t makes me nervous that the Democratic Party is pushing the concept of a "dream ticket" again. And since Barack Obama will reach the vaunted 2025 delegate count within weeks, he should not be made to compromise in any fashion on HIS choice of VP.

It's very interesting that recently when Ted Kennedy simply stated that he didn't think it was a "good idea" having Hillary as VP, Rahm Emanual slammed him in the press. He said, "...I don't know how the hell he comes off saying that". Something is underfoot to force Obama to take Hillary on as VP within the Democratic party. It's almost like there's a campaign being waged.

To be blunt about it, Hillary does not deserve to be on the ticket. She has run a dishonorable campaign. There is still a lot of drama within her camp. She has hit Obama below the belt many times.

Imagine her as VP in an Obama administration. He is attempting to change Washington, to prioritize the America people. But Hillary would keep taking the largest amount of lobbyist contributions of any congressperson?. In effect she would still be obligated to serve their interests. And this will quickly lead to a huge fissure between her and Obama.

An Obama/Hillary ticket is a disaster in the making. And it must be opposed at all costs.

Not to mention that Hillary just requested a record 2.3 BILLION dollars in earmarks for 2009. How would that jive with Obama's call for a break from old-style Washington politics?

I cannot believe that this is true. The power structure is really interested in having Hillary on the ticket. This is very dangerous. Hillary is not interested in doing the same things to the same degree that Obama wants to do things.

Hillary cannot be one heartbeat from the presidency, because then the Clinton's will begin plotting Obama's demise. Take that anyway you want to.

This whole post was a publicity stunt. Billy is still supporting a liar named Hillary. Don't be fooled.

Obama has far more white voters than Hillary has black voters. So you figure the logistics out from there, smartazz.
