GROUNDSWELL OF CALLS FOR O-HILL UNION (Here comes the Dream Ticket, thanks to Rush)
NY Post ^ | 5/23/08 | By MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 05/23/2008 9:56:46 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Barack Obama yesterday launched his search for a running mate - as Democratic calls for a "marriage" to rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton reached new heights.

With the party sharply divided after a bruising primary season - and with Clinton having won many key states - a growing number of Democratic officials are now openly talking about an Obama-Clinton ticket that could unite the factions and take back the White House in November.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), a Clinton booster, told The Post, "I am one that believes that if it works out that Senator Obama is the nominee, the strongest ticket would be Senator Clinton as vice president. No question in my mind...The weight of the states he carried versus the states she carried. It's different. And, therefore, if you combine them both, you've got the best electoral path."

Your hatred of Rush Limbaugh blinds you to the fact that the Obama/Clinton ticket was proposed by Democrats prior the existence of Operation Chaos.

Instead you turn your anger toward a true conservative and not the Democrat party members.

Here is a post from 2005 recommending the Obama/Clinton Ticket — notice Limbaugh is not mentioned once.

Hillary makes eyes at a perfect mate (Clinton/Obama 2008?)

You do realize you are completely without a clue when it comes to Politics right?

Hillary adds nothing to the Obama ticket but her massive political negatives. She does not balance him politically, experience wise or geographically. It would be utterly politically stupid to add Hillary to his ticket. It would guarantee his defeat in Nov.

Hillary will NOT be Obama's VP candidate no matter how desperately you Hillarybots want her to be on the ticket

Why would a good conservative spend as much time as Rush does building up a Clinton?

No matter who gets it, the party will be ripped apart by Operation Chaos!

Good.

Obama and Hillary’s negatives are additive.

Also, she totally undercuts his blurry message of change and hope because she is much of the same old.

As long as Obama heads the ticket it won’t matter what she does. Her power exists only from a one-on-one with McCain.

Typical Leftist aren't you? You had to whine to the Moderator and get people banned because you couldn't actually debate the facts of the issue.

Too bad that tactic will not work this time.

Hillary will not be the VP candidate no matter how desperately you Hillarybots want her there.

Obama would have to be politically suicidal to add her negatives to his. Pretty tough to be the "Change" candidate hauling around Clinton's Inc legacy of slime

Politics makes strange bedfellows. I wouldn't count on Hillary passing up a chance to get to what she thinks is her divine right - or as close to it as she can get. And Obama, the weaker he looks the more vulnerable he is to having to take her.

Sorry, chuckles, it wasn't me. I only discovered you were banned after I tried to respond to one of your attack posts and received an error message.

I, personally, like having you around because I want to see what you think when Rush's bungling ends up bringing back the nightmare of a Clinton in the White House

plus it goes against his "change" idea...

That’s a probable pick that still makes them a beatable team. I don’t think that Obama is as smart as Clinton was to pick Algore as his running mate back in the day.
