Hillary will bring nothing to an Obama ticket. In fact, she'll be a drag on it. She is someone who is hated by about 50% of the population and only liked by perhaps 25%. If Obama wins the nomination he'll likely pick a woman to run with, but there's no way he'll pick her.

If Hillary wins the nomination, she'll have to pick a black running mate, but probably not Obama. He's got nearly as many negatives as she does.

A Hillary/Obama or Obama/Hillary ticket would be a dream ticket though...for Republicans. McCain would be a shoe in just because of the people voting against the democrats.

The two on the same ticket is probably their best hope for either to win. ...which is pathetic, as their opponent is similarly unelectable, yet someone must win and it would take both working together to beat McCain.

This brings up something that has increasingly puzzled me: Presuming Hillary has a lot of strings to pull, should she not get the nomination, she must ensure that a great deal of pain & punishment be dealt out, no? I just don't see her being the kind of person who can effectively offer carrots without wielding sticks, and the sticks mean nothing if she doesn't beat the living crap out of someone prominent if she doesn't get her way.
Rephrased: if Hillary doesn't get the nomination, SOMEONE will suffer badly - but who, and how?

She will be at the top of the ticket. Seniority and all that.

The media drool fest will be disgusting to see.

Chris Matthews and his ilk will speak of it being a unique moment in history a watershed event for America and half a dozen other BS lines which will be repeated over and over.

“Remember Kennedy-Johnson?”

Yep. And there is some evidence that Johnson was involved in Kennedy’s assassination. If Obama is on the top of the ticket, he would be advised to never turn his back on the Beast.

I personally don’t believe Hillary will allow Obama to live long enough for this to happen.

Would you want to be the only thing standing between Hillary and the presidency?

Obama-Clinton, a hate-filled dream ticket

Such a ticket would make evident even to the unobservant the fact that Obama is little more than a political calculator with a resonant speaking voice, something the observant have known for quite a while. In addition, were Hillary to accept the vice-presidency, her dream of becoming the first female President of the United States would vaporize. She'd rather kill Obama's political career than give up that dream.

I said from the start there would be an Obama/Hillary ticket or a Hillary/Obama ticket.
Both of them will do anything to get their sorry a$$es into the White House.

I don't see Clinton and Obama ticket. Clinton without the Rev. Wright controversy would be losing this race. Rev. Wright has given her what she was laying in wait to give her the boost in her poll numbers. Other than that, she's got nothing.

She's no different in policy or ideas than Obama. She's not an appealing or compelling personality. But she one thing he doesn't, and that is a very powerful vicious unrelentless Clinton thug machine and they will fight until she gets what she is so ambitiously obsessed in obtaining and that is ultimate power.

Obama in her mind needs to be vanquished. She will find great gloating pleasure in that.

Andrew provides more and stronger arguments against than for.

The strongest: Hillary! as V.P. starting in 2009 would never be President, because if Obama were to be a success in office, he would run again in 2012. WHEN he is a disaster in office, that will make 2012 a Republican year. IF Hillary! were to be Obama’s V.P., AND Obama is a disaster, Hillary! would go down in flames with him.

Obama will not offer V.P. to Hillary! and she would not accept if he were to offer it. BOTH of them would rather wait for 2012 and run against a non-incumbent Republican.

I have spoken.

Hillary doesn't have to kill him. She can impeach him.

The Clintons own the Justice Department. Remember, Bill fired all the federal prosecutors at the start of his first term and replaced them with Clinton cronies. Bush left these maggots in place (a mistake we'll pay for for a very long time), and they've had the run of the place for fifteen years.

Evidence will be "found," old FBI files will be reopened, and enough House members will agree that "the seriousness of the charges" warrents investigation. Ta-da! Obama is out, Hillary is in.

Vince Foster is dead because the knowledge he held could have prevented the beast from attaining power.

I believe there's a rock in Ft. Marcy Park with Obama's name on it, courtesy of Hillary Clinton.

Nah, Arkancide is her only option. Even if she has the evidence, there is no way they'd impeach the First Black President. The blacks would bolt the party, and the Democrat Party would be forever sidelined.
