Why do they call a Clinton/Obama ticket 'the dream team'?

[Inspired]

Am I the only one that feels a little nauseous when hearing of this scenario?

[MonkeyFunk]

1. Because it would unite Dems

and trounce McCain.

The big problem our party has right now is one ANY party would wish to have - we have two very formidable candidates. The Republicans couldn't scrape together one.

[frogcycle]

7. that, and

it is the only conceivable way out of this mess without somebody really bloody and a probable muckain victory

oh, except for my suggestion re finessing the convention, but nobody seems to like it

[Inspired]

12. I don't know about that.

I think many will view this as a phony display of unity between 2 people who hate each other. I would vote for it of course but my vote isn't the one that we need to worry about.

I can see the McCain campaign ads now. I'm telling ya'.....it would be a recipe for disaster.

[MonkeyFunk]

14. They don't hate each other

People here believe they do, but they're politically naive.

Politicians don't take this stuff personally. Plus, it doesn't matter even if they DO hate each other - you think Kennedy and Johnson were buds? Reagan and Bush? Nah... if it helps the ticket, they'll do it.

[Inspired]

18. Oh, but they do take it personally. They are just trained to not admit it.

They are only human after all.

[MonkeyFunk]

19. I've seen nothing to indicate

they hate each other.

I know people here would like to believe they do, but it's just not true.

2. Gore Lieberman!

All the way!

3. to quote George Carlin (speaking of the American Dream):

"because you have to be asleep to believe it."

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

4. Because It Would Excite The Masses More Than Any Ticket In History, And Lead To Guaranteed Victory.

I'd say that's a pretty damn good reason, despite your gastric troubles.

5. Barack would be an awful VP candidate in the GE

We’ve all seen how his campaign crumbled under the slightest criticisms. He’s too weak and inexperienced plus he's polarizing.

[Inspired]

15. I don't think Obama should be on a Clinton ticket but not for the reasons you state.

Sorry.

[moobu2]

6. Self Deleted

[enough already]

8. It's a 'dream' because Hillary only sees herself on top

It's just another attempt from her campaign to tell minorities they should settle for 2nd best.

[lapfog_1]

9. Right now, for Hillary and many of her supporters...

it's the only way she can come out of this on the ticket.

I don't think she adds anything to the Democratic ticket as VP... Obama is going to need someone with that 3am experience to balance the ticket... that's not Hillary.

Maybe Clark, maybe Biden, maybe even a Webb, but not Hillary.

Mostly, Hillary is using this line in Mississippi with black voters... "don't reach too high now, Obama can be a good house nig.., err, VP, yeah... so if you vote for me, I'll put him on the ticket, so it's really like voting for BOTH of us... besides you know what happens to uppity ..., err, black leaders in the south"

[Inspired]

13. I know that tactic very well and I agree with you. n/t

[GoldieAZ49]

10. Because it is only possible in a dream

not reality

They are opposite, they both think they should be on the top of the ticket, (and so far O is, but H positions herself publicly like she is) there are hard feelings there now, and it is going to get worse.

Dream on, as the song goes.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. How are they opposite?

they agree on 99% of things.

Don't let the echo chamber of DU color your view of reality.

11. Should be the "nightmare team"

Put Hillary with anyone and the repugs will come out in masses to defeat her. Then the McLame nightmare begins and lasts four years.

[IDemo]

17. Thanks for that lead-in

At least the Nightmare Ticket can be dismissed now

[greguganus]

21. Didn't see your post. I agree with you 100 percent! n/t

[DemVet]

20. Because only in a dream will it happen. n/t

[LostInAnomie]

22. Anything that given Hillary even a whiff of the presidency would be a nightmare.

We need to be rid of her.

[featherman]

23. Not happening in the real world.... just media filler in the 24 hour

news cycle.

[JackORoses]

24. because it's Hillary's only shot at achieving her lifelong dream

Kick her to the curb! She deserves nothing.

[DearAbby]

25. Well hey...guess ya'll figure a GD Damn speech

is experience enough for Vice President. Clinton already told us how she feels, McCain would be her choice. After all, if you're gonna vote...vote for the people with the experience...Ya'll remember that?

I dont know if I can forget it, the god's honest truth.

[SoCalDem]

26. Because the HRC people know that's the only way they can win

She needs him..

he does not need her
