Hillary Clinton Asks Oprah Winfrey to Be Running Mate in 2008?

Hillary Clinton Asks Oprah Winfrey to be Running Mate in 2008? By Cris Bergman Jul 19, 2006

A published report will claim that Oprah may have a new suitor from the political spectrum.

A report set for Star Magazine's weekly offering will claim that Hillary Clinton has put out a feeler to see if Oprah would consider the veep spot on the 2008 ticket.

That should send shock waves through DC and especially the Republican Party.

Though Hillary has yet to declare her official candidacy it is near certain that she will run and she is far and away the Democratic frontrunner for the gig.

The weekly magazine has this item:

New York Senator Hillary Clinton mad a bid to snag Oprah Winfrey as her running mate in the 2008 presidential elections.

"Hillary thought that with Oprah's pulling power they'd be a shoe-in," the friend says. "So she sent Oprah an e-mail to ask her if she'd be interested. But when Oprah got it, she wasn't sure if Hillary was being serious or if it was a joke."

The whole thing actually reads like a joke, but stranger things have happened in Washington DC.

And it may take Oprah's star power to make Hillary Clinton electable as she is under attack from the left wing of her party and of course will face a tough time from the GOP.

Cue the rep™: No denials yet.

Memo to Hillary: I can't believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year.

Actually, I think she's mentally unbalanced. Literally. And it's affected her brain functions.

Maybe in DC but not the Republican Party. Side-splitting laughter maybe, but not shock waves.

Suzi O. could be Secretary of Treasury. The Video Professor could be made head of Commerce.

Yeah, but they would lose the democrats who have half a clue. At least the male ones.

If Hillary goes with Oprah, the GOP Candidate should pick Rush Limbaugh.


The VP debate would be watched like the Super Bowl.
