Re: President Barack Obama!

Clinton would pick Obama.
I'm not sure he would pick her though.

He could win in November without her... I'm not sure she could win without him.

Clinton Hints At Sharing Ticket With Obama

Speaking on "The Early Show" on CBS, Clinton said "that may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of the ticket."

Clinton said the race between her and Obama remains "incredibly close," with just "smidgens of difference" between them in both the popular vote and number of delegates.

Clinton's remarks came after her campaign won two big states yesterday: Ohio and Texas. She also won Rhode Island. The wins enabled her campaign to break Obama's 12-state winning streak and pick up some momentum of its own.

Speaking later on "The Early Show," Obama congratulated Clinton on her victories while maintaining he would be able to wrap up the Democratic nomination.

"We still have close to an insurmountable lead in delegates," Obama said. Obama said his campaign had won nearly twice as many states as Clinton as well as a greater share of the popular vote.
Unfortunretly I don't think McCain has much of a chance in November against either one. This feels like dejavu all over again, like we are reliving the 1996 Presidential election when the Republicans fresh from taking over the house and senate and with the President embroiled in scandals decided to blow their opportunity by nominating an elderly Senator who had zero chance of winning.

McCain has a better chance now than Dole did but not much. Especially if the economy does in fact fall into a recession. Bush gets no credit for pulling the economy out of both the recession he inerhited and the devastation that 9-11 did to it. He also gets no credit for taking the terrorists on in a proxy fight overseas helping tie them up and keeping another major attack on the homeland.

The Republicans are the "daddy" party. The protectors and firm. The Democrats are the "mommy" party. Warm and nurturing and wanting to give you everything even when they don't have it to give. The "free" stuff appeals to a lot of people who don't understand economics and the Dems will probably prevail until the next big threat or National Security disaster occurs under their watch.

... in which case many of them will find a way to blame George Bush anyway. It's always Bush's fault... somehow.

CC1, the way this thing is shaking out, I wonder if any really solid Repbulcians who could have been candidates just decided to sit it out.

History tells us this is the Dems to loose, no matter who the republicans run.

I dont know why Rush wanted to keep Hillary alive in this. I always thought you get rid of compitition as soon as possible. crazy.

1... because Hillary is more beatable than Obama. She has higher negatives, and McCain polls better against her than Obama

2... the longer she campaigns, the more negative stuff she and Obama will throw out there about each other... that can only help McCain.

Because she will target Obama the way he needs to be targeted and McCain won't be able to do that. Obama can turn and say, "You voted with us on this and that." We need Hillary in the race!

What McCain CAN DO because he was a foot soldier in the Regan Revolution is to borrow Reagan's "a great nation has a strong currency" and go on the campaign trail arguing that we need a dollar surge.

He will need to insist that the Treasury Department initiate on some open-market actions in order to boost the dollar. He needs to talk about conducting a dollar-strengthening diplomacy with Europe, Britain, Canada, Japan, etc.

He also needs to say that he is going to appoint someone else, beside Bernanke, who is ignoring the dollar and inflation.

Strengthening our dollar is an act of patriotism and will show the world, especially the "jihadists" that we are not in a decline and I think McCain can do it.

He needs to point out all of these things because the Treasury and the Federal Reserve are GOP appointees and have neglected the dollar.

He is strong on Iraq - now he needs to be strong on the dollar.

My thoughts......

I fall back to my poor dumb country boy line of thinking.

I grew up on a farm. when a couple of wild dogs started killing sheep, we would hunt them down. If you found the first one you killed it.

what you didnt do was try to get the two dogs to fight each other, all the while watching your own sheep get killed.

Obama is weak. Hillary is vicious. we need her OUT.
