Obama would like to have Hillary as his VP, he is new and needs
the brain power and experience from someone like her. Hillary on
the other hand would go back to the Senate and continue her agenda.
She has been there done that in the White House.

I thnk Obama and Clinton would make a great team which will be able to beat McCain. Watching the debates and seeing the returns last night really showed where each has the strengths and they are complimetary. I believe the unified team is able to beat the Republicans anywhere in this country.

Someone mentioned a McCain Lieberman ticket which is interesting but I do not think Lieberman is very popular, outside of Connecticut. In the 2004 election cycle he made a poor showing.

People also need to be aware of solving the problems that this country has under a convervative president and McCain will keep the troops in Iraq when there needs to be diplomacy (all of the experts say that a military strategy will not work).

A Clinton and Obama ticket is the only way that Democrats could lose the 2008 election. With so many people holding strong opinions against either Clinton or Obama, a combined ticket would not unite the Democratic Party, but rather, serve as a divisive measure to ensure Republican victory. America is eager to elect a Democratic President, but a Clinton/Obama ticket is NOT the way to go.

there is no way that those two could win together. anything with Hillary is going to cause the republicans to come out STRONG. Any one who actually thinks she can win is mistaken.. and is she does god help us all.

I will vote republican before I vote for anything with her name on it. I'm actually not even 100% on Obama but I am 100% no for her. Shes a joke. Obama has some good ideas.. but does he have what it takes? can he lead a country? these are all the questions I ask myself. My his lack of experience will help in the fact that hes not already jaded by Washington as Hillary?

I just know Hillary's stance on health care is scary. Any program that forces you to pay for something you don't need or even may not want to have is a scary scary thing

As long as Clinton leads. Obama's credibility can't be calculated, because he has no credibility...no real experience to scrutinize. He's better in a secondary role where he can gain some experience. Obama's good at spin, who knows what else.

I don't think it's essential they are on the same ticket for the democratic party to be unified. But unifying the party doesn't ensure victory. If they were to run on the same ticket, a win would be much more likely. Also, John Edwards should clearly be in the cabinet no matter who gets the nod.

A Clinton/Obama run would be the best thing to come out of this election. The Republican nominee would be like a deer in the headlights of the Clinton/Obama "change mobile" and they won't be tapping the brakes.

I'm writing again to make sure it is moderated, because it hasn't been getting through easily and I really want to get on air, I told my brother I would.
You dont have to read this last part (obviously). I heart CNN.

This would be a wonderful thing indeed, but I don't believe that an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama is necessary to unite the democratic party...

That being said, that is definitely the effect it would have. I absolutely love Wolf for bringing this up during the debates!

Atlanta – Yes, I'm personally torn between both candidates. I think a Hillary/Obama ticket would fire up the democratic party and the nation. I'd love to see it.

I think Hillary (P) and Obama (VP) would be the dream ticket to unite and to grab some red states. That other way around will not be possible, since Hillery allready had 8 years as #2.

Obama alone will loose against McCain since he has a lot of intependent backing and with Huckebee (VP) within the conservative wing.
