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.

That’s sort of like predicting that water runs down hill. LOL

Hitlery doesn’t want him stealing her thunder. Not going to happen.

[Clintonfatigued]

This would not surprise me. And if the Hitlery/Osama ticket were to lose, the Rodent Party (and their MSM allies) would claim it proves that Americans are racist, sexist fascists.

[Clintonfatigued]

She may see it as helping with African-American turnout.

Who do you predict she will pick, if not Obama?

[Anti-Bubba182]

Clinton and Obama are having heated exchanges. If that keeps
up the ticket would be hard to put together.

[LibLieSlayer]

Not going to happen and Newt probably sealed that fact by saying it would.

osama brings nothing to hildebeast that hildebeast doesn’t already have... the black vote... and she will choose someone that will profit her with votes... and osama’s people have already been counted before the vote.

Richardson is also a good VP choice. Swing state, latin.

It’s possible Clinton/Obama will be the Dem choice, but right now I don’t see it. Clinton and Obama are running 1-2 right now for the top job and the competition will heat up as we get closer to primary time. The attacks they will lob at each other may make it too hard to unify.

It’s much easier for the leader to pick someone further down in the race who has been running an optimistic message and positive campaign.

I keep forgetting about the Lewinsky employment agency. He could have it sown up, as in I know where the skeletons are.

Hillary/Obama vs Rudy/Romney OR Rudy/Thompson

My prediction

[JFC]

Duh! Like we don’t already know that is their ACE in the hole for the white house. It is going to be a long long long time till we see a conservative back in the white house.

[Brilliant]

Given that Obama has promised to talk to the terrorists, I don’t think Hillary would be stupid enough to pick him.

[Clintonfatigued]

I almost agree. I’m thinking it’s gonna be Hitlery/Osama vs. Thompson/Romney.

[alecqss]

Could backfire big time. Ultra-left will despise Hillary as a sellout just waiting to happen; core dems will be spooked by Obama being in the pocket of MoveOn’s loonies; black honchos will not be happy to help a guy who is Pariser/Soros' rather than their's candidate; moderates will be confused into staying out and Republican base energized.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree. Clinton’s wife needs someone who can speak “jive.” She obviously can’t.

osama brings nothing to hildebeast that hildebeast doesn’t already have... the black vote... and she will choose someone that will profit her with votes... and osama’s people have already been counted before the vote.

Absolutely right on this. Thanks.

Of COURSE blacks will vote for the wife of the first black president! (Sad, but true.)

[LibLieSlayer]

“Sad but true” covers it completely!

She doesn’t have to worry about the majority of the black vote. What she has to worry about is the southern vote, especially the state of florida.

Newt must listen to Michael Savage because he predicted this match several weeks ago.
