Republicans’ worst nightmare
Majority of Dems want Clinton to be V.P.
55 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents surveyed think Obama should offer the New York senator a spot on his ticket. That number is significantly influenced by Clinton’s supporters — close to 75 percent of her backers want the No. 2 spot to be offered.
Sen. Chuck Schumer said he at first didn’t think such a team was possible but now believes “it could be.”
“Hillary and Barack have both run very strong and great races, and I think they’d be a strong ticket together,” he said.
Rep. Charlie Rangel, who also backs Clinton, also put his support behind a joint ticket Monday. Speaking on CNN, the New York congressman said such a scenario would be “terrific,” adding “I hope it works out that way.”
UNSTOPPABLE.
Some think Obama will have a tough time, pointing to states like OH and FL where McSame looks competitive with Obama. With Hillary on the ticket, now leading in those states, the Democratic ‘Dream ticket’ would carry FL, OH and a landslide victory. The Republicans fear this possibility, although few of them will admit it. Particularly when it looks like a sure thing that the Dems will increase majorities in both houses and possibly approach the 60 vote filibuster breaking threshold in the Senate. (heh… Just to think, a few years ago we had Republicans drunk on power in the Senate, Frist threatening to subdue the Democrats with the nuclear option).
As a compliment to Barack, Republicans are now imitating his ‘Change’ theme. They can’t beat him, so they imitate him.
Things look tough for McSame - the perceived direction of the country, his association with Bush, a pending convention revolt by Ron Paul supporters, and Bob Barr’s entry into the race all spell doom for McSame.
Please - no.
I live in New York City - Hillary would be an INCREDIBLY BAD choice for any ticket. In that regard, it grieves me that such a lying, egotistical person is my senator.
There are so many good choices out there (some from across party lines): Sam Nunn, Chuck Hagel, Lincoln Chafee . . .giving any more credit (or support) to “Queen Whitewater” would just boil our presidential election down to bad comedy!
ANYONE BUT HILLARY IN 2008 !!!!
I live in NYS and definitely vote for Hillary no matter what. Obozo doesn’t have any plans. What we going to gather in the Captiol building, eat granola and sing kumbaya while “change” comes about in the country? Hardly — republicans will fight him tooth and nail the whole way. Sure he has good ideas but won’t be able to implement them. Besides as President he will have to make a decisions **gasp** imagine that! Won’t be able to just vote PRESENT over a 160 times as he already has in the Senate in less than two years. Sorry Obozo but being President involves making a choice. Then McBush or McSame or… whatever you want to call him. No chance at all, almost as bad as Obozo.
Due to their genuine ignorance, these must be Republican commenters. Falling for the BULLSHIT story about Obama voting present 160 times.
Both Obama’s GovTrack page and his Washington Post Votes Database page show that Obama has never voted “present” as a U.S. senator. Obama has missed fewer votes during the current Congress than Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who missed 297 votes this Congress. In the previous Congress, Obama missed 11 votes while McCain missed 58.

There you go, fucking up a perfectly contented fantasy with facts, again.

Yea, proves my assertion, they fear the dream ticket. These commenters are probably sockpuppets for our usual suspects.

Unstoppable. If you’re describing the amount of bullshit that would come out of that ticket, you’d be correct.
If you’re describing the torrent of poorly-written entitlement legislation that would flow from the President and Congress, you’d be correct.
If you’re describing the invariable onslaught of TV Ads talking about change without giving details or finding popular support of their programs, you’d be correct.
One thing is for sure. Two years of Barack/Hillary would have the Congress in 2011 packed with Republicans.

Will it, Republicans today have brought the country to the brink. We need Conservatives, Constitutionalists, not more of the same (Obama/Hillary/McCain/Bush)
Don’t vote for Bush’s Third Term - vote for Jimmy Carter’s 2nd. What an inspirational slogan.
everyone knows the republican brand is badly damaged. the question is why, who is responsible? the answer is plain as the nose on your face, gw bush, the worst president in us history. but we can not blame one man for this damage. the culprits who fucked the republican party are the asshole dimwits that voted for him twice. you know who you are. glen dean, 9, brian, captain, serr8d, you guys are who fucked your republican brand. without your ignornance, stupidity and failure to learn through failure, you have elevated the opposition party to a position of dominance and one party rule. and i say rule because the asshole you supported ruled with complete authority, ignoring the people, changing law through signing statements, ignoring all checks, balances and investigations. you had your chance, you could have spoken up against this arrogant incompetent president, but you didn’t. now the next administration will inherit this unprecedented power. hillary may enjoy the power that dick cheney has set as precedent and run the government behind the back of president obama. the senate and house will both gain for democrats. you gave the democrats this power and you must take responsibility for it. we thank you, you dumb mother fuckers.
JTF, well said. I suggest you ask Glen Dean for permission to post. I like what you have to say. (I would suggest not calling him a “dumb mother fucker” or “asshole” if you’d like to post, but otherwise … go for it).
There’s a check in the balance of power every election you dumb fucking twat. Democrats just have a tendency to offer up far left morons and lose. Then you whine and seethe for 2, 4 and 6 years about “black box voting”.
Funny how that charge goes away when you win an election. Though I’m not supporting a candidate this time around, and as much as I hate McCain, he will still wipe the floor with Jug Ears or Cankles.
So this time around it will be a certified War Hero against two Marxists with ties to terrorists. It’s going to be brutal but somehow I know we’ll be saying “in your fucking face” come November 2nd.
Keep your handkerchief handy, fuck-o.

I’m going to enjoy reposting that in November, meathead.

Not in 2000
If I had a nickel for every signing statement, every subpoena ignored, every corrupt Republican, every abuse of power… JTF has a point.
I’ve always hoped I’d see the end of racial bigotry in America, but it’ll never happen. That’s the last hurdle for Obama and with people like Brian around, ignorance and bigotry may prevail. But I hope not.
Did you just call Brian a racist for not supporting Obama?
Write it down. Tattoo it on your forehead.
Everybody who doesn’t support Obama is a racist. That’s why they’ll never vote for Clinton if she somehow pulls it out. And if he did win you could look forward to the whole country being called racists every day for 4 years until some disgruntled Democrat clinging to his shotgun and religion from West Virginia guns him down.
The key question in Bush v. Gore was voted 7-2. And if that was such a big fucking deal then where has been the Democrat push to eliminate the electoral college for the past eight years?
Nowhere. That’s where. Trying to buy off their undemocratic Superdelegates and “disenfranchising” voters from Florida. “Oh, the ironing” as they say.

5-4. Nice revisionist bullshit, just as I would expect.
