1. No
Any chance of a Clinton in the white house = independents flock to republicans, some democrats vote republican, and some people who don't vote come out just to vote against Hillary.

People on here underestimate just how divisive Clinton is. I really think she has little to no chance in the general election. And it's sad that people won't realize this until it's too late.

2. My thoughts:
This song I started writing last night is coming along pretty good, but due to the election stuff, I can't seem to get past the 1 minute mark.

3. It cannot be. Sad, but true.
Obama is not the sort to take 2nd billing, and neither is Hillary. They are each going for the gold. If Obama doesn't get the nomination, he'll probably go back to the senate and run again in the future. He's young enough.

Besides, it wouldn't be a great ticket, anyway, probably. They will need a white male, preferably someone with gravitas or military experience, from the west or south.

But never say never.

4. That ticket would probably win, but they are both Type A Personalities.......
They'd never be able to agree on which of them would get top billing.

Also, even if Sen. Clinton would agree to VP billing, how comfortable would Sen. Obama be knowing that his VP spent lots of time with the previous occupant of his office? I could never get comfortable with that!
