LOL! First, a contrite Obama, ahead in delegates, would have to take second place, the VP position, on the ticket. Do you think his ego will allow this? Of course not.
Hillary put this feeler out there for the crowds to ooh and ahh about today. She thinks there might be a slim chance Michelle & Barack will say to heck with it, a VP slot is better than nothing and go for it, but if it does not pan out she can always say she held her hand out for him to grasp...
As far as the combined ticket, if it did happen, Obama is still a juicy left wing target. Average the negatives on both of them just today, before the GO hammers them, and they are both unelectable as long as GOP voters show up.
this is what i've been posting for the last two weeks, and many Republicans here on FR just don't see it... they were actually voting for Hillary... and Rush was telling them to do it... dumb, dumb, dumb!
First, it is not going to happen.
Hillary is not going to take the VP spot and Obama will be leading in pledge delegates when this comes to the end, so he will be the nominee.
There is a vast difference between the two in the the vision they have of how their adminstration would operate.
Second, it is far more likely that both would like to see the other lose in the election and take a crack at 2012 rather then wait for 2016!
Which for Hillary would be impossible!
Finally, such a ticket would unify the GOP against it and move conservative Democrats and Independents toward the GOP.
It is too radical a ticket for most Americans to accept.
This talk of a ticket is just the MSM dream of avoidng the reality of the divisions that are already beginning to show in the Democrat Party.
Divisons which are going to get McCain elected.
I can’t believe you even linked to that lame post. Not only was the poster new to FR the person could not spell. I think when it comes down to it McCain can beat Hillary or Obama or Hillary/Obama, and I am not even a McCain fan. But I think when people go to the polls they will think hard and long about who they elect.
Another issue would be the VP pick. If McCain picks a Black VP like Steele, or Watts, he is pandering, if he doesnt, he is racist..
