I agree that however distasteful it (5.00 / 1) (#1)

seems to Hillary supporters, an Obama/Clinton ticket is necessary now.
I don't see any sign that Obama's camp understands the magnitude of his problem, though; in fact, I don't expect him to even ask Hillary to campaign for him in the fall.

That ticket (5.00 / 1) (#38)

will still not win the GE. I don't see any reason to support it.

Sorry. :-(

It would tie Hillary to the 10,000 bad decisions Obama will make - in the first two weeks he's the official head of the ticket and ruin her career.  No thanks.  I vote she keeps her Senate seat and runs in 2012.

I think Obama ought to be allowed to crash and burn under his own weight, after what he's done to this Party.  I for one feel no obligation to bail out a Democratic infrastructure that's shown in so many ways it doesn't car jack what I think.  And they are going to lose A LOT of others in states like Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas...

It would not seem (to me) to be in her best interests to be tied in anyway to his administration - should he somehow win.

If she stays in the Senate for another term, that's up to her.  But, we have found that there is no way the MSM is going to allow a strong woman to get the nomination if they can stop it.  Also, the current party leadership is not worth supporting.  She may be more effective as a retired Senator in advancing the needs of working and under priveledged folks everywhere, than as part of this party that seems to think those folks don't matter.

A nightmare of HUGE Proportions (none / 0) (#232)

I hope and pray Obama doesn't pick her for a running mate.  First of all it would be a direct contradiction to his Change campaign and furthermore, although politics does make strange bedfellows he would not only have to deal with her breathing down his neck but he would have the other half of the BILLARY reign of terror peeking over his shoulder.  

I support Senator Obama but WOULD NEVER support that.  Her actions over the past few months is huge indication that you can't trust them.  It just goes to show you the total flip/flop of the Clintons.

This will be a TOTAL disaster!!!!!!!!!
