Comments on: Why are Clintons pushing Hillary-Obama ticket?

The obvious reason the Clintons are planting the seed of the idea is to try and generate votes. They're trying to sway those undecided voters (especially one leaning towards Obama) to think voting for her in the primary is a vote for both. She would, of course, *never* put Obama on the ticket if she wins the primary. It's an interesting strategy – but I think, once again, the Clintons are under-estimating the intellegence of the voter.

I think it's a great idea. Let Barack run around giving motivational speeches and raising funds at VP, while Hillary calls the shots as President. It makes the best use of both their strengths.

Why, not? if I know I am going to loose the battle then why not try to be number 2? All Hillary is doing is trying to make sure that Barack will choose her as VP. She knows she will not be on top of such a ticket. She will do or say anything though to get back at Washington.

These are exactly the type of tactics on clintons part that would make me stay home on election day if she was the nominee.

Maybe she is tired of reaching to that phone at 3AM and wants someone else to answer it for her.

The Clintons' comment about Barack Obama being the vice presidential candidate should not only be considered a 'political flip- flop' but should be seen as a sign of desperation on Hilary Clinton's part. It shows that Hillary can and will go to any length to win the nomination and further divide the democratic party.

The big questions is why is she(Hillary) not considering herself for the VP position. I applaud Obama's comment earlier on today and I want voters to read between the lines. Hillary need to be cautioned by the democratic party regarding her attempts to disrupt the party and suffice it to say that the democrats will have themselves to blame if they lose in November.

We need to put the poilitics of the past behind us and let us accept the CHANGE that is sweeping across America.

Suddenly the Clintons are not about hearing the voters. They want to game the system and scheme for super-delegates, etc. We have a process here that works. Let's let the American people have their say, and then we'll know who's the winner at the end. Don't "disenfranchise" the voters!

Because Hillary and Bil are no better than Bush and Rove, they're just Democrats. Win at all costs, spin everything, distort the truth, whatever it takes to defeat the "enemy." in this case its Obama. What the Clintons, and "older voters" fail to understand is that we ("younger voters") are sick of this ruthless attitude. And we strongly reject the use of Rovian tactics no matter who's side it benefits. WAKE UP AMERICA and stop living in the past. 50%+1%= 4 YEARS OF BICKERING.

The tide is turning for Obama.....He is slowly losing ground. He used to be so much more popular, but the same ol, same ol,"change" he promices, is wearing out, becuase that's all he can say he promises, even tho his so=called change, is no different than Hillery's change.

Obama has a lot of nerve in my opinion to shoot it down like he is just too important to consider Vice President. A FRESHMAN SENATOR! Can you say EGO???????????????

There IS a difference between President and Vice President and I don't think he has the experience to be President (YES – I REALLY BELIEVE IT – not because anyone told me. I was saying it long before it became common...). That said, if they did run together I think it would be a great ticket. Ironic who all the Obamites are nailing Hillary for suggesting it when Obama is the one who keeps saying he will reunite the country. NOT.

He gets the nom – I'm planning to stay home in November.
