How to bring back Bill - Clinton-Clinton 2008 ticket is possible

How to bring back Bill

A Clinton-Clinton 2008 ticket is constitutionally possible.

WASHINGTON, D.C., AND MADISON, N.J. – Americans are nostalgic for the 1990s. They long for a time when terrorism was perceived as a problem confined to foreign lands and when the stock market's rise seemed unstoppable. And, it turns out, many of them miss former President Bill Clinton.

In a recent poll conducted for CNN, respondents favored Mr. Clinton over President Bush on a variety of issues, including policy areas traditionally viewed as GOP strongholds. By a wide margin, those surveyed indicated that Clinton did a better job managing the economy and handling foreign affairs and taxes.

Clinton's resurgent popularity, and Democrats' difficulties in taking over the White House in recent years, might counsel a bold strategy for 2008. Whoever is selected as the Democratic nominee for the next presidential race should consider William Jefferson Clinton as a candidate for vice president.

Of course this scenario is impossible. A vice presidential candidate must be elgible to serve as president. Bill Clinton is no longer elgible to serve as president.

It might be another reason Sandy Burglar did his deed.

If it's tried, we'll have a hell of a fight to battle.

And who's fault was that? Had the MSM done their job perhaps the people would have put some pressure on Washington to take domestic terrorism seriously.

This is obviously an example of pandering to fools, inasmuch as Bill Clinton would not qualify for Vice President.

This is based on precisely the kind of sophistic parsing of language that Bill Clinton trully loves. It depends on what the meaning of "is elected" is.

Red China is on the offensive in the far east. The timing would work out quite well for them:

Do the dims have a magic time machine?

Anyway, I for one was tired of seeing the U.S.A. being slapped around by a bunch of piss ant thugs. That's partly why I voted for Mr. Bush in '00 and again in '04 (he said what he was going to do and he did it... no gray area, only black & white).

I don't want to see the do-nothing, take from the "rich" give to the poor, do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do limo liberals in power ever again.

When are people going to realize that presidents dont "manage" the economy?!? this isnt a totalitarian state. economies do better when politicians stay out of it, and that's exactly why our economy has been doing better and better these past few years. aside from wars, tax cuts and subsidies, presidents dont have as much pull on the economy as most would like to think.

You are absolutely right. Under the 22nd Amendment, coupled with the base Constitution, no one who is ineligible to be President can be a candidate for Vice President. I can understand less reputable newspapers printing electoral twaddle like this. But it is appalling to see something like this published in the Christian Science Monitor.
