SIMPLE UNITY

I need to read up on HTML, here we're go again... It really is quite simple. If Obama gets the nomination, Hillary Clinton is Vice President, and if Clinton gets the nomination, Barack Obama is the Vice President. I cannot believe I hear people in the media, and on these blogs continuously discounting a "Dream Ticket". If you are scared, don't be, and if you are offended, or do not like the other, get over it. Because, if its Obama alone, or Clinton alone, the presidency will go to McCain.

Together we stand, divided we fall, remember that? Obama has a problem with blue-collar white Americans, the so-called Reagan Democrats. So, who in the world could he put on his ticket to help him with this problem? Yes, it really is that simple!

In discussing Hillary Clinton as a Vice Presidential nominee, I heard one MSNBC analyst (Matthews) say there is no way these Reagan Democrats could vote Republican in the general, if Obama ran without Clinton. I must say, I honestly do not know what kind of vendetta Matthews has with the Clintons, but to him I would only have to say that Reagan democrats are so-called for a reason.

If anyone saw that crazy woman shouting at the committee meeting on Saturday, saying that she would vote for McCain in 08 because of what the Democratic Party did to women, let me tell you, I know at least 10 other crazies, my mother and her sisters are apart of them.

And, it is not just women. If Obama wants the Hispanic vote, I would suggest putting Clinton on the ticket as well.

The sooner Democrats realize that we can have our cake and eat it too, then maybe will stop throwing it at each other. We are the party of identity politics, in one hand we have Obama's representative identity, and in the other hand there is Clinton's representative identity. Stop trying to figure out which one is better. Instead, lets put our hands together, and finally get some work done. It really is so much easier when we can use both!

Still a Clinton 08' supporter.

Whether on top or bottom, she'll work to get the job done because she's flexible that way.

Okay, Maybe

But this is the only way I can see myself voting for the dems this year. If not, may vote for McCain or sit this one out this year. I have not decided yet.

No way! He divided it and cannot unite it!

Cannot and will not vote for him and if necessary I'll wait and see if Obama supporter Pelosi and her crew can rein in McCain. I doubt it though because her stripes have been exposed and her idolence in her job as speaker has shown she is not a leader at all. They have decimated our party and it's not a pretty thing!
  
yes

I agree. The only way to unify the party is for a joint ticket. I cannot guarantee that some of Hillarys' supporters will vote for a ticket with Obama as President but I know some that will.
  
Strongly Disapprove

We tried this strategy in '04 with Kerry (first place) and Edwards (runner-up). I like Edwards, but had Kerry chosen Dick Gephardt or Bob Graham, perhaps we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.

Simply put, these people don't really like each other and wouldn't make a good team.

With respect to Kerry and Edwards, they are NOT Hillary Clinton. But, if those who dissapprove a "Dream Ticket" get their way, DO NOT blame Clinton if Obama loses.

Still a Clinton 08' supporter.
