Yep, saying, "NO WAY" is a win for him.

It's obvious they;re polaying the "dream team" crap to try and drum up support from those who really want Obama, but like Clinton, too.

Obama basically told everybody, "the only way you ahve me is to put me at the top of the ticket."

Check and mate.

I think he should say something along the lines of Hillary seems interested in being VP on my ticket and I think that is an idea worth considering. Every time she floats the idea of a joint ticket - he should float it with the idea of her as VP. He's ahead - so a joint ticket should automatically mean him at the top. That's the narrative that should stick from this.

Biden? Wesley Clark?

And I'm sure you've performed, I mean served in a diplomatic capacity, in Ireland as well. You sir, have crossed the Commander in Chief threshhold. Welcome!

Hear! Hear! Sinbad for Veep!

Well, Obama hasn't been talking about Hillary as a VP nominee. But someone should really ask if Hillary would like to be Obama's VP.

Maybe that's how Obama should return the volley:

"I'd be interested in discussing with Clinton how HE would feel about serving as my vice president -- but as for Hillary, I'm not sure I'd want someone to serve under me who doesn't think I cross the commander in chief threshold.."

Ha... too good...

I'm thinking she's well past the point where O would consider her for VP, with the turning point the week she said she was honored to run with him and 48 hours later issued the Shame on You remark. I sincerely hope, as a matter of principle, that O has simply ruled out HRC. We also have to hope that any senior Dem officials don't press hard to put together the ticket. If a combination of Dean, Gore, Edwards, etc. strongly pushes and O-HRC ticket, we could get stuck with one. Which puts us back at risk for a huge Repub turnout to vote against HRC. Not good...

I'd agree. I've been a big Clark far (I voted for him in the 2004 primary) but he always seems to sort of miss the mark in public. He has a great resume, but just doesn't quite seem ready for prime time.

My money is on Webb or Biden. Webb has foreign policy credentials and is young enough that in 8 years, he'd be groomed for his run.

Sinbad knows what you mean. Is he a Muslim? Is he in the pocket of the A-Rabs?

I don't think he is...AS FAR AS I KNOW!

Do tell. What are these unanswered questions? And how do they compare to the unanswered questions about Hillary, like, say . . .

What was your security clearance when you were first lady?

How many conferences during national security crises did you sit in on down in the White House Situation Room?

What crises of any kind have you ever managed that didn't involve your husband's bimbo eruptions or Mark Penn's big mouth?

Why are you and Bill still holding up the release of information from the archives dating to your days as First Lady?

Where did you and your husband make all that money? Why won't you release your tax returns so we can see? Why was it bad that Rick Lazio wouldn't release his returns when you were running against him, but totally okay that you haven't released yours?

Speaking of Bill, why is he still cozying up to the dictator of Boratland?

And, speaking of money, how was it, exactly, that you made all that money on the cattles future market?

What jobs in your "35 years of experience" are not attributable to your husband's influence or position?

How exactly is it that your twelve years servicing big corporations as a partner at the Rose Law Firm count as an important part of the 35 years of experience you say you'll bring to the White House, but Obama's twelve years as a civil rights lawyer and teaching Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago don't count as meaningful experience at all?

Oh, never mind. Since she's been so thoroughly vetted already, I guess it isn't troubling at all that there are still unanswered questions.

Sinbad's not sure you understand politics.

Obama will win OH, CA, MA, and NY.

Maybe Sinbad understands these things because he's passed the Commander-In-Chief threshold of foreign policy experience.

Clinton/Sinbad - Ready for Comic Relief on Day One!

I remain skeptical that Obama would lose New Jersey, and I think with some campaigning he could win Pennsylvania.

And I think he does take Colorado in the general. Maybe even Georgia, too. And to top it all off, he takes Virginia.

Plus, don't forget that this poll is a snapshot of the electorate as it stands now in its feelings about the candidates. Obama will come under more fire... but so will McCain. Obama won't pull his punches against McCain like he's tended to with Clinton; the one time so far that they've actually dueled on an issue, Obama slapped McCain silly.

Give St. McCain a taste of Chicago politics, and he might find his halo a little tarnished.

who needs it? Who's they? Neither of them have anything to gain from being on the bottom of the ticket and basically disappearing from political life for 8 years and that is why it will never happen. Both are politicians at the height of their powers right now. They have raised more money and mobilized larger movements of voters than any politicians in the history of the democratic party. A VP slot would be a huge demotion for either of them. Why would they do that? Because looking at it 8 months out, there is some slim chance that the other one might not win? Sorry. Doesn't fly.

Actually, he's won thirty states. So, yeah, more than 20, but a little misleading the way you put it.

Let's write ten of those off, folly though it may be. But what the hell, it's your scenario, let's indulge it.

Two more you say we can toss into that bin. And evidently three more are only winnable if your name is "Clinton." Whatever.

By my count that leaves fifteen states voting for Obama, all of which -- by your metric -- are reliably blue. How many states has Clinton won again?

Will Hillary followers ever understand. Obama is re-writing the formula for political success. There are no more red and blue states. His appeal spans the deep divisions created by the Bush-Clinton political machines to keep the nation in partisan warfare. As long as we are fighting each other, the corporatons rule America. Obama is the best opportunity this nation has seen since Kennedy to become united and address major issues with ideas and visions and hope.

Many Bush and Clinton supporters are addicted to political warfare and mean, dirty politicsa as sport. Enough of them. We the people want America back and the Clintons are trying to prevent that.

I have heard many people say she is "Evil" and has no "Soul" but she told me that she isnt "Evil" and ill have to take her word for it. She isnt EVIL as far as i know.

Clinton/Bayh '08 = Lieberman/Lieberman '08

I wonder if that's part of why Ted endorsed Obama this time. Deciding to go with the nice guy for a change?

By the same token, how can Hillary one minute say that Barack is so unqualified that McCain would be better, and then in the next sentence suggest a possible "dream" (nightmare) ticket??

Talk about hypocrisy. It's just mind boggling.

"McCain-Obama means a very close contest and a probable McCain win. Hillary would beat McCain by 3 or 4 points."

You get that from your call to the psychic hotline? Gee, they told me just the reverse.

Oh, well, I'm not worried about Hillary getting the nomination, because that's not going to happen. But I AM worried about her big push all of a sudden to get the V-P nod. If anything could ruin Obama's chances (more than Hillary's praising of McCain), that would be it. Heck, I'd have to grit my teeth to vote for that ticket, myself. And I'm a big Obama fan.
