WASHINGTON (CNN) – Add another name to the list of political observers who think a Clinton-Obama ticket would be unbeatable: Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

In an editorial in Cuba's communist party newspaper, Granma, the ailing dictator said the pairing of the two White House hopefuls seemed "invincible," according to an English translation on the paper's Web site.

I agree do you really think that they will admit he is dead? Come on Weekend at Bernies could not have made a better story.

Well those communists really know how to preserve their dead tyrants! I saw Mao a few years ago and he looked fabulous. They’ve probably preserved Castro, propped him in a chair for photo ops with the likes of Chavez and no one is the wiser.

[lndrvr1972]

True. I have been to Moscow and saw Lenin in Red Square he looked real good.

I know it's just daydreaming, but...
(fade through the clouds into dream world, with appropriate music.)

Senator Thompson you may now make your opening statement...

I would like to thank my opponent for being kind enough to agree to this debate and I look forward to a lively exchange. I'm certain we will discuss a number of topics today, but the question that really needs to be answered tonight is simply this...
Did Senator Clinton call Fidel Castro personally to thank him for his endorsement, or did she simply send flowers?

looks a little crusty around the edges.

one of my neighbors is a tv-moron union member.

she hates bush, the rich, the educated blah blah blah....

one day i told her: “if the ballot was a choice between gov. pete wilson and fidel castro you’d vote for castro.

she was not offended! she hates pete.

[Libloather]

...she hates....

Tell her that's her main problem. She really should stop.

Well, if there wasn’t ever evidence that Barack Hussein Obama is the Manchurian Candidate, there is now.

Breaking News - DNC will have their 08 convention in Havana. Castro and Carter to be featured speakers.

[NotchJohnson]

Many here (dumb Americans) will take this as a blessing, as if, oh, Chirchill is giving his opinion. This shouldbe a kiss of death, but this is not 1962.

Ahhh... just like dinnerjacket in Iran, Osama in wherever... Castro also spouting Democrat talking points.

Lets count them... shall we?

Castro's only reference to U.S. President George W. Bush in his latest essay was to say that he "needed fraud" to win Florida's electoral college votes and the presidency in the fiercely contested election in 2000.

Castro said former President Bill Clinton was "really kind" when he bumped into him and the two men shook hands at a U.N. summit meeting in 2000.

He also praised Clinton for sending elite police to "rescue" shipwrecked Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez from the home of his Miami relatives in 2000 to end an international custody battle.

He said his favorite U.S. president since 1959 was Jimmy Carter, another Democrat, because he was not an "accomplice" to efforts to violently overthrow the Cuban government.

This needs to be on the tube and in RNC ads, then maybe Id restart donating to them. Show some cajones, RNC

[bschmitt78]

The GOP sure as heck should run with it! This is a GOLDEN move by Fidel Castro!!!

[bschmitt78]

....with special embassadors Cindy Sheehan and Hugo Chavez.

“Castro Endorses Hillary/Obama ticket, Calls It “Invincible”

Isn’t that special? After an endorsement from an absolute dictator, ANY US Presidential candidate worth a damn would be tripping over his/her own feet to disassociate himself/herself from the speaker and the statement.. would deny and disclaim ANY hint of appreciation for the endorsement or political sympathy with the speaker.

But NOOOOOOOO ... These to clowns will let it ride and actually bank on whatever political capital it will garner them.... SAD
