Hat's off to Bill Clinton. I will give my undying support to Barack Obama in eight years. You get three for the price of one with Hillary. WooHoo, welcome to the White House Democrats!

Hiya WestCoastMessenger - He's right, we are right, now we just need to educate the new voters into understanding what is right and best for the country and the world.

We will be force to bring Hillary along as VP for the additional delegates. a Obama/Hillary ticket is the only solution.

Obama: "You Won't See Me as a VP Candidate"

To former President Clinton: this is the meaning of "is" (I guess the clintons are admitting they need Obama on thier ticket to beat him)

Forget it--

OH I have a solution for the FL MI debacle. The SD's that serve on the state committees should have their votes stripped as punishment and possibly all of the SDs in those states. Independent money sources can fund primaries in those states (since there is not time to re-educate voters how to caucus and the fiasco in TX proves a caucus cannot work well in those states because they are too large.) Voters will have a second opportunity to then cast a vote and have their voices heard.

An Obama/Clinton(s) ticket would not be in the offing. He's got way to much class for that.

I agree, the young voters need education. They need to face reality. Even in a corporation, drastica change will hurt. So, drastic change for the country will damage the country. Remember Soviet Union, how it clapsed in a short time period? We need Hillary to safely lead the country, and in the mean time, to change something gradually.

How many of you have spent time with both candidates? I have...in living rooms and town halls...where people asked questions. Hillary is far from the better choice.

Educate the voters? What makes you think that voters have to be "educated" to fall in line with your beliefs? I believe it's the Obama voters who are the more educated.

Obama / Biden would be mine.

I agree with dl. I watched their debates and town halls. Hillary is much better. She is extremely smart, steady, detail-oriented. When comes to presidency after being elected, lots of detailed work need to do. I don't think Obama can do it. Obama needs lots of advisors, assistants, he is kind of overhead while Hillary can be supervisor by herself.

He knows there is no chance in hell there will ever be a Obama/Clinton ticket - let along a Clinton/Obama ticket. Hillary will never asked and even if she did, Obama would never accept. Shame on Bill. Of course I don't know why I'm surprised, these tactics are coming from a VERY DISGRACED president. Now I see why his poll numbers have fallen. So much for his legacy. His legacy is as much in the toilet now as George.

Clinton on top of the ticket despite loosing the never having a pledged delegate lead or leading the popular vote???

Bill better go back and actually INHALE this time!

Obama no way. If in the worst case, he wins nomination, I will vote for McCain. I like safe choice. Warren Buffett told me that, never buy unknown stock, untested stock. Obama is unknown and untested. Remember how many bubble stocks crashed?

Always a trick ,never fails they think of ways to get back in so the American peopel can pay for their goodies.Can't win on your own so now bring Obama in on it.The Clinton's are not to be trusted...........Never see the two of them on one tciket I like Biden too.Good choice>>>>>>>>>>

Obama/Zinni
Obama/Webb
Obama/Dodd
Obama/Sebelius
Obama/Richardson
Obama/Shinseki
Obama/Hagel
Obama/Napolitano
Obama/Biden
Obama/Warner
Obama/anybody but Clinton

And Clinton/Obama? That is a sad joke in the face of a contest she is loosing.

I think Obama/Richardson would be a good ticket. It brings in the Hispanic vote and the blue collar workers.

I almost wish Obama would step aside just so Hillary can fall flat on her face. Obama, his supporters, his surrogates, etc. can then tell everyone, her supporters, the Clinton media, etc. that we told you so......if we just examine the camp of both campus and he has run circles around her. They are just now co-opting his message and style. She is only campaigning in smaller states now b/c she has too, it's not b/c she wants to or that she cares about the rural voters, give me a break!

And here her loser husband has the nerve to think his wife can win a general election. Saying she can unite the new energy. How can she do that? She drips of negativity. People don't respond to negativity, hate, anger, etc. and that is all that I see coming from her camp and her.

What's so sad about all of this is no matter whom the Dem. nominee is, the Repubs will win all thanks to the Clintons and stupid misguided voters of Tx and Oh. At least the voters of Tx. weren't as stupid!

ROB has got it right.

No matter how many contests or how many delegates Hillary lost, I always strongly believe Hillary is a better choice than Obama. Remember how many people said Warren Buffett was out-dated, he dared not to try new stocks? Remember how many people addicted to bubble stocks, 'buy, buy, it will be up, up'? It turned out, the minority is right, I mean the people like Warren Buffet who has fewer supporters at that time, he is the right one. I mean, sometimes, we can not solely based on who temporarily wins at that time.

I just love how certain some of these posters are of their position. Are these the same posters who said Hillary would be finished on Tuesday. In Politics, nothing is certain, and if Obama is offered the VP spot he'd better take it, same for Clinton.

Remember Warren Buffett said, 'No loss means win!'. Hillary is for sure a 'no loss' choice. She is safe. I'm not saying she is perfect. I know her short comings. But we need a strong leader, a safe leader to lead the country. Obama is very risky. Lots of people vote for him, because they don't like Hillary, because they think Obama 'might' be a good choice. The key word 'might' is killing. It's like a new stock, people tak risk to buy it. You know the result of taking risk buying an unknown stocks. Didn't we lose enough money in stock market, in the 'might-be-good' stocks?

Never *EVER* gonna happen, and the Clinton camp knows it. You should ignore such bogus statements, and encourage those around you to ignore them too, every time a Clinton utters that fantasy.

So why then do she and Bubba keep saying it?

Actually, it's a phony, cynical, clever little ploy on their parts.

First, despite the reality of the situation, they want Obama supporters to begin to believe that Hillary rather than Obama will prevail in this fight (she won't). But more importantly, she's trying to get less-educated voters to believe somehow that they can still "get" Obama by voting for her. "See," she falsely tries to convince and manipulate you, "you CAN vote for me and STILL have Obama too!"

Cynical snake oil, pure and simple. She's running a game on the slow and the uninformed.

Don't buy the lie.

I fully agree with Angel. Obama can be trained during his VP period. Then run for presidency.

Hey Angel,

Are you still believing in polls? Please. What that suggest to me is his supporters want her far less than her supporters want him.

Doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is the future of the party going forward and the likely hood of winning future contest going forward - moreso for the near future. Don't forget there will be other contest on the ticket come Nov. as well.....and in the years ahead....

Bill Clinton knows best!

My bottom line is, even if I don't like one thing for some aspects, don't think another thing 'might-be-better'. In a lot of cases, that 'anothing thing' 'might-be-worse', because that 'another thing' is untested.

Allison said it best. The Clintons need Obama more than he needs their putrid support. But I guess he's suppose to roll over and thank his lucky stars after that woman browbeat him for the past 3 weeks. No thanks, Hill.

Clinton/McCain 08

JFK was younger than Obama. We know how great he was. Is the age an issue for strong mind? I do not think so.
ciliziman

I am so angry about the Clintons and this new strategy of trumpeting unsolicitedly their "openness" to Obama as the VP to make people believe that they can have both, of course with Obama on the bottom of the ticket, even though she has virtually O chance of winning on pledged delegates. I hate this kind of politicking which has continually made so many of us so cynical and disengaged.

The arrogance...to suggest that Sen. Obama be Sen. Clinton's VP running mate when he leads her by 600,000 popular votes...has won nearly twice as many states and leads her substantially in the delegate count. Sen. Clinton and her husband are playing on the fable that it they talk about it enough they will force Sen. Obama to accept Clinton as HIS VP running mate when she loses. Trouble is, her mismanaged campaign, her phenominally divisive nature, the fact that she is a woman who will try and dicate the agenda of the president more so than VP Cheney, are all factors against choosing her...oh, yeah, and the fact that once a general election is under way Republicans will have a field day with the endless scandals the Clinton's have been engrossed in since DAY ONE and continue to plague them. No thanks. I think Sen. Obama has already exercised better judgment than that.

I say, get Gore back into this, you know he has been waiting in the wings. A Gore/Hillary ticket would be unstoppable, and change the world! And for Obama.....well, I suppose Illinois still believes his crap, so he can go back there to finish his unspectacular senate career, and then join Oprah as co-host of her show.

One problem. Barack Obama is up in the delegates, popular vote and Hillary would have to sweep the rest of the states big time to even be in the lead. They'd both have to use supers to get over the top but the super delegates will do what is right for the party and choose the person with the most popular support (delegates and votes). I don't know what kind of world B. Clinton is living in if he thinks the supers will override the will of the voters.

MAYBE Obama/Hillary. But Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic nominee no matter how much Bill might wish she was.

justice

you obviously don't know that al and hill aren't really buddies.

If you don't trust me, trust warren Buffett. Warren just became the richest person in the world. Warren is Hillary's supporter, he helped collecting donations for Hillary. I guess Bill Gates is inclined to clinton too. Remember in those bubble stock years, the ones lost money, the ones don't trust Warren Buffet are all highly-educated persons? Just like now, lot of highly-educated persons vote for Obama. I'm highly educated too, I'm Ph.D. I trust Warren Buffett. 'No loss is win!', I don't buy unknown stocks.

For the highly educated persons, never think you are smarter than Warren Buffett.

A Clinton/Obama ticket will be a horrible decision on Obama's part. Look at what happened to Al Gore. If the Clintons are that desperate for the US Presidency, they can have it if they can but not at the expense of Obama's credibility. To anyone saying Hillary is a safe ticket for the presidency, remember this. Hillary vs McCain = So-called Experience vrs More Exprience. The voters will be smart to go for MORE EXPERIENCE. If it is Obama vs McCain, it would be Change vs More Experience. Voters always like change. They will vote for Obama. Let common sense reign in the Democratic Party, not a cowering to the pressure of an over-ambitious couple.

Walter Sprit, you are wrong. Obama is the one over-ambitious. 46 years old, 2 year senator, and run for president. I'm trembling.

Do the math. If Obama agrees to go on the same ticket with Hillary, he will get

people supporing him + people supporting her - people who vote ABC (anyone but Clinton) - people who refuse to vote for Obama - people who do not like this combination
< people supporting him

Why would Obama want to do go on the ticket with her?

I also propose to share wealth with Warren Buffet. I believe the luxurious life style will be unstoppable for me. Warren Buffet would agree, wouldn't he?

Lots of people make logic mistake like that, if I don't see person bad yet, means this person is good. NO!! That dones't mean 'I've ALREADY SEEN this person good!' ---- There is difference between 'didn't see bad' and 'seen good'. I already seen good things Clinton brought to the country. Of course I saw the bad things too, but comparing to the good things, the bad things are so small. I care the economy the most. I want my 401K safe, I don't want to see layoff any more.

Yes a tiket McCain/Clinton will make it, that is the American Dream Ticket which will blend their friendship and their camaraderie for ever. Clintons are down and want to take verbal lead on decisions which are no more theirs.

golfgirlusa said, "I want my 401K safe, I don't want to see layoff any more." Wow that's why you support Hillary? Her NFATA lost Ohio 200,000 jobs! And now they let her win in Ohio! golfgirlusa, you insisted on not knowing if Obama will do good things. But didn't you already see Hillary causing all these layoffs?

The arrogance of Clinton supporters rallying to a Clinton/Obama ticket is just breath taking. Obama should serve as her VP for eight years, "receive training" and then run on his own. What a bunch of patronizing, arrogant individuals make up the Clinton cotillion.

Just how many times in history has a VP been elected to succeed a President? Twice...once in the 19th Century and once in the 20th.

I think the dream team would be a Obama/Bloomberg ticket.

All of these hints at Clinton/Obama ticket by Bill, HIllary and there gang remind of various tales involving a once great artist who in the face of great new talent can only respond by saying "this new talent is not truly great and not worthy of your attention or respect... but let him spend time with me and I will make him a great indeed." At best the story is depressing and sad, as we witness the fall of a once great personality. However, more often the story takes on a more sinister and tragic end, when former is unable to see past their own personal needs, desires and ends.

My guess is that Hillary would rather have Lieberman on her ticket.

Clinton/Obama never happen.
Obama/Clinton never happen. Remember the Clintons friends Ron Brown, Vince Foster, Barack is not that stupid. Hillary will not stop until she's on top.

When will this couple stop manipulating the public??????
Surely a Bill / Hillary or Hillary / Bill would be the funniest, but voters seem to prefer Obama.

If Obama is chosen, he will be free to pick his running mate. It is likely that he will not play the old political games and will pick somebody transparent, who will not pretend to release his or tax returns after elections are passed.

With all of Sen. Clinton's "hands-on" foreign policy experience as First Lady, I wonder how much influence she had in granting clemency to 16 FALN terrorists during her co-Presidency. Is that 3 a.m. call answered by someone who is going to protect the country or someone who is going to let terrorists go free at the condemnation of Congress? To be exact, the condemnation read, in part that the act was: "...an unmistakable message to terrorists that the United States does not punish terrorists in the most severe manner possible under the law, making terrorism more likely and endangering every American."

Are the Clinton's schizophrenic? One day they are trashing Obama: saying McCain is qualified and he isn't; saying he's Ken Starr... The next maybe he should be VP? What kind of nonsense is this?

There are only two reasonable options for Hillary left:
1. Cut the negative campaigning and try to carry out an above board campaign win or lose.

2. Drop out now

Of course, there is also the unreasonable option: continue to trash Obama and either end up with a weakened nominee in Obama or a blood-soaked nominee in Clinton... Who's to say what she might choose??

I thought Hillary was running to be John McCain's Vice President?

I think the tivket would be Obama and hillary as the vp. She can't win against McCain, all the polls show that. This person is just not likable. Doesn't mean she doesn't have the right stuff. But she's not likable. Polls say she doesn't come across as trustworthy. You know thats hurting her. Obmaa clinton vp. Obama is not going to go as VP. That dog wouldn't hunt

The Clintons are losing Wyoming tonight.

Let them divorce or move to Dubai, where their money is, but let them please leave us alone. We cannnot stand them ANY longer. America has to get rid of these sick power maniacs. They are political pollution.

Clever. They are attempting to turn "hope" and "excitement" against Obama. If they can get the people excited about the Hillary/Obama ticket then they can get Obama to concede, or at worst, have to turn against his own support. Also, they are trying to set up a scenario that if Hillary wins or loses, that the people will be eager for a H/O ticket. Obama would have great pressure to put her there, and that would be a disasterous ticket. Believe me.

Just as a curiosity: did anybody hear before a story of a loser choosing the winner for his or her VP.
The Clintons are really dangerously unbalanced.

Did everyone forget about John Edwards?
He has 26 delegates! Somebody must have
liked him! I think an Obama/Edwards ticket would be good. Too bad Huckabee is a republican because next to Barack Obama, I liked him the best. I think both men have very superior intelligence, integrity and honesty! More than I can say for old "Ironsides", Hillary!

Why not a ticket Hillary/Bill? They do not need Barack. The Obama/Clintons is illegal since only 2 people can be on the ticket not three. The Clintons alone make the ticket. I am just afraid that when the phone rings at 3 am that Bill might no be available...too busy with interns.

Bill, go iron Hillary's pant suits at 3 a.m...

The truth is: the Clintons are the most unstoppable LYING MACHINE in recent history of the US.

Okay, which is it Clintons....is he ready for the 3AM call or not, a day ago she says she and McCain are the only ones ready for the 3AM phone call, AND NOW, they have the audacity to say they want him for VP......but the criteria of VP is that you can step in at a moment's notice. So which is it? You can't have it both ways! Oh yeah, this is the Clintons, I forgot.

I think we owe Hillary a Barack Obama/Samantha Power ticket.

Obama is too smart to get " gored" by the Clintons.

He does not need them. He has the American people.

hi guys i like man on the top. haha.our baby Hillary is losing. dont attack Obama baby. you need him.

Here you Go....John McCain/Hillary Clinton....Bill Clinton/Barrack Obama....This is powerful stuff....

A Clinton/Obama ticket would be a very stoppable farce!! As one who is sitting on the independent fence, I can assure you that I could never vote for a ticket that had Clinton on the top or the bottom- this would be a disaster for the Democratic party.

Why Bill Clinton is even answering that question is beyond me...and, from my own viewpoint, why would someone with honor and integrity go on the same ticket as someone with NO honor and NO integrity? It would only make them look bad and damage their political future in the long run.

Obama cant win without Hillary supporters so all of you suggesting someone else wake up. As a Hillary supporter if she isnt on the ticket my vote goes to McClain.

Mark Webb, I agree with you...very sick indeed! I am thoroughly amazed at all the ignorant Clinton supporters out there urging Obama (who is WINNING) to drop out so he can be VP for Clinton (the one LOSING)...only goes to show that the Clinton campaign has a whole bunch of uneducated supporters brainwashed...lite rinse....

I also agree with the poster who says Bill Clinton is using this to sway 'on the fencers' who might vote for Hillary if they thought she'd make Obama her VP...Clinton never does or says anything without a political motive!

Does anyone really believe that the "values voters" that put Bush over the top against a decorated Veteran, will ever vote for someone that belongs to a black separatist church and who is named Barack Hussein Obama?

I don't which is scarier Hillary or Obama or Bill, but the do belong in the big house - with bars. We do need someone from Hope, Arkansas, but it certainly isn't a Clinton. Huckabee was and still is the best choice. He is honest and we need someone like him and his integrity. Let's start a write-in campaign for him.

Democrats remember: Gotabee Huckabee.

OBAMA/ EDWARDS......That would be a ticket nobody could touch. If the Clintons are anywhere on the tickets I am sure the republicans will walk away with it. I dislike McCain Very much but I hate the Clintons more.We know what we have when we deal with the Clintons so we might as well give Mc Cain a chance. He will have my vote if there is even a hint of a Clinton!
As for Ohio, let's just remember, they are the ones who put GW Bush in the Whitehouse too so that must say something for their mentality. It must be the water. As for Texas, The majority of those votes came from people who screwed up their own country and came here illeagally and are now trying screw up ours...so much for Hillary supporters.....Nuff Said???

Dear Hillary Fans:

Get it through your thick skulls: She is LOSING. She is in SECOND place. By all ways of doing the math, she will end up in second place.

Obama/Clinton, maybe.

Clinton/Obama...no way.

The unbeatable ticket is really:

Obama/Richardson

They would win NM, probably CO and possibly Texas and FLA. With Obama's strengths, and Bill's foreign experience, they are unbeatable....truly unbeatable.

Realist...Be Real. After what Gw Bush and His republican bushbots have done to this country, which is more damage than all the terrorist nations combined do you really believe that there will be any republican left in office after the next election ??
Now remember..."BE REAL!"

Get it through your head Hillary has won all the MAJOR Democrat states. He has won states that will be red for McClain in Nov. She has the people in the large states needed for the electoral college numbers.

I was sitting here wondering why the Hillary supporter's never write gramatically correct sentences... then I remembered... nevermind

Bill Clinton is saying he is willing to accept the jr Vice President position... if he can just get back in the White House one more time... well, until Chelsea's ready.

Hey Dave, that's what everyone was saying 4 years ago and look what happened.

George from New York, that was a brilliant name assessment.

Ricardson barely won his own state. You must be one of those who is counting on him to be easy on the illegal occupiers of our country. OBAMA/ EDWARDS has the delegates and the support of the majority.

The Clintons read polls like two witches peering into a crystal ball.

Threatening scorched earth is their answer to knowing Hillary will not get the nomination.

Why?

They think it sets up leverage on the DNC to force Barack to put her on his ticket.

Why?

She could then run in four or eight years. She gets staff, airplanes, credibility, access, press coverage, fund raising, and no more boring wasted hours sitting as a senator which is no longer useful in crafting the illusion of "experience".

She also can ride shotgun on the White House files, Bill's tarnished image, financial paper-trails and those pesky questions about selling pardons.

"Hey Barack! Let's put me on the ticket, make me healthcare czar, and guarantee that you win! I really respect you... always have... and after all, it's in your self-interest."

The definition of a con artist is someone who can perfectly imitate the actions of an honest person.

I know .....and look at what it cost us!
People realize their mistakes now.
30 TRILLION DOLLARS AND OVER 4000 AMERICAN LIVES AND NOW FACING A VERY BLEAK FUTURE......GOOD WORK!!

JannieP, how much did the Clinton campaign pay you?

Clever is an adjective you have to use for the Clintons. They have managed you to donate your money while they loaned their money to her campaign. If you are a Hillary supporter, look at the following facts and think about it. "The 35 years of experience" donot mean a squat! - The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance - Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates* - Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation - Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify - Most number of witnesses to die suddenly - First president sued for sexual harassment. - First president accused of rape. - First first lady to come under criminal investigation- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case- First president to establish a legal defense fund.- First president to be held in contempt of court- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions - Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court

Dave Peck, at least when Bubba was in the White House, we did have the best economy, more jobs created, better security, etc. What has GWU done?

4000 dead
54,000 soldiers blown into pieces with legs, arms, etc. missing?

Is Hussein your choice? Give me a break. The guy is all talk.

Obama has more experience in a legislature than Hillary. And Hillary had no experience as "wife" of the President. Even the NY Times admitted her resume was thin on experience. She grossly exaggerated her experience and credentials.
Hillary's health care plan will provide medical care for everyone - even the illegal aliens - and if we disagree with it, she promises to garnishee your wages. This is exactly her ill-thought out reasoning that caused the last health insurance debacle.
Yes, Hillary is right. She is not all talk. She did the Rose Law Firm, White Water, Travel Gate, Vincent Foster, ...etc. Oh, yes she can - she wasted millions of dollars of tax payers' money when she tried to pass health care reform when Bill was President. Oh, did I forget to mention that the Congress were occupied by the Dems then? Why failed? - she was too divisive that she couldn't have Dems to vote for it. Yes, she is not all talks - even as the Clintons were leaving the White House she took funiture from it so that she had to reimburse the government over $200,000. to avoid a national disgrace.
