Dems: Dream ticket redux ?
Posted 16 weeks 6 days ago byWell , it seems that Senator Clinton & Senator Obama have decided that it was time to get along again.
Could it means that we are heading for a Clinton/Obama or an Obama/ Clinton ticket in November? I certainly hope so, it would be the best way and perhaps the only way to defeat Senator McCain.
The few primaries left and/or the superdelegates would just have to decide who will be number one and number two on it.......and them the Dems can concentrate on making their case against Sen. McCain by painting him as " W light ", the ultimate flip-flopper or like Howard Dean said " four more years of President Bush "

Thoughts
It would be a logical choice.....

On the other hand, Sen. Obama can motivate people and get them to feel that participating in the electoral process is important.
On a personal note, I would be happy with either one of them, on top of the ticket.They are both very bright, and on a policy stand point they would be very similar. She has more experience than he does, but he has more charisma.
Either way, it could be the only winning ticket for the Dems.
DREAM TICKET
Submitted on May 3rd, 2008 by janmbThe MEDIA will be very disappointed if Obama their messiah doesn't get nominated and I'm actually afraid of what the blacks might do.
Hillary was the first woman in my lifetime with any chance at all to be president and maybe not the ONLY one ever qualified but the only one with GUTS recently to throw herself in that arena of sociopathic woman haters in the MEDIA and elsewhere. Some women do not think it necessary to support other women who are trying to elevate their gender. I didn't think she could win but I'm proud of her for being so strong and brilliant.
WHEN HYPOCRISY IS ACCEPTABLE
Submitted on May 3rd, 2008 by AnonymousNo question these two candidates will support which ever one is nominated.
We note that the lawmakers stomp their feet, and attack one another on the floors of the house and senate.
But, later they will party together.
Meanwhile, citizens are pitted against one another in hate and that makes it good for the lawmakers cause it takes focus off of them and they'll get support no matter what.
16 yrs instead maybe 4
Submitted on May 3rd, 2008 by CNIf the "powerless that be" within the democratic party had a dream ticket in spades.
Clinton/Obama 8 years, Obama gains necessary experience, Clinton retires.
Obama/your name? 8 more years.
That is what the wise men/woman are charged with. Staying power of the Party. what could have's & maybe's, missed SIXTEEN possable Executive Office YEARS.!
Peace, CN, The Passerby
Hillary Should be On Top
Submitted on May 3rd, 2008 by Barrie ChurchMercy Man,
Obama may have more delegates, but he does not have enough to cinch the nomination. Hillary would be the better president. She has more experience, she is more knowledgable and she has plans to get this country back on track. Senator Obama's rhetoric is nice, but I'm getting tired of it. Tell me what he would do as president, someone, please.....
Would Hillary make a great VP?
Submitted on May 3rd, 2008 by MercyphotographyDear KansasGirl,
That is the real question here for Sen. Obama's supporters. Will she be willing to accept it?
I do think, and it seems that a lot of " big guns " at the DNC are pushing it...that the " dream ticket " scenario would be the best option to beat Senator McCain in November. Time will tell, if it will be about egos or winning in November.
Best.
The true test of these candidates
Submitted on May 3rd, 2008 by KansasGirlI really don't think a dream ticket is going to happen, and what's more, I don't think I want it to. The thing is, while I'm supporting Obama for president, Clinton can be a great Senator. I would argue that she hasn't really come into her own there yet, but I'd rather not risk the best and most politically adept of our party on the McCain Show that the general election is going to be. One of them, by all means, but not both.
The true test of these candidates is going to be whether they will, with full confidence, support the other when a so-called 'dream ticket' doesn't materialize. The people who say we have to come together as a party are right, but we've got to do it without animosity no matter who the candidate is. I have my concerns about whether ego will get in the way of that, on either side.
