Newt Gingrich predicts Democrats will choose Clinton-Obama ticket

[CGowen]

WASHINGTON: Democrats will nominate Hillary Rodham Clinton for president in 2008 and Barack Obama will be her running mate, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich predicts.

The Republicans will have three "formidable" choices in Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson, said Gingrich, who is considering whether to get into the race.

Gingrich is ruling out John McCain's chances among the Republican contenders.

The Arizona senator "has taken positions so deeply at odds with his party's base that I don't see how he can get the nomination," Gingrich said Sunday in a broadcast interview.

Gingrich said he had dinner recently with Thompson, the former Tennessee senator and actor who has set up a political committee that allows him to raise money for a presidential bid. An official launch is likely in September, after the Labor Day holiday.

4. I think they would be unelectable...a woman and a black man..too

many racist is this country for that team...but I think it would be great, if the woman wasn't hillary..

8. A black man with muslim family background is something the

country may not be ready for, not in 2008. Hillary Clinton
is quite electable contrary to what many here on DU believe.
People have not forgotten the great economy during Clinton
administration. People tend to vote pocket book.
