Clinton-Obama
 

Comment from Castro on CNN today: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...et-invincible/

A number of articles have been written about this in the past: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/ar...1211/11gop.htm

So, two questions.

1: How realistic is a Clinton-Obama ticket?

2: What are the chances of winning if the ticket is Clinton-Obama vs. Clinton-[white male] vs Obama-[white male]? Rate them in order of how likely each would be to win the White House.

Re: Clinton-Obama
 

what about Obama-Clinton? is Hilary that big a favorite at this point that that's a crazy idea?

Re: Clinton-Obama
 

1. How realisitic? not a chance. Clinton has already unleashed her dogs on Obama, there is no way she can possibly be on the same ticket w/o being ripped apart by the republicans.

2. I dont know




I did like the comment from that CNN article:


There you have it folks a vote for Clinton/Obama is a vote for communism.






Personally, in the next few months when hillary really starts tearing Obama apart, he will no longer be a viable candidate at all anymore, she is going to be doing the job for the republicans imo.

Hillary has already been in the white house in a ceremonial/advisory capacity, i don't think she'd want to do that again.

Re: Clinton-Obama
 

Hillary has it locked up. I actually see Edwards as more of a threat to Hillary than Obama.

I completely disagree. Candidates unleash the dogs on each other all the time in primaries and then kiss and make up for the general election. You must not be old enough to remember George Bush calling Reagan's supply side economic plan "voodoo economics."

The fact that the democrats dont know how to run a good campaign, and that Kerry lost the vote because of the constant bringing up of the issue of swift boats, and flip-flopping, Howard Dean lost for simply getting too excited, and being mocked mercilessly. The Republicans are light years ahead of running smart campaigns.

Voodoo economics was not a slip-up or inconsistency by Bush or Reagan. Bush used the term repeatedly in the primary, including the debates, to criticize Reagan.

I think that the VP job would be very attractice to Obama, as it represents his cleanest route to the White House, short of winning the primary this time around.
