Make It So! A Clinton-Obama ticket?

N.Y. Senator Hints On The Early Show Of Possibly Sharing Democratic Ticket With Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton is hinting at the possibility of sharing the Democratic presidential ticket with Barack Obama, but says voters still have to decide the party nominee.
The two rivals are very close on most of the major issues so this wouldn’t be an oil and water mix, at least on that score.
Despite all the heated rhetoric and the hostility of the warring political camps, such a match wouldn’t be the first time two such rivals buried the hatchet for the sake of party unity.
This is not the amazing thought that it sounds like. Voters have been mumbling about this since the process started. The real issue is uniting the Democratic Party. The best of both worlds will be a soap opera in the making … the classic “who will be on top” is the decision to be reckoned with. These two strong personalities will have to step down from their rhetoric and do some serious thinking. This is where Democrats will have to work it through and agree on really uniting this fractured party. The next few months will have to decide common issues and common solutions effecting the most diverse population in America. The Democratic Party will be an irresistible force if it can unite Hispanics, Blacks, Gays, Multi-denominational communities and all the disenfranchised socio-economic layers that comprise America. Democrats can “Make It So” by becoming a united people for recovering America from the paws of the beast.

I think it makes a lot of sense - much more than either candidate with Edwards, Richardson, Clark, or Biden. Personally I think the stronger ticket is Obama/Clinton, but I can see either one beating McCain

So true Tito, If these two can quit picking ‘nits’ and stay on focus, they would be unbeatable. They represent the ‘yen/yang’ of politics. A true balance of idealism, practicality and muscle packaged to bring America back before it is totally lost. Democracy needs a team! What a team they would be.

This would be a great ticket! At this point, I kind of feel like there’s no choice, due to so much divison in our party.

I know a guy who had oliver north’s old job in the clinton white house. He was hired despite the fact he was a republican. Clinton wanted someone who would could give a perspective from the other side of the aisle. While he thought the Pres. was a person who tended to change his mind with each policy paper he read he felt HRC wsa a perosn with a mind like a steel trap. He said she was a likable and very professional person.. considering he was a professional soldier, a tank commander in the 1st Gulf war, and a repulican I think this says alot about HRC as a person.

I think you’re right, it would be the best option, with the winner of the most pledged delegates at the end of the primary season getting the top spot. Whether the respective egos and other forces in play here (superdelegates) allow this to happen, however? Another story.
