Ex-Clinton Insider Launches Unity Ticket Drive

[kevinmc]

Hillary/Obama '08 becomes official today. In a way.

A Clinton insider who served as ex campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle's executive assistant for several years has set up a new website, http://www.voteboth.com/ and plans to register with the Federal Election Commission today.

VoteBoth urges Democrats to support a joint Clinton-Obama ticket.

Its creator, Adam Parkhomenko, resigned from the campaign three weeks ago.

He had been one of the first employees of the 2006 incarnation of Clinton's political action committee, HillPAC, and his proximity to the powers of the campaign will raise the question of whether the effort is sanctioned by the campaign. (Parkhomenko says that the idea was his own.)

The website features a petition to members of the Democratic National Committee "to support a unity ticket with both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama."

Five years ago, another unauthorized Parkhomenko website, VoteHillary.org, caught the attention of Clinton; he was hired by Solis Doyle in 2005.

1. What part of "Obama is winning" don't they understand?

[Skidmore]

3. The part that reads

"Hillary is losing."

[lisa58]

8. lol

[flpoljunkie]

24. Perhaps part of the "kitchen sink" strategy?

Talk about chutzpah!

[cliffordu]

38. Now referred to as the "Circling the drain" strategy

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

18. Apparently ALL of it! n/t

[stahbrett]

2. How shocking that Hillary is listed first (not)

The gall of her campaign is unbelievable... to still think she'd be at the top of any such "unity" ticket is ridiculous.

[helderheid]

4. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.

[ellacott]

6. That's the amazing part

Unbelievable.

[40ozDonkey]

5. I knew this would be the next push...

...this is gonna be fun.

:popcorn:

[lisa58]

7. Clinton/Obama '08?

the same ticket is one thing, but Clinton/Obama?

[JTFrog]

9. It's not too late!! Clinton/Obama '08!!

[lisa58]

15. love it!

[Hope And Change]

10. Yawn...

[Window]

11. Good luck with that Adam.

:rofl:

[JayFredMuggs]

12. These people are UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Since they worked for Hillary, how on earth can anyone NOT believe that they still MIGHT work for Hillary, given Mark Penn news this weekend.

[Skwmom]

13. It would rally the Republican base, Clinton is owned by corporate lobbyists,

and her negatives would reflect badly upon Obama - (for example, if you'rw not a liar, why would you pick a running mate who was, if you're not owned by big money, why would you pick a running mate who was).

[OhioBlue]

14. the desperation of her campaign is truly pathetic. n/t

[AllentownJake]

16. Wow

These people have truly passed the state of sanity. They are now delusional.

[BlueIdaho]

17. Not bloody likely... nt.

[bobbert]

19. The entire website is in the OP

except where you put in your email address so you can get more spam. What a waste of money, an internet petition and no information on a crappy website designed for hillbots.

[City Lights]

28. I clicked the link hoping I could see if the first signature was Hillary Clinton.

But as you say, the entire website is in the OP. :rofl:

[goclark]

20. They must think we are absolutely crazy

That is but another indication that she/her co"to be President Bill" and all of her staff need to fly to Bosnia for a vacation.

Their little tricks are lost in the 60's, they don't understand the power of the internet and the need for CHANGE.

They are trying to hand America "Chump Change" and we want real change.

[Windy]

21. I am so angered by the Clinton people that I can't even laught at this.

They need to just take their toys and go home.

Unfortunately they won't until after Puerto Rico.

Its a shame that the party has to suffer for the ambitions of one power hungry family!

[npincus]

22. why would Obama want to run with her at this pont?

I think she's damaged goods after the Bosnia fabrication... and she herself had excluded Obama from passing the 'commander-in-Chief threshold" while PRAISING her (and our) REPUBLICAN opponent, McCain! Oh, Hell no.

[merh]

23. There is no such thing as a co-presidency

And putting Hillary with top billing continues to ignore the fact that he is winning and her fans don't get to make that call and neither does she.

What a bunch of goobers - maybe they should just focus on helping raise money to pay off the little people and the colleges and schools she still owes.

[Colobo]

25. Obama/Clinton, perhaps. He's winning, you know...

[moriah]

45. I'd be fine with that....

If we add their delegates together, they represent a great part of our electorate.

I really don't care who's on first at this point.

Actually, if the job of the VP candidate traditionally is the one to deal with responses to dirty politics, Clinton would be damn good at it.

[workinclasszero]

26. Ridiculous

This is just another slap in the face to Obama. The audacity of these people to offer the front runner in the race a back seat!

Sickening

[whatchamacallit]

27. DESPERATION!

She's told us he's an empty suit, a cult leader, weak on defense, un-vetted, and can't be elected (cuz he's black)... Now they want him on the ticket? Her candidacy is a steaming pile.

[City Lights]

29. How pathetic.

I honestly don't see the appeal of a unity ticket. I have never voted for the name in the VP spot, and this year won't be any different.

[locker13]

30. GTFOH

[IDemo]

31. As D Day fast approaches for Hillary, I think we can count on the MSM

to begin pounding the drum loudly and incessantly for this disaster. Just picture Tim Russert for a second; you know this is going to happen. Luckily, Obama is not going to submit to this.

I'm not sure which is more irritating at this point: the Nightmare ticket, or the idea of Gore as Al Christ Superstar.

[blogslut]

42. And look who is in love with the idea!

Not going to link directly to that jerk but if you click the google new search term below, you'll see what I'm talking about:

[whatchamacallit]

32. Hmm... I notice Hill's most rabid supporters have yet to comment

They must feel like the 28%ers did when Rush told them to vote for Hillary; total panic and confusion.:nuke: :rofl: :nuke:

[Ysabel]

33. real tired of the crap (n/t)...

[book_worm]

34. Why Clinton/Obama? he's ahead in delegates, states won and votes

If anything it should be Obama/Clinton, but I doubt she will be on his ticket because she doesn't add much.

[AspenRose]

35. I saw a Clinton/Obama sign in a yard this past weekend

in Northern VA.

[blogslut]

36. Well, isn't this interesting

[anonymous171]

39. Obama/Clinton or no unity ticket.

[kevinmc]

40. **

[Cha]

41. Just go away hilary..you officially

have cooties.

[SoCalDem]

43. Typical.. the losers usually start grasping for unity

Obama loses if he chooses HRH...He needs to choose his own running-mate.
