It's fun to think about, but there are so many obstacles, and Ted Kennedy isn't buying, he said on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt," which airs this weekend.
"I don't think it's possible," he told Hunt of the joint ticket, continuing that:
Obama should choose a running mate who "is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people," Kennedy said. "If we had real leadership — as we do with Barack Obama — in the No. 2 spot as well, it'd be enormously helpful."
Ouch.
Obama’s wife is going the real veep,anyway.
I believe that Senator Kennedy (D-Chivas Regal) would love to be Vice President, if only because it’s the only vice left he hasn’t pursued.
Who died and made him town drunk? Oh, Otis did. Nevermind
Yes, that was my first thought. Teddy for Veep!
(And if he can’t run, there’s always Patrick. As a seventh-term congressman from the great state of Rhode Island, he has vast experience.)
“Who died and made him town drunk? Oh, Otis did. Nevermind”
And besides, Otis was a decent human being.
Well then Obama should be prepared to see Hillary as Medea to his Jason.
LOL!
Thanks for making my Friday!

Yep, and Barry’s ties to his separatist church will have influence also.
As long as neither of them does any driving, it's all good.
I can’t wait to see the explosion when she finally concedes the nomination to Obama, and “payback” to all she feels slighted her, begins, with all the dirt she’s collected on various ‘rats over the years. I really believe she’ll do this, and that she has the collection of scandals to do it. I wonder if that has anything to do with why the “super-delegates” haven’t already all just announced for Barry, when the writing has been on the wall? And they needed to declare already to stop the bleeding in the ‘rat party? Maybe they’re between a rock and a hard place because of what Hillary knows, and will tell?
LOL! Hillary ain’t no Loretta Lynn. “Pantsuit” Cline, perhaps.
I heard some pundit today speculate that she is dragging it out to let her supporters down gently. He was serious!
I am just so afraid that Obama is going to pick her. Yes, he despises her, but I’m sure there are party bigwigs who could convince him to put her on the ticket. If that happens, I will hate Rush forever.
If he doesn’t pick her for VP, what if he buys her off with SecDef or State?! Great! Now, I’m going to have more nightmares!
Hard to say what she will do but I expect they will try whatever they can do to destroy Obama’s chance to become the new powerbroker in the Democratic Party. Right now the vast majority of their income seems based on influence peddling around the world and if Hillary is perceived as no longer influential in the party (just one of a hundred Senators), there goes a lot of their attraction to Dubai, Indonesia, China and such. (I think that was the real reason for Bill Clinton’s gloomy face Tuesday night.) So long as the Clintons can hold her out as a future president, they can continue collecting large “donations” to their foundations and astronomical speaking fees. If she goes down for the count, and if Obama is elected president, the count of moola goes down also. So I expect she will make a show of supporting Obama while simultaneously stabbing him in the back. No fingerprints on the knife, however.
Not again!?!
Secretary of defense? Try SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
I don’t believe we need to worry about that-if nothing else, I don’t believe that Michelle Obama would ever let her be Barry’s running mate and potential VP.
Hehehe, whether she does it openly or “behind the scenes”, it works for me either way. Who’d have ever thought that we might have Hillary to thank for keeping a ‘rat out of the White House????
And considering what she did to people who might interfere with her plans before they were actually in motion, only Heaven (or that other place) knows what she’ll do, out of vindictive revenge, to anyone she feels had a role in sabatoging her coronation as President! We may learn things about some of her fellow ‘rats that we never dreamed, LOL.
This dust-up with the Rev. Wright is a smokescreen to hide the real background of Barack Obama: neoMarxist social activist who spent years teaching members of ACORN how to steal elections.
That’s why Bill Clinton looked so pissed off after the Indiana primary. Hillary would have won with a 10+point lead over Obama if it hadn’t been for vote fraud in the county where Gary, Indiana is located. The absentee ballots, thousands of them, were brought up at the last few minutes of the primary in that county which is controlled by black Democrats.
The Clintons knew what had happenned to them. If it wasn’t for Operation Chaos throwing a monkey wrench into Obamas’ calculations, he would have won Indiana through deception and election fraud.
No matter who is the Democrat candidate this fall, we can expect to see more of the same fraud in other parts of the country.
How about Barney Frank. Pander to a whole other constituency
He’ll buy her off with something....perhaps a Supreme Court Nomination of HERSELF....AAAGGGGHHHHHHh....NIGHTMARE TIME!
Can you find me any proof of his ACORN involvement....I would LOVE to have it....thanks.
Hey Teddy; stay out of Marcey Park after dark.
The dem ticket will be Obama-McCaskill.
Good one. Now I'm going to have that song in my head the rest of the day. When you're hot, you're hot! ;-)
Watch how Hill sabotages Obama in the GE. That way she can run again in 2012. No fingerprints though.
Well, not as Obama's running mate, but possibly as MacCain's.
I read this elsewhere quite a while ago, but for now you can find it here:

Obama’s wife, Michelle, attended a magnet high school created by Bill Ayers, and she interned at a law firm in Chicago at which Bernadette Dorhn worked (1988). Later, in 1989, Barack Obama would work there for a summer in 1989. This was unheard of; this law firm had never done that before. Bill Ayers’s uncle, John Ayres, was CEO of a company which was the largest and wealthiest client of this particular law firm and family influence may have had something to do with it.
Bill Ayers father was CEO of Consolidated Edison Co. I’ve always suspected that there was a deal made for Bill to turn himself in and not face arrest, that his father hired PIs to find illegality on the part of the authorities, and threatened them with never-ending lawsuits if they didn’t drop charges against his son.
Yes, I owe Otis an apology.
