Hillary/Obama ticket could work........an Obama/Hillary ticket never in a million years

[Herman Munster]

I can see Hillary offering Obama the job as a simple pragmatic decision. Black folk are pissed at her and Bill. Offering Obama the VP would be a token of good faith and instantly repair most, if not all, the damage and bring a united and energized party to battle the republicans.

But Obama would never offer Hillary VP in a million years and Hillary would never accept in a million years.

Aside from the fact that it would be insulting and demeaning to Hillary to have to answer to the new kid on the block with a couple years experience as her boss.....

It would be a circus freak show! The media and republicans would constantly question who really is the president. Is It Obama? Is it Hillary? Is it Bill pulling both their strings?

Way too many distractions and it completely distorts and make a mockery of his change message to boot.

1. Obama/Sebelius? Do you like it, Herman?

I do. :)

[Herman Munster]

5. I think Obama/Biden would be better

He needs someone with a lot of foreign policy experience to give him gravitas. He has the same issues Bush did in 2000. He needs an elder statesman. Unlike Cheney though, Biden is sane.

7. Obama/Biden is a good ticket. Let's support it!

[maddiejoan]

17. Biden/Obama

would be better.

14. Move one state east.

Claire Macaskill is clearly lobbying for #2.

[thunder rising]

2. Well let's just see where the election takes us first ... 'K?

[ecstatic]

3. well, the age issue would be the most problematic, IMO

Hillary is 60+. Her time to be president, if any, would have to be now.

[aquart]

4. Not for me.

She'd never be able to turn her back on him for fear of the knife.

6. WTF? n/t

[GoldieAZ49]

8. Hillary can put her token where Bill will never find it

Obama would be a sell out if he had anything to do with the Clintons. It would be political suicide.

9. insulting and demeaning to Hillary? WTF are you drinking?

[jenmito]

10. Puleeeease. You think the Clintons get to destroy him and then USE him to make an accetable ticket?

HELL NO!

[MoonRiver]

16. First, the Clintons are not "destroying" Obama. Give me a break.

Second, who gave you the authority to speak for him?

[jenmito]

19. They turned him into a "Black candidate" with their constant references to drug dealing/selling,

going to a Madrassa, saying his middle name, saying MLK couldn't have realized his dream without LBJ, saying he had false hope, etc., forcing him off his path to address their smears.

I'm giving my opinion. And I believe/hope he wouldn't take it, and if he did, many people would stay home in disgust with the Clintons' "nerve" to destroy him then use him for their benefit-to try to get the Black vote back.

[MoonRiver]

20. The Clintons never referenced any of that regarding Obama.

Regarding MLK, from what I understand, it was that he and LBJ worked together to further civil rights.

There's nothing nefarious in anything the Clintons have done regarding Obama's race. IMHO of course.

11. I gotta better idea - Edwards/Obama or Obama/Edwards.

[lucasbaiano]

12. its time for change

America truly needs Hillary

[laugle]

13. I think it's too early to tell. The problem I have with a

Hillary/Obama ticket is that if we don't think he is qualified to be president, how can we put him in the number 2 position. Also, we have to assume he would be ready in 8 years to be president and win. Again, it's one big ??? for me.......

I too have thought about how it could unite the dems, but is that the most important thing for us??

It seems that the VP should be someone equally qualified, i.e., Wesley Clark come to mind...

Besides the public has a short memory and after the primary is over, I think most reasonable people will unite to defeat the rethugs.

The stakes are way to high, and the alternative is UNTHINKABLE!!

[avaistheone1]

15. Neither Obama/Hillary or HIllary/Obama -

These two can't get along for 10 minutes.

People either love or hate each one of this duo. They are both too polarizing on their own.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

18. It's hard to even picture since there's such a difference in their lightweight/ heavyweight status

[milkyway]

21. I agree with much of what you say, but Obama could turn down VP and run against

her in 2012 after most people are sick of the Clintons. Buyers remorse will probably be a very common sentiment by then.

[mac56]

22. The GOP is salivating over either a Hillary or Obama candidacy.

They're absolutely wetting their pants over the prospect of a combined ticket.

[NJObamaWoman]

23. Oh please it would be demeaning as well to black people if she did that.

So HRC's camp can demean us by not standing up to racial injustice when her pollster said that Latinos wont vote for a black man. But by giving Obama the VP thats suppose to make everything OK? Oh please WTF ever.

Offer him the position because she thinks that he can get things done. Don't do it to appease black people.
