Gingrich predicts Clinton-Obama ticket
6 minutes ago
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 GOP will have three "formidable" choices in Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson, said Gingrich, who is considering whether to get into the race.
Gingrich is ruling out John McCain's chances among the Republican contenders.
The Arizona senator "has taken positions so deeply at odds with his party's base that I don't see how he can get the nomination," Gingrich said Sunday in a broadcast interview.
Gingrich said he had dinner recently with Thompson, the former Tennessee senator and actor who has set up a political committee that allows him to raise money for a presidential bid. An official launch is likely in September, after the Labor Day holiday.
Gingrich said he expects Thompson will enter what is shaping up as a competitive race for the GOP nomination against Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, and Giuliani, a former New York City mayor.
"I think that either Mayor Giuliani or Governor Romney or Senator Thompson would be a very formidable opponent for what I expect will be a Clinton-Obama ticket, and I think that there's a possibility that will work," Gingrich said.

You won't have an 'I told ya so' until next year when the convention's over. I'm betting that Clinton may be on the ticket or Obama may be on the ticket, but not both.
I think Edwards is going to win the nomination.
All the politicians think they have to tell us what we already know. Guess they come upon a revelation and imagine themselves our “teachers.” They ALL stink. Every last one of them.
I know. Like going outside in a blizzard and saying: “it’s snowing.” I’m sick of all of them and don’t care anymore who wins.
That would be an excellent, unelectable ticket.
“They ALL stink. Every last one of them.”
Hee-hee
stink to high heaven.
