It Is In Obama's Best Interest To Put Hillary On The Ticket.

its very clear that obama cant win this election without hillary, people can be so hipacritical. they chewed her up and spit her out when she was in the running, and now the only way he can win is with her aboard, if your not ready for a female president guess what your not ready for obama as ppresidant either, thats my opinion and i stick buy, i am still debating if i want to vote,im just so digusted with this whole thing..

It's not really as simple as that. Hill and Bill both have alot of baggage. She also might end up getting more attention that Barack. I think she would be hard to control. She might be the best choice,but I think that Obama is doing the right thing by giving serious consideration to other candidates. I don't think he will pick her unless he feels he has to.

I have to respectfully disagree. Putting a Clinton on the ticket would bring a whole new dimension to the campaign that Obama doesn't need. Obama won the Democratic Primary by staying on message, and not attacking. The Clinton's are notorious for attacking and mudslinging. Furthermore, bring on the Clinton's also brings back the Establishment. Obama is one of the rare political types that has managed to distance himself from Washington. His "Change we can Believe In" mantra doesn't happen to mention that he has been a part of a Democratically controlled Congress for the past couple of years. He has been able to distance himself. Summing up, bring the Clinton's on board brings along too much baggage.

Well,I think that he cannot win without Hillary's support,Obama carries alot of baggage himself and he should consider her for a post in his cabinet.To ignore her and her supporters won't help his bid for the presidency.

but there is a problem of hillary over shadowing obama... probably roles have to be defined... i dont think obama is interested in that!!! he can win without her!!

Yes, it is to his advantage to put Clinton on the ticket, though this will probably not happen. You can watch any news channel and they report that the votes in the primaries were CLEARLY divided demographically. For example, Clinton received the majority of votes from older whites while Obama received more votes from younger whites. These patterns remained constant in the primaries. Also, 18 million votes is a large chunk (Clinton supporters), especially when many of those voters have vowed that they will not vote for Obama in November. Without Clinton on the ticket, it is not impossible for Obama to win the election, but his job will be MUCH harder. Plus, as a Clinton supporter, I think Obama will get a wake-up call if he takes office and realize he is too inexperienced and isn't able to do all the things he had hoped to do. He will need someone like Clinton or else, it's another four years of the same empty promises we have been getting from politicians.

i think both obama and clinton have their own following. to combine the two will maximize the potential number of votes for the democratic party. there may be some clinton's supporters who will not vote for obama for some reasons, a majority of her supporters will favor her choice and decision. as they say, election is about addition.

No, as much as I like Hillary I don't think its a good idea for Obama to have her as a vicepresident, however he should apoint her somewhere on his cabinet or something, Hillary and Bill are two good people to have on your team when you are trying to win an election
