, you wrote Clinton and Hillary

We've already had a number of rules broken, such as a black and a female running successful campaigns. You are right about that. McCain is the only 'conventional' bird in the flock!

Obama does however have the Charisma to draw the masses of the nation, and Hillary the experience, so if they can work as a team they can be effective as one. * McCain's war views concern me greatly, as I don't think this nation has the resources for an extended war that he discusses. So do his close ties to President Bush. We are already beyond over extended militarily, and a general draft isn't an answer as that provides an under-qualified solder. *

The Democrats can't just take it for granted that the Republican party is a lame duck despite all the damage done it by Bush & Chaney. McCain is a good politician but I am concerned that he is stuck in the horrid past of his captivity, and an attack on Iran in our current state of vulnerability would be a disastrous misstep. Iran is fully capable of fighting a gorilla war, an arena we aren't good at as the Vietcong showed us...

I don't see why you feel it wouldn't. Honestly, I would love for both of them to be in office. I didn't vote in Texas primaries because I am hearing them both. They want the same things. They both want to end the war, same outlooks on healthcare and employment basically, the only difference is one is a white woman (whom I loved when Bill was in office), and one is a black man (who has very strong intentions). Either way it goes, history is going to be made.

Well, whatever happens to the looser, he will not just go poof. (Or she for that matter.) Al Gore is a case in point. Gore has a great deal of influence on world and national politics even though he lost to Bush in the Presidential elections thanks to that film of his, "An Inconvenient Truth."

Maybe, then maybe not. Bill could still have power as 'first gentleman' because he's stuck his foot in it during the campaign. He needs to hide a bit. He does however know how to read the direction the wind is blowing.

The problem of health care is leaving the uninsured to suffer means it costs more to treat advanced ills rather than prevent them early. Besides, the Iraq war is bleeding far more than any health care plan. Bush's spending outweighs any Democrat's largess.

I have no arguement with the idea of covering people who are uninsured/under insured. Preventive measures means alot more then an emergency room visit! And Iraq? That is an expense we can do without but not in a 'surrender and run' tactic. The problem that I have is who will be covered? All Americans? Even the 'guest workers'? And the sum of the equation is...do you really what a system that wastes thousands of dollars purchasing hammer and toilet seats run a blank check book on health care? What is your view on the Mexico fence and illegals?

Frankly, the over priced toilets are a cover for some kind of black ops spending. * The situation in Iraq is simply a quagmire to get at the oil, it has nothing whatsoever to do with people much less the Iraqis. It may be a launch pad into Iran God forbid! * I would like to see all American citizens covered medically. * I don't know how I feel about the guest workers themselves. That is a sticky mess made by exploitive corporations. We need to do something about the exploiters, then the illegal problem will sort itself out. * As far as the Mexico fence, my main worry about that border is what is coming in alongside all the Mexicans. Not all of them are Mexican. Some are Al-Qaeda and Hamas and they look Mexican to the untrained eye. They take the trouble to learn Spanish or Spanglish and adopt Mexican ways to blend with the Mexican population thus hiding themselves.

Maybe...I know that Obama has Charisma and Hillary experience. We sure do need someone good to get out of this mess!

Hahahaha, just for that it would be worth it! Those red necks would be choking on their hemorrhoids!

I am deeply concerned about this nation...not bored. Iraq is both a physical and financial blood bath that may yet put this nation into a depression if we are not most careful!

I don't remember how long it's been sense the President has ever really ran anything alone, with the possible exception of Bush and he badly! Usually the President turns to advisers and is in a crux of the House & Congress. Bush just chose to ignore everyone...except his VP.

Agreed, I think Clinton is realist enough to want to pack heat against the Republicans.

One is going to loose. That is the fact. You can't have two presidents, two Democratic nominees. * Someone is going to be kicked to the curb. The curb sitter is the one who will be the one who will be VP. That's what I am thinking...and the curb sitter will be the realist, taking the offer for VP spot, the winner wanting the Presidency sure shot, and being another realist, will take the curb sitter up, and let the hurricane begin.

Both, especially Hillary, are politically aware. The looser here would want the chance of keeping half a dream alive rather than loose the whole bag.

I will bet Euros to doggie crappers that some of those spats are arranged to get hairy eyeballs on the TV sets of America. Conflict makes for excellent drama in what otherwise could be pretty dry political stuff. * Good grief, the Democrats (especially Obama) even got You Tube kiddies in the act! * You Tube ~ http://youtube.com/results?search_query=obama+kids&search_type=

Another Republican would lead to a glass parking lot or two somewhere on this planet! Your right about that. Bush has already led us to a Recession this side of the Second Great Depression!
