HRC...

....will never play second fiddle and Obama doesn't have a reason to. 

Shmillary and Osama Bama on the same ticket?

PJ,

You have that one right. It's the old saying: "give someone enough rope and they'll hang themselves".  These two left-coast, bleeding-heart, 'do as I say, not as I do', egomaniacs are both legends in their own minds. Any sign of cooperation between them would be a total farce, anyway - just like them.

"Yeah! That's the ticket!" - Tommy Flanagan

A Hillary VP is just an

A Hillary VP is just an "accidental" death away from a presidency. No way anyone makes HRC VP.

On the flip side, HRC's not going to want a turban wearing Hussein as VP nor is Obama gonna wanna submit to the "monster".

A Ticket Would Be A No-win For Obama

If Obama is on a ticket with Clinton, he's already lost. If it's Clinton-Obama, he will have accepted that despite the popular vote and the pledged delegate count, the Negro can't be allowed to be the Presidential nominee. The Blacks will rightly see him as a sell out. If it's Obama-Cinton, and that ticket wins, then you only need to read the first sentence of Section 3 of the 20th Amendment to know what would happen (think Vince Foster).

Not likely - but never say

Not likely - but never say never, especially about liberals and their hunger for power...

Not likely - but never say

Not likely - but never say never are my sentiments.  Politics is a wierd animal, you just never know.  If Hillary and Obama were not so close and the super delagates unknown and the possible fracture of teh Dim party then I would say no way Jose.   But there might be a back room deal where all compromise so the party can stay intact and cohesive.

It looks like a no win for all except the GOP.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

They'd have to kiss and make up...not likely.  Movie trailer.

 

As likely as a Dolphins -

Now THAT'S funny!!!

But just think of how much fun we'd have watching them flap in the breeze as they jittered through the Double Bradley Effect.

I'm immune.  Got plenty of reason not to support one thief, let alone two.

Look what is going on between the camps now....this is nothing compared to what is going to happen to come between the two.

Let 'er rip! 

Obama-Clinton Ticket

Or if Hillary doesn't get the nomination and BO doesn't pick her as veep, McCain may want to consider a McCain-Clinton ticket.  McCain would lose the conservative vote, but if the conservatives on this site are to be believed, he doesn't have it anyway, and he would pick up some Hillary supporters.  It would upset some moderate repubs (or RINOS as you call them) due to Hillary's high negatives, but I don't think they would cross-over to BO.  Just a thought. 

Strange bedfellows

I voted very likely as it would be the proverbial dream ticket because it would bring together all of America's  Hope and Change voters under the same tent making McCain's run that more difficult.

 Remember, politics makes strange bedfellows.

I've said this before, and

I've said this before, and I meant it. If Obama gets the nomination, and Hillary gets the VP slot, there will be either an assasination or an "accident", getting her into the Oval Office.

Matter of fact, he needs watch out for her and her minions trying something NOW, before he end up in Ft. Marcy Park, too.

Its in the works already,

Its in the works already, folks.......in Lorado Texas, The Clinton
were out drinking with Teddy Kennedy, what does that tell you....They
were yucking it up till 2am. The only good thing about the
meeting was Kennedy didnt have to drive anywhere.....if you know what I
mean.

All this name callling between B.O. and Shrillary is all
fake. In the end they will kiss and make up and be the dream
team, or the mod squad, or the bad dream team..

B.O. is a fool if
he picks Hill as his running mate, she will make sure shes back in the
White House with in 4 years.......how you ask??? how many people in the
clinton admin in the White House and Arkansas died
mysteriously???? LOTS!!!!!!

Not gonna happen!

Her Thighness wouldn't play Veep if Jesus Christ was going to be Prez, and anyone who imagines that Michelle "America is Crap" Obama is going to sit in the back of the bus with Hillary driving is dreaming!

Obama is better off poisoning the well this go-round and trying again when he's got some experience and his rank leftitude has mellowed.

 

Clinton/Obama

She'll never take second slot on the ticket.  And he has everything to gain for he will not be the nominee in the end.   It is hers and always has been. 

Remember Dallas?

Hillary would take the Veep in a heartbeat. Then she would get him on her turf and LBJ him.

It's less likely than Hollywood denying African Americans movie roles in favor of Lily White Robert Downey Jr.

I voted "not going to

I voted "not going to happen" on the assumption the question posited a ticket with Hillary as the VP. If Hillary gets the prez nomination, she would almost be obliged to offer the veep slot to Obama and he might take it.

They've been at each others

They've been at each others throats for so long, that the idea they'd hug and make up is highly unlikely, but not impossible for the workers of the world (socialist implications intended). They both stand for different paradigms and have illustrated how different they are for months.

Further, I doubt Obama would compromise his message of hope and change and trot out socialist robot on as his VP. Further, the socialist robot isn't going to take second place and already has special interested to take care of. All of her chinese-born contributions have to buy a few cabinet positions, or possibly influence her VP pick.

The democratic race is too divided at this point. Given how close the race is, half of the democrats will like their nominee, the other half will have to re-evaluate their support for the other person against McCain.

What I want to see is Hillary citing Supreme Court Ruling Bush vs Gore in Federal Court.

Now that would be delicious.

She can't afford NOT to offer VP to Obama

All hell would break loose if she did not offer him that slot.  It's going to be bad enough that she ultimately will be the nominee.   There's got to be some appeasement.  But I guarantee there's going to be strained relations between the 'ladies'. 

I don't think that Obama

I don't think that Obama wants to be # 3 in that administration, behind Hillary, and Bill.

Pledge to not support RINOs ever again!

Yeah, Free

Another poster here phrased it as "Administrative Assistant to Vice President Bill".

Pretty good, huh? 

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

 

Oh I think he'd play number 3 behind Bill

Because if he doesn't settle for that he can kiss it all good bye.   They'll not let him walk away from this to be a thorn in their sides for the next four.  

I could possibly see a

I could possibly see a Clinton-Obama ticket, but I can't imagine Hillary playing "second fiddle."  Personally, I think they would lose some credibility were they to come together on the same ticket after campaigning so ardently against each other... then again, the two of them together would be a dream team for the "gimme" crowd...

I vote "not likely."

How about an Obama-Kucinich ticket?

That way they can get both kinds of the illegal alien votes.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.
