MADISON, Wis. — The national chairman of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign says she could end up on the same ticket with rival Barack Obama.
Terry McAuliffe told a business group in Madison on Tuesday it ‘‘sure is’’ possible the former first lady and the Illinois senator could become running mates.
He says that team would create excitement in the country heading into the general election. But McAuliffe would not predict who would be on top of the ticket.
The former chairman of the Democratic National Committee says Clinton has to do well in next week’s elections in Ohio and Texas to begin erasing Obama’s lead in delegates. If she does not, he says she will have to decide what to do about her campaign.
“Shame on you Barack Obama”.
I am John McCain and I approve this message!
But McAuliffe would not predict who would be on top of the ticket.
Now, that is an interesting picture......
I don’t think she will be on top though
OMG. My worst nightmare!!!
How did Chelsea come about then?
Ha! Not a chance!
Pre-debate release? holy smokes! we are gonna see a “we agree on everything” debate tonight????
Does the Clinton machine have a gun to his head? Probably.
I Know she told a few reporters joking around that she wants to be first lady, not first widow.
It'll never happen. McCain's Veep could recite Obama's criticisms of Madame Cankles verbatim should she attempt to wedge her fat ass onto the ticket.
I think he'll go conservative Dem white, maybe Evan Bayh, or *shudder* even Edwards.
Some comedian on TV said last week, “I wouldn’t want to be the first black president of the US. He will be assinated within a week.”
Especially with Hillary as VP.
I’ve been predicting this. If he wins the nomination, then they spin it as a sign that he is a unifier and able to reach out to opponents. If she wins, they spin it as the face of change in Washington as opposed to the “old Washington insider white dude the Pubbies have.”
ARkancide has a way of just sneaking up on people between the Clinton’s and power...
DON’T DO IT BARACK!!!
Yeah, like Obama will be comfortable with her as Veep. I wouldn’t want the job of food taster in that White House!!!
if obama ran with the hildabeast as VP, he would have to have a death wish.
If Obama is dumb enough to select Hitlery as Veep, he deserves what he gets. The Clintons will be the Obama’s best friends for a while and will be horrified when he takes his own life in Fort Marcy park. Luckily Maggie Williams will be there to help Michelle go through his things.
I could see Hillary picking Obama to be her running mate, if she can manage to still win the nomination. He could help her in the general election.
But I can’t see Obama wanting Hillary as his running mate. She would weigh down the ticket with all the Clinton baggage and her negativity, without helping attract new voters.
Obama would be out of his mind to chose her as a running mate. She and her old man would suck all the oxygen out of the White House and his role as President would be diminished.
Running Mates?
Whichever position they’ll end up in, It is for certain that she’ll be the one wearing the Pants (-suit), and he’ll be the one wearing the Nigerian dress.
I’ve said this before- this makes sense from Hillary’s point of view. If she’s VP to Obama she’ll be back in the White House back rooms running everything as before, while Obama faces the press, takes trips, makes inspirational speeches, and golfs. Then after eight years, Hillary runs for the top slot having had real experience, and after “reforming” the press and especially new media.
Michelle will not allow this to happen.
Pop!
It shows you that the Beast’s campaign is now in the begging mode! No effing way will Obambi pick her.
And here I have just been reading about BHO/Sharpton
Obama would have to revoke Bill’s passport so that he can’t go around the world as some perverted ambassador.
Gee. She has a funny way of asking for a job. I’d like to see how she asks for a raise.
The only thing different about "conservative Dem"s from their Socialist brethren, is that maybe they don't like PBA's, maybe they don't like single-payer state-run anti-health, and maybe they're slightly more 2A than the lunatics that run the DUm party. (Until now -- I find it interesting to see what Axelrod actually does with all this power he's about to capture.)
I find them to be the useful not-quite-idiots that have helped our Conservatives block the absurd Code Pink-dictated "Abandon Our Troops!" bs over the past two years, the aforesaid treason having reduced Dingy and Peloski's approval rating to, oh, what is it now, 11%?
Co-Presidency. They will take turns as to who is on top.
Why would Obama want a vice-president with negatives as high as Hillary’s? He’ll blow her off, my guess.
Being president with a Clinton VP would qualify as the most dangerous job in America.
Salient observation, and one that I had not thought of before.
Her negatives cancel out his positives.
She brings nothing to the ticket except a horse's head.
Some trial balloon, Hillary's is getting her ass kicked so she want obama to be her VP. LOL, don't think that is going to happen.
Obama needs a running mate with military experience. Hillary is out.
Nor can I see Clinton running as his VP as she'd retain more status as a Senator as more of a free agent.
If she loses, I'd expect her to eventually quit the Senate where she'd always be the junior senator from NY and go on the rubber chicken circuit. Big, big bucks there.
Shocking.....not.
"Right now Obama's more at risk of being taken out by traces of polonium-210 left in his hotel by a Clinton operative than by Roy Rogers saddling up for Jesus." - Mark Steyn
Surely both HRC and BHO know they are seen as liberal by many voters-and wouldn’t both, therefore, want to balance out the ticket with (e.g) a boring white male moderate? If they ‘double up’ only the left/liberal voters will vote for them; either one would have those votes tied up already, so surely either one would prefer a moderate/centrist running mate.
I'd like to see Michelle get belligerent with Hussein about throwing Hillary out of the Veep office in front of her. Algore would buy the first ticket to see that.
Heck, they’d Arkancide him within his first year!
But which one would be Pres., and which would be VP? I can’t see either of them at this point settling for VP. Both of them are egomaniacs. She always has been, he has become one.
Barack and Michelle and Bill and Hillary. In our White House. I’m feeling really, really ill just now...
Here’s my prediction: Surely HRC will not stoop to the VP slot. Besides, she’ll be 68 by the time Obama’s second term is over. She’s preparing Dems for her Super Delegate coup but will put Obama at the bottom of her ticket to smooth things over. It’s her turn, after all, and Obama will still be a young man right years from now.
I don’t know about that but I DO know she would try to undermine him at every turn and she would always be out there trying to steal camera time.
Nah...
Obama won’t want her as his Veep.
By the time this is all over, Hillary will have burned so many bridges, and insulted so many people that she will be completely done in all but New York. And maybe there, too.
I’m waiting for her to have a complete, on-air melt-down. The kind you cannot recover from.
