Obama gets a run at the presidency after 8 years of experience in the White House. Clinton gets the presidency America needs to repair the economy and foreign relations.

Everybody wins, unless Obama decides to roll the dice and throw the party under the bus.

28. Hillary could not win with superman on the ticket!
However, if Obama accepts VP....the ticket will inevitably lose because of Hillary's baggage. Obama will then be able to run again in 12. Only problem with that, Obama would associate himself with what he is campaigning against.

She does with me, but I don't think she does with the country.

6. How is it throwing the party under the bus? Obama has principles
that are very different than the Clintons.

7. that ticket could pretty much lock up the whitehouse for the
Democrats for 16 years. Will it happen? I think it depends on whether or not Obama is willing to put his ego aside.

19. I Forgot Asians
And among the groups I cited there are segments that are reluctant to vote for a black or a woman but by putting them on the same ticket you overcome it...

I admit the ticket is risky but I don't see losing any of those groups by having both on the ticket...

18. They don't help each other
either Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton. They are too similar.

You will need strong national security cred to beat McCain. So I'm hoping Clinton picks Clark...and I say this as an Obama supporter. If it's Obama, I'm hoping Biden gets VP.

20. If You Can Get 90% Support From African Americans, Latinos, And Asians You Start With Twenty Seven
Percent Or So Of The Vote...

You are forcing the Pugs to get damn near seventy percent of the white vote...
