Hillary is more likely to choose Obama than vice versa
On the question about an Obama-Clinton or a Clinton-Obama ticket, Barack handled it very diplomatically but said it would be presumptuous to say at this time. I doubt that he would ask Hillary to be on the ticket if he were the winner. However, I think Hillary would be more inclined to ask Obama to be her Vice President. What a ticket !!!

2. Obama can't have her on the ticket
He needs someone like Webb

3. Hillary should cut the O'cord
I'd rather see a Clinton/Edwards ticket.

4. Are you sure of that?
Whoever it is they will be globalists.

9. Heard Tweety talk about Edwards As Labor Sec.....What a great idea that would be
If the next Dem admin. really put someone as qualified and committed as Edwards in that role if he would take it ( vs. a union buster....)

Man that made me misty to even think about it !

19. He will only be as effective as the President would allow
If the President is a globalist (or either party) union issue are null and void. Brings tears to my eyes too.

6. Concur. Why would she leave the Senate? She can do more as a Senator
than VP, and she's not running for Prez at sixty eight.

Obama, OTOH, could use the eight years to solidify a presence on the world stage and become a player that spans the decades and puts his mark on an era. He's still young enough that he'd STILL be young in eight years. He could use the time to kick those cigarettes and put on some weight, too.

8. Hillary as Senate Majority Leader.
She would be a hell of a lot better than the one we have now.

16. It's a lot of work, that job. And she's more into policy than 'mechanics' nt

11. She would NEED him to try to get the Black voters back. He doesn't need her.
And if she DID win and asked him, he should refuse and run against her in 4 years.

20. What will happen to the Obama campaign when the
scandal hits the media? They picked him to lose?

15. Obama was the first to answer that queston, & I think he handled the answer to it perfectly
Both of them are way too sharp to mishandle a tough question like that. A dream ticket wasn't agreed upon, nor was it ruled out. They are two classy candidates.

18. Obama's not a big enough man to ask Hillary to be on the ticket if he wins. nt
