The Clinton-Obama Dream Ticket

by John Little on 1/02/2008

Their performances last night just reinforced my belief that these two will run together. It’s not my dream but Democrats and independents are going to be all over it. This ticket would stack up especially well against McCain as it would likely pull a significant percentage of his moderate Democratic and independent supporters. Conservatives could be left with only the hope that Clinton’s negatives are damaging enough to cost her the race.

Lets no forget both of these two people are Democrats in the UK they are called Labour (Socialists). Our military is slowly being destroyed by this Labour Government and if the Democrats get in then God Help America,you still have time to stop this.

The idea of a Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket is ridiculous. There is NO WAY. Barack Obama has already done interviews where he insinuated he would not take a VP offer: “No,” he said. “I’m not running for vice president, I’m running for president of the United States.” He made his remarks during the webcast co-sponsored by MTV and the website MySpace back in October. His argument that it was too early to discuss such things is the SAME argument he made last night.

And any rational analysis of the response to the question last night should lay to rest any such speculation. Both candidates were WAY too careful NOT to answer the question. Barack IMMEDIATELY pounced on the question, almost before it was fully out of Wolf Blitzer’s mouth. He led with humor, but it had a serious edge, to indicate that the two tickets would be very very different.

Hillary is too polarizing for his campaign, and would drive away not only Republicans and Independents but the growing list of Democrats who vow to never vote for Hillary, period. He knows this, AND he himself is none to happy with how she’s run her campaign. Listen, again, to the very beginning of the debate again, where he refers her a friend, and then sort of stumbles for words: “she’s done a… she’s run a… we’ve run a very competitive campaign.” He was trying VERY hard to be polite and non-offensive, but without condoning how she ran her campaign.

And again when asked if she was on his “short list” — he never agrees with that, but responds with a very vague “I think Hillary would be on anybody’s short list.” I totally imagined him saying in his head, as he leaned over for his water, “well, anybody’s but mine.”

Clinton, likewise (and showing her penchant for parroting Barack Obama, but less articulately, during last night’s debate), only said “I have to agree with everything Barack just said.”

Read between the lines people, instead of projecting some hoped for result onto a benign but nowhere near positive response. They are not remotely considering such an idea. The “Dream Ticket” is a fabrication of the media.

Dream Ticket? I do not think so. After eight years as First Lady and being witness to Mr. Gore’s position (or lack thereof), it is unlikely that Mrs. Clinton would even consider being a Vice-President for anyone! Also, there is no way Mr. Obama would be the Vice-President to the co-presidency of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton. Besides, does a co-presidency even have a vice-president?

I sure would have liked to have seen Jack Kemp in the White House, even as VP.It takes about an hour for everyone to forget about the also-ran candidates and rally around the party’s ticket.
