obama/clinton?

bill rappleye & the rappers

can they run together?

GOOD FEEDBACK ON THE QUESTION OF AN OBAMA-CLINTON TICKET…HERE YOU GO, RAPPERS.

In my opinion, if Hillary Clinton were to nominate Obama as her running mate it would crush her chances for a presidency, now that one of Obama’s Foreign Policy Advisors resigned for name-calling to Hillary (not good for Obama’s campaign stance in attempting to run “a clean” campaign.  There are always “skeletons in the closet” no matter how good you think he is.) However, if Hillary were to choose a different running mate, like Edwards, for example, the race for President could prove tough for Sen. McCain’s campaign.  On the other hand, if Obama were to get the democrat nomination, I don’t think he’ll even consider Hillary for a running mate - nor would I think Hillary would even accept to be his running mate either; thereby McCain would most likely win over Obama across the board.  Obama’s plan to withdraw troops from Iraq by 2009 is an unplanned, unrealistic attempt to sway voters his way.  People need to think logically here (I am, since I’m a retired veteran), and try thinking this way, “When you fail to plan, your plan will fail.” Both Democrat candidates really need to read that statement several times.

I think that Clinton and Obama should indeed combine their campaign, with Clinton leading.  They both have so much to offer and they would make a great team.

Democratic party 2008 ticket: Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton? It makes no difference as neither are qualified for either office.

A Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket is only wishful thinking on anyone’s part.  By the time the convention convenes they will have beat up on each other so badly with negative ads that they will never be able to make amends with each other or agree to anything.  The other major problem is very simple, their ego’s will never allow either of them to play second banana to the other.

I, for one, can’t even imagine either one of them on a voter’s ticket, but by now we all know what Obama’s answer to that is from his comments at one of his rallies recently.  He’s not even considering that to be a possibility, nor would a Hillary/Obama ticket be any better either. You already know his answer to a Hillary/Obama ticket.  In the long run, Obama’s indecisions and his “changes” to some of his past vote records while in the Senate (he voted for the 700-mile fence on our southern borders, now he wants to change his vote on that), will abstain his chances for a presidency, and most Americans already know that.  However, if by luck, Obama were to get the Democrat nomination, it will be easier for McCain to win the presidential vote.  But McCain might have a tougher time against Hillary, if she won the nomination, and only if she were to pick a different running mate (i.e., Edwards, or someone else, not Obama).  Neither one of them has a realistic plan for troop withdrawals in Iraq, and another one of Obama’s “changes” on that topic, as he had stated, changed his so-called “plan” for troops coming home from his original non-thought-out, unrealistic, liberal plan.  That’s what we can expect, a “change"-ling President.  From an old adage that needs repeating to these politicians on a daily basis:  “If you fail to plan, your plan will fail.”

No , i cannot imagine a obama clinton ticket . As it is neither should have been considered for the nomination. Edwards who i thought was the better of the three left us out to dry. I guess mccain will have to do for america.

As far as who will be leading the race between Obama and Clinton should be done by the popular vote.. And if that is very narrow margin then it should be done at the Convention. 
But whoever is nominated should however should have first choice in picking there running mate.  Just think how history will read.the year 2009 will have it first African American President/Vise President and its first women President /Vise President what an election year…

I do not think that Clinton and Obama could merge into one team. As for who would lead, your guess is as good as mine. I think both candidates are much too strong willed to give in to the other.

SEN. OBAMA PROMISED HIS CONSTITUENCY THAT IF ELECTED HE WOULD CARRY OUT HIS 6 YEAR TERM AS SENATOR AND NOT RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY; HE WASN’T IN OFFICE A MONTH WHEN HE DECLARES HIS CANDIDACY AND HAS SPENT THE ENTIRE TIME CAMPAIGNING FOR THAT OFFICE. FIRST OF ALL HIS WORD MEANS VERY LITTLE AND SECONDLY, HOW CAN HE FULFIL HIS OBLIGATION TO THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED HIM IF HE IS CONTINUALLY RUNNING AROUND THE COUNTRY?? HE IS SAYING NOTHING BUT HE IS SAYING IT VERY WELL. AND FOR HILLARY, SHE SHOULD HAVE WON AN OSCAR FOR BEST ACTRESS THIS YEAR; FROM THE EMOTIONAL CANDIDATE TO THE SYCOPHANTIC OPPOSITION TO A POLITICAL MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA WHO WAKES UP EVERY MORNING WORRYING ABOUT THE PERSON SHE CAN HELP TODAY. REFLECTING ABOUT THESE TWO NAUSEA SETS IN!
