Obama/Clinton ticket?

Subject: Obama/Clinton ticket? Wed Jun 04, 2008 2:59 pm

It appears that Obama has clinched the nomination and all that remains to be seen is whether Hillary will be his running mate. That would gather a lot of votes from both the black voters and the female voters, although not everyone votes simply on that criteria.

If McCain wants the White House, I think he has a long way to go and needs to really do some strong campaigning. The republicans have either not been campaigning or have been completely overshadowed by all the hype on the other side. Or maybe I am just not hearing about it!

Hillary wants to talk to Mr. Obama before she announces her plans from what the news is reporting. I think I would like to be a fly on the wall to hear the negotiations in that room!

I'm not sure if an Obama/Clinton ticket is viable after the way those two fought for the nomination. It would probably be a very strong ticket, likely to win if it could be done, but I just not sure if it's doable. One thing does seem sure though, the Democrats have a better chance at the white house than the Republicans, especially after George W. Bush and the Iraq war. I think for the most part, Americans want their nation's troops out of Iraq, not to stay there another 100 years at a cost of tens of trillions of dollars.

Hillary/Obama is the Ticket With Something To Piss Off Everybody.

What people miss when they try to add up postitives is that negatives add up, too.

Obama needs to run with a nice, likeable smart white guy like Edwards or that Senator from Virginia...somebody electable.

They need to put the Clinton era behind them, and the Bush era as well.

Personally I think Hillary should have run with a nice, likeable smart white guy like, oh maybe Al Gore on the ticket with her. You know, the guy who actually won the 2000 election.

You mean the guy who lost the 2000 elections when somebody more likeable and qualified (a leprous dog, say) would have won it?

"Hillary/Obama is the Ticket With Something To Piss Off Everybody."

What a great line, Lin. Wish I had thought of it. I didn't, so I'll just steal it.

I've already said I won't be voting for either Obama or McCain, and I won't.

Maybe an Obama/Clinton ticket will piss a lot of people off, but if they run together it will be pissing those same folks off for the next 16 years. That's 8 with Obama as Prez, and the next 8 with Hillary in the top slot.

This is a scary election! Maybe a write in candidate will pop up somewhere along the road. But I doubt it!

Can't prove it by me Lin. I'm still trying to recover my memory from being brainwashed by the people who believed in Reagan and two Bushs.

Subject: Re: Obama/Clinton ticket? Sat Jun 14, 2008 1:58 pm

You are correct, Lin - FDR and then Truman.
It shouldn't be that way in any country claiming to be a democracy, but race will play a major role in this election. That no longer will be true once everyone born prior to about 1960 is pushing up daisies.

The qualifications to become President of the United States is unclear. It certainly hasn't much to do with education.
Neither Abe Lincoln nor Harry Truman had a college education and they did rather well.
Men with ability and capability don't even seek the office of President. Why would they want to degrade themselves and comprimise their principles by running for President? They must conform to the party line and that is either extreme right or left. There is no middle-of-the-road party although there could be. Middle of the road would mean doing what is right for the average American. Instead we either cater to the wealthy or to the poor. The rich find ways to pay very little tax and the poor pay little if any. The middle class is usually stuck with most of the work and the burden of tax.
Getting elected president in recent years has much to do with the influence of big money and the manipulation of religious organizations to support a popular cause - a cause that is given lip service by the candidate to get elected.

The requirement that one must be born in America to be President has now changed. They have bent those rules for McCain. Seems rules can be bent or changed to suit those with power and influence.

So what else is new?

That's why I favor a draft for president and all elected offices. It couldn't get much worse.
