I like the way you think. But I wonder if their feelings might be a little to tender after the election bitterness. Obama wants Gore for working on Global warning. That's a no brainer. I hope they fill the cabinet with strong leaders. That would be the Obama advantage maybe. i don't know what Hillary would do with people challenging her all the time. She's older than me and if I can guess based on me. She has no patience left.

High Standards and LOW expectations. That's what keeps me balanced. I hope she still has patience. She's shown an awful lot with her husband you know.. I just hope that people are not so set on one or the other that they vote republican instead. Now that would be biting of the nose to spite the face after all. We need a democrat and a very blue congress to match. That would be a first time.

I want to protect entitlement thereby assisting with the economy it's all one thing!

PS I love your perfect world it's pretty close to MY perfect world!

hehe I totally agree with your suggestion..EXCEPT that Obama should pick Clinton as his VP since he mostly likely will be the democratic nominee. They would be a winning ticket, actually anyone could beat a republican at this point. Bye Bye Bush..lol

Maybe. If he weren't WINNING! Why should the person who IS going to be the Democratic nominee take second place to the woman who can't even run a campaign halfway decently?

It's a nice idea to elect a woman... or a black man... for the sake of them being female or black... but it's just too bad that NEITHER of them is qualified to be the Chief Executive of the United States Government and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

(For the record, I don't like McAmnesty's bid for the office, either, but at least he can command the military)

personally i am all about it. which ever one wins the nomination should take the other as vice president. and in an ideal world this would happen
however humans are far from ideal and have serious ego problems
No wonder buddhists see ego as the really bad part of humans

Would be awesome, will never happened, too many large egos involved...I'm very disgusted with Hillary right now, but I still think she'd do a good job.

I don't think Shrillery would play second fiddle to Obama but Obama would take a VP role to Shrillary. Of course, that's if she doesn't just bash him all to pieces the way she tends t do.

Why would Obama want to do that considering he's going to win the nomination?

Since you live 3000 miles from Hans' house, you must have pretty sharp hearing!

I think Obama will win the nomination, and the point will be moot. If he does win the nomination, I don't think Hillary is the best choice for VP due to the fact that a significant portion of the voting public hate her (rightly or wrongly). I think Richardson is a possibility, but there are many others, too.

On the other hand, if Clinton wins, I think she pretty much has to go with Obama as VP. If she wins, I think it'll have to be through superdelegates, and that will make it look like (again, rightly or wrongly) she stole the nomination. That would piss off a lot of Obama supporters, myself included, and making Obama VP would be the only way to get many of those votes back. This is especially true with a middle-of-the-road Republican like McCain, who many Democrats could stomach as President.

Of course, I'm also not convinced that Hillary would beat McCain in a general election, again due to the fact that so many people have such a strong dislike of her. My sister is a perfect example; She is moderate tending conservative, but she likes Obama and HATES Hillary, even though it could be argued that Obama is more liberal than her.

It should also be noted that this is all opinion and I could be talking out of my figurative ass.

While there is talk that an Obama/Clinton as well as a Clinton/Obama ticket would be a "dream ticket", I venture to say that it would be a dream ticket....a "bad dream ticket". I don't think the dems will win it that way. Just a gut feeling I guess. I have no idea who Clinton should run as her VP should she get the nom. I think a possibility could be Obama/Richardson though. I do think that Edwards will be in a dem white house is some post.
