Obama-Clinton 08 or Clinton-Obama 08! Who's with me?

[Danger Mouse]

:D

[Jawja]

1. I am.

It's a winner, either way.

[Danger Mouse]

5. I was really impressed by this debate.

They both were very strong. No nastiness, no pettiness. The mood was friendly and cordial. Wolf Blitzer is an asshole.

[Hill_YesWeWill]

2. I totally am! nt

[557188]

3. Clinton-Obama would be great for 8 years

Then let Obama take over after Hillary's term.

It's a win-win for all of us.

[Danger Mouse]

7. It's a good idea...

since Obama's lack of experience could be considered an issue. What better experience could there be than 8 years as Clinton's VP?
I'm starting to get excited :)

[557188]

16 years baby

Everyone wins!

[indimuse]

36. think about it...

16 NONstoppable years (if not more) of Dem rule(THINK WHAT WE COULD ACHIEVE>>>!)...Our tent would grow enormously by this announcement..THE WORLD WOULD WATCH IN AMAZMENT..what a message of HOPE and CHANGE that would resonate Globally...A true picture of Democracy...works for me...

[Danger Mouse]

40. it makes me a bit tingly, i gotta say.

:)

[Hoof Hearted]

49. The United States as a bastion of hope, fairness, progress, and light in the world again!

AAAaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

What a vision, after such darkness.

[Danger Mouse]

52. Think of the lost respect among the world, regained...

the triumph...an end to the madness...

[Hoof Hearted]

67. It would be a turning point in world history! n/t

[Colobo]

4. Obama/Clinton 08!

Clinton/Obama would be good too.

[RichGirl]

80. I'm happy....

either way!!

[Tatiana]

6. I didn't think there was a chance in hell of that happening.

Now... I think it's a genuine possibility.

[Danger Mouse]

9. I never would've imagined it...

but after tonight...wow!
I think it could happen.

[Tatiana]

I think it's what Kennedy wants too.

It would be good for the party and America. Imagine the votes of their supporters joined together. We could really have a blowout in the general election.

[Danger Mouse]

21. It'd be the perfect way to unite the Obama and Clinton supporters...

in the wake of a divisive campaign.

[NCarolinawoman]

66. My Republican brother in SC told me a Clinton/Obama ticket would be

UNBEATABLE!!! He told me this several months ago. :)

[Danger Mouse]

68. Straight from their mouths...

they're TERRIFIED of the prospect.
the repubs are lukewarm at best about mccain and romney...clinton and obama both generate enthusiasm and have crossover appeal...it has the potential to be a thorough and historic trouncing!

[maddiejoan]

8. Sure!

But ladies first! ;)

[Danger Mouse]

10. I could be happy either way.

I still favor Obama, but Hillary went up a lot in my books with tonight's debates.

[maddiejoan]

22. same with me

but flip it :)

I'll be ecstatic with either as President.

[book_worm]

11. for the first time I can truly envision it.

[Hoof Hearted]

51. Same here! Before tonight I would have NEVER believed it could happen, but now

I'm totally on board!

[ursi]

12. Obama - Clinton so Bill can't take over

[Renew Deal]

13. I don't think you can do either one.

I just don't think it would work. Too much "change."

[Hoof Hearted]

56. On the contrary, I think it would be an unstoppable ticket, the Dem turnout

would break every record there ever was, they would run out of ballots, people would be lined up around the block.

It would be unstoppable. It would be a turning point in the history of the world.

[Danger Mouse]

58. Doesn't it feel great to HOPE again?

[jefferson_dem]

14. The latter better happen if he doesn't win the nom.

:)

[Danger Mouse]

25. I think it'd heal a lot of wounds...

and truly unite the party.

[GoldieAZ49]

15. Obviously neither of them are interested in that

Hillary already has a VP

[DiamondJay]

16. i like it but

think if the GOP comes out with a sex scandal "Hillary cheating on hubby Bill with Barry Obama" that would be kinda funny, but cruel as all hell and ruin us in the south for many reasons, but i love the star power

[Danger Mouse]

19. the GOP will do anything dirty to win.

we can't afford to be afraid of their garbage anymore.
:hi:

[robbedvoter]

17. MSM heads would explode! If only for this reason! But I like it anyway!

They'd be unbeatable!

[demo dutch]

18. Hell YEAH!

[JohnnyLib2]

20. Yessir. (It's so obvious)

[Danger Mouse]

23. I like the phrase 'dream ticket'

:)

[soleft]

24. Proud to vote for either of them

[Hoof Hearted]

26. For the first time tonight I really believe that could work. I believe it could win.

I would work my BRAINS out for that ticket!

[Danger Mouse]

28. Hell yeah, I would be behind it 100%...

proud to vote for it, a historic ticket in dark times!

[Hoof Hearted]

35. Clinton/Obama - Obama/Clinton would be an UNSTOPPABLE freight train

It would break every record in history! I'm totally excited tonight!

[Danger Mouse]

37. Let's see the decrepit McCain or the slimy Mittens stand up to the Hillbama freight train!

It ain't happenin'!

[Hoof Hearted]

45. It makes me all giddy inside just thinking about it.

Hand that guy his slippers and send him to bed NOW.

It would be a landslide of MYTHICAL proportions!


:bounce:


.

[Danger Mouse]

46. The withered McCain cringes in fear!

:hi:

[Geek_Girl]

27. I wouldn't have thought that would have been a good idea, until tonight

They were both pretty amazing together.

[Danger Mouse]

31. They both made a strong point of going after the Republicans...

more than they went after each other.
Both of them sounded MUCH better for it.

[complain jane]

29. I've never been so excited about an election. eom.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

30. I am - EITHER way (I'm a Hillary supporter)

I'd be happy for her to be his VP though!

[Danger Mouse]

34. I hated Hillary up till this debate...

but she impressed me with her strong performance and her ability to keep it clean.
I'll be happy to vote for either of them.

[Jennos20]

32. Sounds good to me

But I prefer Clinton/Obama! Go Dems!

[Hepburn]

33. Could this be why Edwards dropped out???

He is gonna be their atty-gen???

Gawd...after watching tonight's debate, what a TOTALLY winning combination that would be if they were all in DC and running the government!

OMG.....what a dream!

[Sancho]

38. I'm voting for the Democratic candidate!

I'd like to see ANY or ALL the original candidates as part of a new administration.


:dem:

[Lebam in LA]

39. Count Me In

For the 1st time since the beginning of all this I am really excited. Dream Ticket would be unbeatable!!!

[Danger Mouse]

41. I'm getting excited, too, feeling we can have a real contest here!

[Disturbed]

42. Either way would be a smart move by the Dems.

A winning match up either way.

[Zueda]

43. Now that's a fairytale

[mtnsnake]

44. Save room for me dude!

:evilgrin:

[Danger Mouse]

47. I bet Romney and McCain were watching...

and McCain dropped a load in his drawers after hearing Wolf bring it up. Romney undoubtedly wept.
They saw their hopes dashed on the rocks of Hillary/Obama POWER.

[mtnsnake]

55. You betcha the repukes are shittin and weepin. Amen on that

They're gonna have nightmares after tonight

[mzmolly]

48. I think they would rock!

:hi: If we continue to get record turnouts, it just might happen?

[More Than A Feeling]

50. It would definitely be interesting to start creating a tradition

of the Democratic nominee choosing the runner-up as VP.

[in_cog_ni_to]

53. THE PERFECT DEMOCRATIC TICKET and I think they BOTH know that. The repukes would commit suicide!

There's NO way a McCain/ANYONE ticket could beat a Clinton/Obama or an Obama/Clinton ticket. It's impossible.

[Danger Mouse]

54. They HAVE to realize the raw POWER such a ticket would bring to the table.

Obama and Clinton have energized people for the dems in ways we haven't seen in years...together they'd be a force not just to be reckoned with, but to be feared.

[Hoof Hearted]

59. The repukes would commit suicide! *** LOL ****

I truly think it would be a turning point in the history of THE WORLD.

I'm in LOVE with this idea!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Flabbergasted]

57. I'll take it.

[TornadoTN]

60. I would vote for a Hillary/Obama ticket - but would rather have Obama at the top

That's about the only way that I'm really comfortable voting for her. Not saying I won't vote for her in the General but the thought scares me if it comes to that

[Danger Mouse]

63. I think that ticket is a solid bet.

:hi:

[RichGirl]

81. I wouldn't mind having Obama...

on top...tee hee....top, bottom...whatever....

[Omega3]

61. from an Edwards supporter, I'm in!!! Let's take back the WH!!

[Danger Mouse]

62. Take back and keep for a generation to come!

Let's do it!

[ronnykmarshall]

64. All the way!!!

C/O or O/C ..... go for it!

[Danger Mouse]

65. all the way to the whitehouse...

:D

[Tatiana]

71. Could we hit the trifecta?

Clinton and Obama - President & VP
Edwards - Attorney General

[kerry-is-my-prez]

69. sounds good....

n/t

[patrick t. cakes]

70. I think he'd take v.p.

if offered.
cant see hillary happy with the
number two spot.

[totodeinhere]

72. Obama might accept VP, but not Clinton.

Obama would still be in his political prime after eight years of a Clinton/Obama administration. And he knows that in the past 50 years four vice presidents have gone on to become president (five if you count Al Gore in 2000.) So he would have a good chance to become president eventually. Even if the ticket lost in 2008, which I doubt, Obama would almost certainly be the front runner for the nomination in 2012. Of course, Obama wants the top spot on the ticket, but I really believe he'd accept #2.

Clinton on the other hand would be 68 years old in 2012 and I don't think she wants to wait that long for a chance at the presidency. If Obama gets the nomination then her best chance might be to wait to see if he loses the election so that she could run again in 2012. So I don't think she'd accept an offer from Obama to become his VP.

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

73. An unstoppable "Dream Ticket" indeed.

There seemed to be a level of civility tonight I've never seen before. I was very impressed by both Hillary and Barack, and how they approached the issues, and each other. And the nods to Edwards by both were pure class. If the stars were to align for this, it would be a Dem landslide in November. Mark my words.

[MagsDem]

74. Obama needs to stay in Illinois

Obama for nothing, sorry.

[leftynyc]

75. My dream ticket - either way

They're both such great candidates and I really feel that with them and us working together, there's nothing we can't do (or undo as is the case with this administation).

I'd also find a place in the cabinet for the rest of the candidates. I really feel we were incredibly lucky with the field we had.

[Perry Logan]

76. Throw in Edwards, and you've got a deal.

[Meshuga]

77. I don't think Clinton would accept running as vice president

It would be nice and exciting but I can't see it happening.

[sandyj999]

78. That Would Be Fantastic!! n/t

[longship]

79. I'm definitely *not* with you on this.

I just don't see how either of the front runners gains anything by putting the other in as second on the ticket.

Most importantly, ask yourself this question:

How would a Obama/Clinton ticket (or vice-versa) work to bring in Democratic votes from indepedents and those disillusioned Republicans who would not vote for the perceived nominee, McCain, for instance?

The answer is clear. Neither Obama nor Clinton is going to be a Veep nominee because it would not be in either of the candidates best interest.

Look at prominent (and not so prominent) Democrats from the South, the West, or from certain red states. My pick?

Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius. (Not saying it's gonna be her but if Obama takes the nomination, which is becoming increasingly possible, I'd put Sebelius on the short list.)

If Clinton takes the nomination, I'd predict that she'll likely select a male, and it won't be a northerner.

[Sabien]

82. Obama - Edwards

Will get my vote, my cash, my time, and my prayers. :bounce:

Obama-Clinton not so much!
