Talk about power hungry.

Connect the dots people… Crist is in line to be McCain's VP, he's leading the Fl MI recount/re-vote, Hillary will buy the nomination for 35 Mill, probably not a penny of it will be her own money, McCain/Crist will then beat Hillary in the National… Wow, this is even worst than the last election Florida messed up…

And the worst part is, Florida gets EXACTLY what they wanted by moving up their primary in the first place… to be the deciding vote.

Your system is messed. You get what you deserve… unfortunetly, the rest of us have to live, or die, because of your stupid childish irresponsible actions.

Shame on you.

I agree. I think Clinton would offer it to Obama. I don't think Obama would offer to Clinton. This is about the only way to heal the party now. I ask undecided voters to choose the person who is willing to hold out the olive branch if she wins.

Hillary 08

That would never happen. As long as both candidates are spending millions to get votes anyway. Why don't they just split the cost of the Florida, Michigan re-do so to speak. Maybe the Democratic party would kick in a third? You're buying the votes anyway.

Clinton/Obama '08!!
It's the best way to harness the incredible energy generated in this race, get us the more capable president now, give BO the training he needs, and give the Democrats the White House for the next 16 years!

A ticket with Clinton is not worth, because she was too nasty in this campaign. She is not the person I look forward to lead me.

If she steals the nomination she should ask Carl Rove to be her VP. It would be a perfect fit.

I think it is good idea for the democrat party to win in general election.

If a party can't even run a primary election properly, I don't know if they can run the country properly

The loser will clearly be Clinton, Politicians know the outcome so their just pressuring clinton to accept it, either way i don't see why Obama would pick her since she's full of negativity!

What the heck? How can you be a Clinton supporter and speak such blasphemy? Are you believing in the power of numbers too? Barack Obama should get a grin out of this one.s But if this a ploy to get PA voters to think a vote for Clinton will come with Obama as well, GOOD JOB!.

Why would Barack want someone who lies, lacks in character, and will do ANYTHING to gain power?

I would not mind Barack extending the VP position to HRC, but she has denegrated him so much in public that the world would see the ticket as a FARCE.

And what if Hillary steals away the Democratic nomination; and she selects another old flunky, like Biden or Nelson, for her Veep?

And what if McCain is clever enough to select Colin Powell as his running mate?

And what if a big chuck of Obama's supporters were so fed up with the Clintons and their crap, they stampede together to the McCain-Powell ticket in November?

If it comes to voting between two senators who voted for the war in Iraq, many of the military family (members, former members, and the dependents of members) are going to vote for the one whose children have completed military tours in the Middle East, not the one whose child takes campaign tours to places like Hawaii: That translates into McCain over Clinton.

The economic mess we are in is a result of their bad judgements on the war. Obama has sound judgement where Clinton's is like her marriage–one of convenience. The democrats better figure it out that Obama stands a much better chance of winning in the big show.

I don't think Obama should be Hillary's vice president…next thing years from now she will say it took a clinton (white woman) to make the dream /fairytale/whatever they want to call it come true.

Obama, if it does work out, just know that you tried your best and move on. Al gore is doing pretty well without being a president. I hope you win though…

This rumors benefit Clinton, who wants to suggest that voting for her would also benefit Obama. I fail to understand how Obama could accept such an offer without contradicting the essence of his campaign which is directed against 'old style' politics, and without compromising his future attempts to become President.

McCain will be the clear choice with Hilary Clinton on the ticket.

On either side of the Democratice ticket, Hilary Clinton will do for the Democratic Party what George W. Bush has done for the Republicans.

Unfortunately, Obama appears to be weak. Folding to Clinton's outrageous demand for Samantha Powers to resign! If he can't stand up for his people making the mildest of "PC" mistakes at the same time as Clinton core professionals attack him with links to Ken Starr, Farrakan, and other folks far afield from his clear core beliefs.

I am a strong Obama supporter. But, McCain with a democratic congress my be a better 4 year solution for the democrats should the Clinton machine twist arms with promises of favors or retribution. Let's face it, the Democratic party seems weak. Where is Obama's fortitude!

I will be shock if this happen

Might be the only way, but Hillary has to be the VP.

If a joint ticket were possible, I can't see Obama being on top of the ticket because people would go to Hillary instead of Obama. It's called cutting out the middleman. He looks to her for answers in the debates and that would carry over to the White House. He would have to find someone weaker then himself and I can't think of anyone. I wish we lived in a perfect world but we do not. This is going to be an election for the history books. Most young people have no idea what it was like to be a female in the sixties. Unless you were twice as intelligent and very beautiful, you did not stand a chance in the mens world. Affirmative action helped women and minorities. It was more helpful to male minorities than women. Young girls today can study to be engineers, doctors, lawers anything they want to be. In my day that was not the case. My forte was space and mechanics, guess what, that field was not open to women at all. So, if you want to know why we support Hillary, think about how much she has done to help women and minorities fulfill their dreams. It is easy to dismiss the people who paved the way for the youth of today. Easy to say, so what, that was yesterday

Obama's campaign brushes aside any speculation on the matter as "premature," and some backers of the Illinois senator have suggested the Clinton campaign raises the prospect so voters think a vote for her will come with Obama as well.

That's exactly what she's doing. As well as hedging her bets to try and force him into picking her as VP when he wins.

No way should he pick her as VP, she'll be constantly cutting him off at the knees as much as she can.

I think that ole Hillary is realizing how she is crushing the enthusiasm of so many young voters, and that what she is doing with her campaign is going to turn them off enormously. I say she should have thought about the consequences before she started her crusade to win at any cost.

Additionally, I don't think that Rendell, an ardent Hillary supporter, should be offering options at this time.

I don't think Obama would pick her. She practically endorsed John McCain the other day, she smeared him as a "muslim" even though he is a lifelong Christian. She's been too ugly.

I think Obama should choose Kathleen Sebelius, gov. of Kansas, as his VP. A woman on the ticket would be great, just not that nasty ruthless divisive Hillary.

Obama is having his staff to do his dirty work. It's ok, nobody cares, it is old politics. Obama people have so thin skin they need to come out and swinging with negative of their own instead of having his staff go after Hillary here and there. That's not going to work. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot, he is running himself as "holier than thou" candidate and little college students with naive perception of politics following like some kind of cult movement. Thank god, Clinton stop them. I thought this country has gone crazy.

I agree with Rush. Obama/Hillary is a nightmare ticket that will award the election to John McCain with no contest.

You see, Mr. Rendell, that after your slimy candidate Hillary has relentlessly trashed Obama for weeks now (throwing an unprecedented amount of slime at a same-party opponent), it would seem inconsistent for her to ask him to join her ticket. That's one of the consequences of the filthy campaign she's been running.

Also, unless she finds a way to steal the election, she will not have the option of selecting anybody…

Lets get real!!!!Are we going to allow Hillary Clinton to set the tone: freeze super delegates, create the fuss with Fl & MI, and now insist the firing of someone else's campaign staff?? "If you cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen and take Bill with you". I am sick and tired of dirty tricks by the Clintons. What face would we see in the White House..weeping, yelling shame on you, or nice nice like SNL? Please everyone wake up and see what is in front of you!!

No way! Obama will not be your VP. He is going to win the nomination and will not select you as his VP. The Obama aide that called Clinton a monster is right and you know you can't work with a monster. I know Obama camp apologized to be polite but she is king of monsters even Hillary knows that she is.

I find it rather upsetting that CNN still has not discussed on the air that Clinton made the comment to the Canadian goverment about her NAFTA position being political rheortic. When is the news going to discuss how she has been putting down Obama with her sly racial comments. Why isn't she firing the staffer who circulated the pictures of him with a Kenyan outfit insinuating that he was a Muslim? The news is not being hard on her as she claimed but easy. She is getting away with dirty politics, slander and untruths. Obama should refused to join the ticket with her until she provides him and the American people an apology for mistreating him, insulting people of color with her sly racial comments and lying to the American people about her record and the NAFTA situation.

If Obama wins and Hillary is not on the ticket. I will never never vote for him! He is a flip flopper. Now he is showing he is like all politicians.

Obama couldn't trust her that much. I wouldn't.

Crossover republicans will not vote for Obama if Clinton is on the ticket. But they will vote for Obama if someone like Edwards is on the ticket.

I dont think Obama should do this.

It is so amazing how much the Obama campaign points the finger. If they don't want to engage in a joint ticket than fine. But don't dismiss Clinton's actions as dubious. How stupid do they think we are? As if we don't know the difference between voting for a President and a Vice President. Obama should get his head out of his Behind and start SHOWING the public that he is truly for unity and doesn't just like to talk about it.

In chess, it's always the losing opponent that wants to offer a draw.

Sorry Billary, Obama isn't taking a draw. He's in this to win it, and he doesn't need Billary to do it. But the same can't be said in vice versa!!

Obama 08

How can Clinton & Obama be on the same ticket, when Clinton has all but destroyed him with her constant barrage of attacks?! Is Rendell blind?!

The Democrats have shot themselves in the foot, and nearly destroyed their chances of winning the White House!

If McCain is elected the Democrats can thank Hillary Clinton for endorsing McCain and attacking Obama.

This is ridiculous! And sad!

I think because people are separated by supporting either Obama or Clinton, this would be a way to bring both side together when campaigning against McCain.
I fear if this is not at least offered our party will remain divided and we cannot afford the Republicans another 4 years.

I'm in PA. I did not vote for Ed Rendell, especially after he endorsed and helped to elect John Street as Mayor in Phila. He is another political opportunist, just like Clinton. I'm not surprised he backs her.

I will oppose any ticket with Clinton on it, either as President or VP.

NO MORE CLINTON, NO MORE BUSHES.

And Rendell's time will be up soon, too.

NOOOOOOOOO. Does anyone really think that there could be a cooperative atmosphere with Hillary's jealousy of Obama? She wouldn't work with him and he wouldn't want to work with her after all the dirty tricks she has played, like costing him votes for NAFTA Gate when it is HER campaign that did it.

No way.

No.
I don't want Hillary anywhere near the White House. She's toxic.

I believe Obama supporters are a bit blind to this.

What I see as a Hillary supporter, is an attempt at a gradual run to a united party. By throwing this offer out, people are looking at both candidates in a new light. I for one am looking at Obama differently than I have. I'd always looked at him based on his supporters. His supporters are arrogant, and down right mean in some instances, therefore always came to the conclusion that Hillary was my gal.

Her mentioning a joint ticket gets me looking at his political side. Tho I cannot vote for him in a General Election over McCain, I could possibly vote for him with Hillary on the ticket.

Some people say that more Obama supporters would (not) vote for Hillary. This statistic is wrong. The actual statistics are reversed, and give a good reason. Clinton can still offer change, Obama cannot however offer experience, and that is what the vast majority of Clinton supporters want.

Hillary might make a good Vice President.

The Clinton's and their subordinates are selling the idea to have Obama as a vice president as a win-win situation. No way Jose!
The reason, we, the new voters, independents and old voters are engaged and voting for Obama is to look for a new way of doing politics.
Hillary does not represent a departure from old politics and negative campaigns. Actually they are making all the efforts to drag him into their muddy campaign. Having Obama as a vice president will destroy the hope for change that we have deposited on him and will move him to the dark side (Clintons politics). We are not voting for more of the same. We do not want Hillary as a vicepresident neither. We want real change. Obama with a new staff.

Ed Rendell is a rascist!
While the rest of the world is moving away from rascism and bigotry, Ed Rendell is still making disparaging and denigrating comments that put African Americans and minorities down.
I do beliEve he is in the right camp - the Billary Campaign; where you have people like Hillary, who is putting down Mississippi with her negative comments and gender smear campaign rhetorics as well as Bill Clinton, with his South Carolina sad rascist remarks!

I'm surprised that all of a sudden Rascist Ed Rendell is now asking for an African American to be in a ticket with Billary!

SHAME ON YOU Ed Rendell and the Billary Clinton's!

OBAMA is the uniter - VOTE OBAMA!!!

All of this back and forth stuff is getting out of hand… I read all the posts on here and people are fighting over words and gossip… this is getting out of control… this is exactly what the Republicans want to happen…

Obama's ad in Miss… that was a spin and taken out of context… if you read the story she was commenting on the fact that neither Iowa or Miss have never had a woman elected… She was shocked to hear that…

What is sad is if you watch CNN last night the Republican Analyst was cut off when he started to talk about how Obama was the easier candidate to beat… A democratic analyst questioned the math scenario because Clinton has won the states that by the electoral college gives her the nomination… all of them were cut off and it is sad that the real stories do not surface…

Both of them were telling CNN why the super delegates are not taking sides… this has caused a split in the democratic party… the super delegates are afraid of all of the threats of not voting… we are headed for a disaster!!! The republicans are fanning the flame.

A Obama Hillary ticket is a recipe for disaster. America desrves a government that works. Two candidates tangled involved that much bitterness and fierce fighting can't effectively work togather and run the government. My dream ticket is Obama Al-Gore!!!

Being a Clinton supporter, I can see why he would say this. Being an Obama supporter, I say- "when hell freezes over!"
What a nightmare. She is everything he is fighting against.

One minute you say that all Obama is, is a speech from 2002 but yet he's good enough to run on the ticket with you!! How can you even make such claims when YOURE LOOSING? It sounds to me that Hillary is trying to draw up a "treaty" before she gets blown away completely!! Did her wins in Ohio and Tx really make her think that she's the front runner now? She needs a few more wins before she can make such claims! I love Hillary to death but she is REALLY REALLY beginning to turn me off!!

Senator Obama doesn't want to go negative like the Clinton campaign is more than will to. But that does not mean the media should not report on happenings like Rezko, "I haven't been really proud", and the Canadian NAFTA ordeal that turned out to be falsely focused on Obama rather than Clinton costing Obama votes in Ohio, Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island. So where is the coverage of the Peter Paul election fraud case being successfully delayed until November after the elections will be over? This is a media responsibility to put it out there.
Look it up, PETERPAUL.COM. If the media won't report on it do your own research. This is just one of many cases the media should be reporting but chooses not to for whatever reasons. Clinton more than willing to throw the kitchen sink with the garbage disposal fully functioning. Obama does not want to bring up negative issues like this against Senator Clinton. Therefore, she has taken full advantage of it claiming to be the victim while attacking at the same time.

No way. Obama doesn't need her. McCain will offer Hillary his VP spot. She is campaigning for the Reps already.

what would be so bad with this combo either way!
something has to give in the nastiness surrounding both camps
they are both democrats and this is dragging on just getting worse every day…. pulling the party down

*together* they could both conquer MCBush in the fall
Isnt that the most important thing!
who needs 4 more years of Bushs policies!!

I'm glad the fact that Hillary is clearly making her case for VP is coming out. She is now continuing her campaign in order to boost her chances of becoming the VP to Obama! I think Obama should consider making that offer and have this whole thing come to an end!

It also looks like she's trying to eat into Obama's base by making it seem like a vote for her would eventually be a vote for him too! *shakes head* Solutions! yeah right!

I think is Senator Clinton wins Pennsylvania, the other big state, it should end there and forget the do over in Florida and Michigan and Senator Obama team up with her after that. You know if she wins Pennsylvania that she will win Floriday and Michigan again for sure, so why waste the money on doing it again.
Clinton/Obama ticket - yeah!!!! That would be a quick healing of the party!

To heck with Rendell. In an era of acute partisan politics, any ticket that features Hillary "the great divider" Clinton will not accomplish anything. If any, Obama/McCain migh have been more appropriate

Why would either candidate offer the other the VP job when they both have ill feelings toward each other. To me, that ticket would just mean "we" will do anything to win. I want the nominee to pick the best person that they feel is qualified to help them run this country. Not because 50% of the people like Hillary and 50% like Barack.

I will not vote this ticket if in fact this is the case. I will vote Mccain instead.

Potential Independent for Mccain.

The problem with a Hillary/Obama ticket is that a lot of woman republicans and democrats that would vote for Hillary will not vote for Obama. If Obama is on the ticket, they might go to McCain. We want to see a Hillary/Webb, Hillary/Biden or Hillary/Richardson ticket.

That would be a huge huge mistake. I wont vote if Hillary is on the ticket.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Barack don't go to the dark side.. you are too good to be her lap dog.. let the force guide you Barack! I will be forever sad if you "sell out" to that person.. please don't do it!!!

Obama should completely ignore this discussion and not even comment on it. HRC is desperate…she sees the writing on the wall. SHe is throwing this out in hopes that if he wins, and she is not offered it, he looks like the bad guy.

Give us a break! We can see right through this. Obama doesn't need her to win this.

I am simply a good American & neither Republican nor Democrat. My vote is still 'up in the air'. Great % of Obama's appeal is he represents change. Clinton is business as usual & this goes against the grain of attractiveness of Obama. Joint ticket would be great for Clinton but BAD for Obama.

Makes one wonder what position in the whitehouse she promised him?
President Obama would be a fool to have a running mate with such a dispicable person.

Obama would lose his support If he accept being her VP. This is about the Past Vs the Future. Barack do not give in you have got this won. Stay above the garbage. I would not vote for her even with you on the ticket.

Why would they discuss this when the Obama campaign is imploding?

Let the B (Obama) 'movement' get flushed down the 'toilet.'

Clinton for 4 years. Will not seek second term. Obama gets some experience and goes for 8 more years. Howard Dean's 50-state dream becomes reality.
Beyond McCain, I don't see any good Republican in the future. Not yet. But Obama can deal with it easily. He is still young.

You cant compare Ken Star to Monster…. Grow Up…. also im glad that Texas and Ohio people dumped the kool Aid out …smart move…

NO WAY should Barack offer the VP nod to Hillary Clinton if he wins the nomination. The Clintons are the biggest scam artists in Washington and Barack does not need to infect his campaign with the Clinton cancer. I'm from NY, and would love to see Mike Bloomberg on the ticket. His political views are on point and unbiased. He would undoubtedly make a great VP.

Obama/Billary ticket? Not till hell freezes over! As a VP, Billary will claim that she is running the country just like she did before - at least that's how she got her "experience".

Why isn't anyone asking Hillary about her comments practically endorsing John McCain. The DNC and news media should be questioning her loyality to the Democratic party. Why has the media not picked up on the Nafta-Canadian-Clinton connection that was misreported. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get on the issues or we are going to have another president that "you can have a beer with". That criteria got us in this mess to begin with.

This is the same guy that said in PA White people will not vote for a Black person. Please

Why would Obama need her while he is the leader who can win on his own. She will a baggage he will be carrying in his terune otherwise. She couldn't be believed either.

I'd probably vote republican if Hillary was even the VP candidate. Just too much of a possibility of her ending up in the white house. Not worth the risk.

I will vote only if Sen. Clinton comes out with an apology for the negative campaign and lies

Clinton needs Obama….

Obama does not need Clinton…..

Who is the better canidate?

Bad idea, some people just don't forget that easily, less that a week she has endorsed McCain publicly on the record, she just came back on earth and realizes she has no chance now they are pushing for a joint ticket lol

if barack does in fact win the GE on a joint ticket, this election has shown that hillary would at least consider drugging him so that she could rise to the presidency.

Picking a VP is supposed to be about picking someone that is ready to lead if something should happen to the President. If Hillary is suggesting that she would pick Obama to be her VP then she is saying that he is ready to lead! Obama should run with this.

And this request is coming from a known racist, Hillary's biggest supporter. Amazing, I guess they think the American people will bow down and give HIllary the ticket for the sake of ending this campaign war….will Hillary, we're just getting warmed up!

No Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket. That will be such a betrayal of both campaigns because the two campaigns are polar opposites on principle.

Hillary may extend the offer to Obama but there is no way Obama would choose Hillary as his running mate. She is too far from his core message. I think if Obama wins, then Biden or Richardson would be the front-runner as a running mate.

I think if the DNC does the math not just on delegates, they would see that Obama brings much more to the table. He is able to raise significantly more money than Clinton and bring more people to the fold to a dying party. He is able to make inroads in states where there were none and make this a 50 state election rather than a short sided 'big' state election. This is the longer term vision, not a short stint on Pennsylvania Aven.

Rendell sounds stupid because the fact still remains, Hillary needs Obama but Obama doesn't need Hillary. Obama voters have proven, we will not support Hillary. So don't even try it.

people,people,people, let it go to the convention, it allows everyone
to vent their frustration at the direction the republican have taken this country.
then when the woman wins, we'll have a better country within her first
tour of duty.
mr. obama, wheres the beef.
to all you obamanites, youth has its advantages, it allows you the time to lick your wounds and come to your sense's.

As long as Billary would not be on the top i'd still vote for the combined ticket. if she is on top, i would not. There is no way i could vote for more of the same from the Clintons. how many more 'gates' can we endure. how many more times do we have to see her 'forgiving her straying husband?' i say enough of them. please…anybody but Clinton

Why would Obama want to take on all of the Clinton baggage? He's too smart to offer her a VP position.

Hillary is like a CRYING BABY She knows how to manipulate her parents. If she cannot win it in her own, then I want to IMPOSE IT on OBAMA to make me the OFFER.

DISCENT PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT. Discent people are offered the job, they don't try to HIJACK the posisiton.

HILLARY YOU HAVE A NERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PENSILVANIA WILL NEVER VOTE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I will vote for Obama,

BUT NEVER HILIARY & OBAMA….

This idea is ridiculous. After all of the humiliation and disgracing of his candidacy by Hiliary, I wouldn't give her a second thought.

Having a Clinton/Obama ticket would not be a wise decision. It would be dramamatic during the whole administration, and nothing for the people would get accomplished. Obama would have to clean up behind her and her husbands mess. Remember the past Clinton administration. There is nothing new under the sun with them.

Obama/should team up with a candidate that is for the people. Suggestions, Edwards, Caroline Kennedy, etc, You get my point.

Someone with integrity.

Not a Negative candidate who thinks of herself only. She learned her behaivor from her husband.

We're not blind. We all can see it. It's not rocket science!

This is a joke, isn't it?
Exercise the nuclear option in the Democratic Party and you are rewarded with the Vice Presidency?
I suspect Obama might feel as strongly about Clinton as his Veep as Jack and Bobbie Kennedy did about LBJ.
He needs a substantive foreign policy/military/security expert for VP not a divisive former First Lady.

Are these people smoking crack?

Anything to get another wiff of the White House, huh Hillary.

I for one can say that PA is looking very promising for Hillary !!!

We here in Pa are focusing on REAL issues facing our nation. Food on the table, health care card in the wallet, and a job to go to when we wake up every morning!

Hillary is our BEST solution for the real issues facing our nation

GO HILLARY…. Obama Camp…. meet us in PA !!

If you Obama supporters think he can win the election without the Clinton supporters votes think again. If you want another 4-8 years of MCBush just keep her off the ticket if she wants the spot. The entire democratic party better get behind a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket if we want to win back the White House. We are going to have to join forces and say YES THEY WILL!!!!

Charlotte - Actually you're DEAD WRONG. Studies have shown that the biggest beneficiaries of Affirmative Action were/are white women.

Hillary's supporters are pushing for a joint ticket because if she wins the nomination from Obama, she is going to need him to win the general election. Basically she needs him and he doesn't need her. So, don't offer her the VP obama

No way, imagine Bill in the middle. Obama is not an idiot like Hillary.

THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!

People, please don't be fooled like the people in Ohio by what Clinton says. She lyed about the whole "NAFTA-GATE" issue so she could win… now shes lying about a "DREAM TICKET" to win in PA.

PLEASE PLEASE PEOPLE… WAKE UP!!!

I wouldn't share a ticket with this woman if she were the last candidate on earth. I would want a person of integrity, decency, honesty, equanimity and character. She fails miserably on all of them … and more.

So if Clinton would offer it to Obama, then she is being untruthful when she says that Obama is not ready to be President. The Vice-President must be ready to be President. Obama is ready to be President, but Clinton is trying to say he isn't. So this is another example of her double-speak. She will say anything to win.

Clinton can do better than Obama. Anyway I don"t believe his ego would let him. Obama would never ask Clinton. Obama having a vice-president thats stronger, more experienced and of substance who make him look inadequate as President..

There's already a VP for Sen Clinton: Bill Clinton.

So where would Obama fit in? Would he just be used to attract the voters at election time and then pushed aside? I don't see Obama doing such a thing. I don't see voters approving such a thing either.

Obama-Clinton '08 Bill gets to be "second" man. Magnificent!

The only way to heal the party is to put them both on the same ticket. Both sides have attacked the other side but that is what happens in a close competition. They are both going to be great leaders and we will need both of them to clean up after Bush. Let's stop attacking each other and make this happen !!! We dont want to see McCain win bc the party is developing harsh feelings toward the democratic candidates that is not the first choice. We can do it TOGETHER !!!

Never Hillary as VP.

She would do an LBJ on him, remember Dallas!!

You never want someone with that much to gain behind your back, EVER…

Tel

If Hillary wins, I don't think she will offer VP because Obama is old washington political player, with full of rhetoric. If Obama wins, Hillary should not take VP, because if Hillary clear out mess as VP Obama would hope came true and take the credit. I don't think this joint ticket is good for democracy, Hillary supporters would be disappointed if Obama wins & vote for Mccain which will make this mess greater mess

A little collegial arm twisting to get Obama to concede and join forces no doubt.

How can two people like these who have emmensely prospered from the opportunities and financial rewards of a free and capitalistic nation–desire to create a new order with government controlling all aspects of society and depriving those same opportunities to millions of other Americans.

Beats me.

You all must understand one thing, Obama DOES NOT need Clinton to win the Presidency. He needs Webb (for Nat'l Security reasons), Richardson (Latinos), Edwards (for blue collar workers), or Gore (just because he's Al Gore).
On the other hand, Clinton has ZERO chance of winning the Presidency without Obama, that is why she's bringing this up. She should be begging Obama to get on his ticket as the VP instead of implicating that Obama will be her VP. 'Silly season' in politics.

Ohhh boy, I haven't seen so much hate since some of the southern states declared secession from the Union………ohhh yeah, we're going old school……

Clinton all but admits defeat!

But she wants power!

So as loser she wants Obama as her VP, to be treated the same way as Al Gore was treated by her husband!

Forget it!

Clinton you've lost, America has won.

Bye bye Clintons'.

Helllooooo! Clinton represents EXACTLY what Obama's campaigning against! She accepts lobbyist money, she's been accused of some "not so clean" dealings and she's tried to run him down her garbage disposal with throwing her kitchen sink and dirty dishwater at him….and this guy thinks Obama wants her for VP? He must be of small IQ.

James….excellent point! Kathleen Sebelius is a great person as VEEP…not mention Edwards….actually, true independents and maybe even an honest republican like Colin Powell would really show Obama is looking for talented people no matter the "party." It's all about the country folks….not a fantasy football game. We must support people that want to work for the good of the USA and the world, not the good of themselves (Hillary), special interests, and even the party.

Rendell's racial comments last month suck in a major way. He was a good mayor, but now everyone can see he's a bigot if there ever was one. And so is Hillary.

Don't let the Clintons push the whole country to the back of the bus, just like the Bushes did. A plague on both their houses.

Vote for Obama.

Well, well well, look what the Clinton campaign's cooked up this time.

I thought it was McCain/Clinton 08?? At least that's what it seems like these days.

Obama has no reason to ask Clinton to be a part of his ticket. Clinton on the other hand, she needs Obama's support because she needs the support of the people.

Aren't we all tired of this dirty politics….we're smarter than this cheap rhetoric and win at all costs campaigning. We see what you're trying to do Hillary…and it isn't working!

OBAMA 08!

Hillary has endorsed McCain, she might just be his VP. The joint ticket will never happen, that is why it is a DREAM ticket. It is a ticket for DREAMLAND. Obama will win the nomination and will pick someone else.

If Obama wins the nomination, Hillary can forget about the VP offer. If the Clintons steal the nomination, She will offer the VP to him but he should turn it down. If he loses, he should run for the Governor of Illinois. The man is a leader he does not need to be a number 2 to anyone. The VP spot is severely overrated. The VP rarely becomes president later. Also, Obama would be dragged down by all the scandals of the Clintons if he pursued the presidency later. Why would he take on the baggage of the Clintons. Hillary is trying to drive a wedge thinking that if she floats this idea Obama supporters will support her. If Obama is not at the top of the ticket, I don't even vote. America needs Obama as president now not eight years later.

BTW…Rendell is exacrly what he looks like in that pic…a tool

Obama should offer her the position of Driver.

As president, Bill Clinton pardoned Viktor Bout's partner Marc Rich before he left the office.

Will Hillary Clinton "reject" any pardon request for the merchant of death Viktor Bout if she becomes president?

She's just saying that to get votes!!!! she smears him to the point where it will be impossible for him to join!!!!

When Hillary’s improprieties come out good old Obama and his integrity will soften the blow she has things to hide it is only a matter of time before its found Obama has to much integrity to run his campaign to destroy he could he wont and good for him Obama In Hillary out or McCain gets my vote

If it comes down to a joint ticket , "Clinton" must be President not Vice President.
I would consider voting for a "Clinton" / "Obama" ticket (notice i said consider) but not likely.
But i will NOT vote for a "Obama"/ "Clinton" ticket.

She has gone nuclear even to the point of making a commercial endorsing McCain over Obama and, inadvertantly, over herself as well as G.H.W. Bush over Bill!

She has no scruples, integrity or honor.

While she continues to play FEAR and SMEAR, she will play the victim and magnaminous politico all the while she and her surrogates viciously attack anyone in their way.

Heed Bill Clinton's sage advice:

"If one candidate’s trying to scare you and the other one’s trying to get you to think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears and the other one’s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."

I see no possibility of a joint ticket. HRC-supporters, consider this: Do you really think, that a lot afro-americans would vote for Clinton in November, if she beats Obama in a unfair way (by superdelegates, re-vote, negative-ads …). I don´t think Hillary Clinton will become president. Maybe Obama can do it, but he seems to be more and more damaged. Thanks Hillary …

Go Barry!

OBAMA/RICHARDSON 08´!

Rendell is a Clinton puppet. The Clintons have helped Rendell raise millions of dollars of money over the past decade, so I can understand his dedication to them.

For Rendell to be talking about a VP ticket, when everyone else is saying there are still 12 Democratic contests left and Obama is currently leading in total delegates, pledged delegates and popular vote, is simply a faust to lull Obama supporter's to sleep.

Why doesn't Rendell ask Obama to give Hillary the VP slot once she drops out?

Hillary Clinton is a mad cow disease. She must leave the race, otherwise she will infect all democrats.

The only way that I want Hillary to go back to the White House is as a tourist! NO JOINT TICKET!

I'd like to see an Obama/Richardson ticket. That would give it regional balance and Richardson would add his executive and foreign policy experience. I was disappointed Richardson didn't come out and endorse Obama prior to Texas, it might have made a difference. And I think Obama should bring Richardson on board now to add new energy to the campaign, and not wait until the convention.

Obama/Clinton………No Way………..Hillary is to negative…..Where is the outrage from Obama that the press is engaging in a double standard relating to his possible role in the Rezko trial and his refunding the $85,000 contributed to his campaign by Rezko- which Obama has always admitted taking. The media makes no mention of Hillary’s role as a witness in Bill’s fraud trial for defrauding Hillary’s largest donor- and Hillary’s refusal to refund the $1.2 million she illegally received from Paul, which she has denied taking from Paul ever since the Washington Post asked her about Paul and his felony convictions from the 1970’s before her first Senate election in 2000?

I believe a Clinton/Obama ticket could be unifying ticket as well as give Obama some experience he desperately needs. I think he could be a great President 8 years from now, but for right now we need someone who knows what she's doing to clean up after the Bush mess and get our allies in the world back.

HELL NO!!!

BILLARY HAS NO CHANCE OF WINNING THE MOST PLEDGED DELEGATES, AND SHE NEEEDS TO DROP OUT, NOW!!!!

All she will do on the ticket is what McSame can't do, and that is unite the Republicans.

Pls. Hillary for the sake of the country and our party drop out, now!

Obama has nothing to gain by being her VP …. a Billary administration has no VP. Strickland would be good for that 'position'.

If the superDs take the nomination from Obama, then so what ? Let the Democrats run into their defeat, but for Obama and his movement the fight would go on. It would just take another four years, and then I'd hope that he would run as an Independent, maybe with Bloomberg.

McCain or McClinton, both will blow the next four years and the American People would be REALLY MAD.

Isn't this the same guy who said some people in his state aren't ready for a black president? Beat it, Lurch!

Clinton supporters:

Because you support Hillary Clinton, you care about experience. Her campaign has told you that experience matters, and, because you want her to win, you have latched onto that as the criteria for selecting a president. So, please don't let that become your basis for selecting a president in the event she doesn't get the nomination. If you do, you will be ignoring the fact that Senator Obama shares many of the same policy positions.

Hillary you will need to DENOUNCE and RENOUNCE Ed Randell’s RACIST REMARKS.

Absolutely not! Since Hillary believes she's back in the game with her apparent "fairytale" wins this past Tuesday–let's go all the way! Let the people decide. If Obama wins, the democrats have my vote this time–if she's anywhere near the ticket: McCain, here I come!

At the rate this is going, it looks like the Republicans will have another 8 years!

For Obama to ask Clinton to be his VP would be the ultimate in "New School" politics. I don't see how he could do it after how she has run her campaign. For Clinton to ask Obama to be her VP would be the ultimate in "Old School" politics. It is the icing on the mud pie. I don't see how he could accept. This just won't happen!

If you want Hillary, you better vote for her because Obama is too pompous to offer it to her if he wins. He will offer it to another black. And then we will have a divisive campaign. He has already divided the country along racial lines. And look at the people he has in his campaign. Samantha Powers the "monster" comment! Do you really want these kinds of advisors running the country?

Hillary should win the nomination - she has won the big states and will win Florida, PA, and Michigan. GO Hillary! She will probably offer it to him???

Hillary you will need to DENOUNCE and REJECT Ed Randell’s RACIST REMARKS.

New whine in old bottles. The DNC should not let this happen. Obama and Hillary have learned to despise each other and would make an awful presidential team. Obama doesn't need Hillary's baggage and she doesn't want anyone to steal her thunder. This proposal sounds nice when spoken on the stump but is utterly stupid.

Just love this combo. Mr. No experience coupled with the meanest woman in politics. That's how the Democrats take the presidency.

McCain and whomever for President.

Obama would be the best president America has ever had. A pure Democrat,

Rendell why don't you keep your Hillary mouth shut. If they go back on the rules for Florida and Michigan and Hillary wins I sincerely hope that all the Obama supporters vote for McCain, I KNOW I WILL. Let's just change the rules for Hillary. If Obama won Florida and Michigan Hillary would have kept her ego mouth shut.

Ed Rendell is an idiot! He's my governor and I say that!

OBAMA IS DESPERATE. HE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT BY ALL MEANS AND I AM SURE HE DOESN'T WANT TO CLINTON TO BE INVOLVED.

I WANT CLINTON TO BE PRESIDENT

GO HILLARY!

If counts the millions votes in Florida and Michegan, Senator Clinton already won. Howard Dean made stupid rule that caused the big problem ever for the party.

I think that it is funny, how if obama wins the nomination, democrats will vote for mccain and if hillary wins they will vote for mccain. Grow up people and vote for whichever democrat is on the ticket. It isn't fair to punish the nation by having mccain win because you voted for him instead of being loyal to a democrat. GROW UP AND VOTE FOR WHOEVER WINS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

Clinton/Obama 08! …would be unstoppable!

And although some folks would like to think that Obama's above excepting a VP under Clinton… I think we'll find he's a little more shrewd than folks give him credit for. The opportunity for 2016 as a VP would be just too tempting.

People whom crave power, don't suddenly stop craving it!

Senator Obama will need to make a choice on who will be a good fit for president after his 8 years. It still will not be Hillary. But maybe… Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Obama’s biggest criticism is his lack of experience. I know change is the cornerstone of his candidacy, but he were to apply reason to the notion of change he would realize that as the VP candidate we would almost certainly have 16 years of a Democrat in the White House. I think if he were to accept the VP ticket he would demonstrate that his message is really about the people rather than personal ambition.

As much as it sounds like a dream ticket, regardless of who is on top, it would be a disaster. Lets be real. Do you not see a significant dempgraphic left out of that ticket, and it is also a demographic that historically can be counted on to turn out and vote. We may all agree that it should not be that way, but the reality "is what it is". What state would either candidate bring the other?

I am surprised that Joe Biden isn't in more of the VP speculation. Especially for Obama. He has the foreign policy experience, and all the years in the senate that Obama doesn;t (since 73), but either he isn;t interested or I am missing something.

AB,

Do you honestly think Hillary is making her case for VEEP! PLEASE!!! She wants Obama to be VEEP!

I know I know….crazy aint it!

I see the possible joint ticket as way to unite the party and to give a better chance of winning back the Presidency. I can understand people have personal preferences and emotional issues for both candidates, isn't it time to set aside our personal preferences and think about good of the country?

He may want to consider being Barack Obama's running mate because Hillary is starting to become more like Bill–everytime she opens her mouth, something stupid comes out!!! Obama will definitely become the next President of the United States of America, as well he should! I will cast my vote for him as a registered voter in the State of Mississippi on March 11th, as will my daughter and son-in-law!

Hey Zena, Hillary has not denegrated Obama, the media has. One of Obama's people just called Hillary a "Monster" and had to appologize and step down - are we blaming Obama? No so don't blame Hillary. She never "personally" attacked Obama. She has every right to question his credibility and experience (as does he) so please!! She has been a "Lady" and a "great sport" through all of her beatings. this lady has been "knocked down", beat up", "kicked in the stomach", "spit on", "spit out", and still got up and dusted herself off. That's a president - that's a female president - that's a champ! My Hillary

She has done NOTHING but belittle Obama, monk him and endorse McCain…she needs to be on McCains ticket. If she is on the ticket, I will not vote him. I love his political stance on things, the way he has actually helped people organize for more than a day visit, the way his campaign has been organized but if Hillary is on the ticket I will not vote for that negative woman.

A Clinton/Obama ticket would mean that Hillary probably wouldn't have any competition in 2012. Meanwhile, look up Paul vs Clinton, a huge campaign finance fraud case, due to open in the court in November, shortly after the general election. Why is the media so silent on this one?
No wonder the Republicans think they can beat Hillary.

Getting Real

we are experiencing the 8 years of this experience in the democratic republic of congo: 5.4 millions dead women,children and men.
Raped women,traumatized generation.., can we call it also a genocide??

Funds money flewn in and out of a company in Arkansas which was directly connected to hillary clinton and her husband bill!!
There are a lots of people who also can define their expericences of 8 plus 27 years of Sen.Hillary Clinton, but she will probably say she did it because the phone rang at 3pm and bill was sleeping!!!!!!

Clinton/Obama '08!!
BO needs more training. This will give the Democrats the White House for the next 16 years.

No WAY! Clinton should run with McCain

I can't believe people think this is possible. Obama has a long career ahead of him and he would be throwing it away by attaching himself to her in any way. It sure helped Al Gore, didn't it?

If Clinton is anywhere on the ticket, Dems lose in November. If I could buy stock in it, I would.

Hilary is a monster she will pull out all stop to get what she want, Shows her action if she gets into office, she says and does what she want to you, but don't bounce thats a problem forher. She has double standards.

It would be nice to have a unified ticket, but there's so much hate and negativity by the supporters of both sides, that I don't see it happening. I, for one, cannot forgive the racism I've noticed from the Clinton supporters.

I will not vote for ticket with Clinton on it.

What a laugh.. Clinton has said EVEN MCCain't is more prepared than Obama. Clinton is a mean spirited woman. I love her foreign experience. Wonder how many tea parties and women's events she attended. Certainly she DID not make policy.

This OBAMA/CLINTON chat is ridiculous!
Hillary is the most qualified, most reality vs. obamalism unreal, and I CAN NOT BELIEVE he has even 1 supporter.

IF you remember the earlier debates when SHE LEAD, she was attacked in every one of them. WHY is this so NEW to anyone???

REMEMBER when BUSH promised to bring everyone together in WASHINGTON??? HE NOR ANYONE will ever do that! SO WHO CARES about Obama's speeches, his empty promises, and his UN-EARNED right to run. No one would even be looking at him if they were not mad or angry with Hillary.

GET OVER IT, and GET to the HILLtop with what's best for AMERICA and our children!!!!

HILLARY IS THERE and i'm ready to vote for her in April.

Of course Clinton and her surrogates want to throw the idea of a joint ticket out there-

CLINTON IS LOSING!

CLINTON IS LOSING!

CLINTON IS LOSING!

When she had a chance to win, before she ignored the insignificant states, she would think nothing of the matter.

IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE! STAY POSITIVE! STAY ON TOP!

If she pulls this out by winning Florida and/or Michigan all the Obama people better get on board or else it's 4 more years of Duh-bya and his policies courtesy of JSM (Sidney) and whomever he picks as the VP.

If Obama gets the nod, he'd better wise up and get with the program. He's gonna get torched by Rove, Limbaugh, and every other GOP hack there is and we STILL get McCain

So far it seems like HRC would be at least open to the possibility of a joint ticket while the Obama "army" seems completely closed to the idea

For all those who are clamoring about the Obama staffer, I think calling her a "monster" is a bit different than comparing tactics to Starr's. I don't particularly like HRC but all this diatribe about waiting for her to fire Wolfson is a waste of time

You're number one, Hillary…

Obama/Pelosi 08

Obama/Jim Webb!! Virginia democrat and former marine. This is the ticket to the white house my friends.

Remember his democratic response? Impressive.

A JOINT TICKET PROBABLY WOULD GET LESS VOTES, AS AFTER SUCH A DIVISIVE AND NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN IT WOULD BE QUALIFIED AS A COMPLETE HYPOCRESY.

AND OBAMA PROBABLY WILL NOT ACCEPT THE VP POSITION, AS A TICKET WITH HILLARY ON TOP WOULD BE PERCEIVED AS A LOSER

TOM

NO JOINT TICKET!!!!

1) Hillary can't win a general election.

2) Barack doesn't need Bill running around behind his wife telling her what to do.

There's no way these two candidates will run together.

The Clinton lobbyists would force her to take someone they can control. It's just like the Clinton's on NAFTA and Iraq. Say one thing. If she's elected, she'll make sure to take someone else.

In February, Rendell made racist comments that front page news. Now, he's saying they should run together. Give me a break. Rendell was the DNC leader in 2000 election and he immediately told Gore to give up despite major problems in Florida. If Rendell did his job in 2000, we might not be in the same Florida voting mess in 2008.

Florida democrats are important. Why did Rendell not do his job then? Why did the president, Bill Clinton make sure America would never have a voting problem like again.

You Obama people. Hillary doesn't need Obama to do anything. I like the comment about the young people buying into the cult-like ability of Obama. That just about sums it up.

Ummmm….no. I'm a Clinton supporter and if Obama is on her ticket I'll vote for McCain. I think Obama is a terrible leader with a campaign based on lies. I also think he has a hidden agenda. I wont' vote for him on any ticket, and that includes Hillary's.

As for Hillary going on Obama's ticket, she has better things to do. Unlike him, she enjoys being a Senator.

It is clear that either Obama or Clinton have secured a spot on the ticket. To those that think it would never happen, remeber that we used to make the loser of the general election the vice president–in this case, a Republican. We could use both of them in the White House.. and it would be nice to have the White House on the correct side of things for the next 16 years. They both have history to make.

Negative campaigns are very effective. Hillary's gutter politics these past few weeks have been so effective that I am now convinced she cares more about being President, than about our NATION. If she is awarded the nomination without winning the majority of the delegates, I will leave the Democratic Party and will NOT SUPPORT a ticket that does not include Senator Obama.

Hillary will lose him the independent votes as V.P. Why choose a V.P. that decreases your chances of winning?

Also, even though her policies are the same, her character goes against what the Obama supporters are looking for: transparency, honesty, and accountability.

Keep her AWAY from his ticket!

The same darn guy that said America is not ready for a Black president. What a moron

Lyndon Johnson eventually accepted being VP to JFK after he couldn't overtake his delegate lead in 1960.

I wonder if Hillary will be willing to accept the silver medal? I doubt it but she's so desperate for power, she might.

Sen. Obama will lose in his bid for the presidency with Hillary on the ticket, the citizens of this country will not allow Bill and Hillary back in the white house under any circumstances, Mr. Rendell suggestion shows the magnitude of the problem the Democratic party insiders have with a new guy like Barack unexpectedly popping up on the scene.
The voting public is not dazed by Gov. Rendell and others who make such an argument, my view is the Democratic will lose to a very weak Republican candidate with Hillary anywhere near the ticket.

if hillary is on the ticket at all, I think that a lot of people will cross back over to the republicans, making it a much more even race…

most of the high turnout I think is caused by Obama, who, at least in my mind, is seen as almost a third party candidate, and therefore the numbers showing how democrats are turningout to vote 3:2 versus republicans is partially cause by this fact…

Obama is the average between McCain and HRC…

good idea.
The one with most delegates gets to pick who they want for VP

Obama/Clinton would mean two Vice Presidents and
Clinton/Obama would mean that Obama would be the Second V.P.
We need a clean break or stick to the same-old, same-old.

All of a sudden the Obama camp is having to retract just about everything they say; and the explanation always is that the comments were not approved by Obama. I seem to recall a lot of posts on CNN from Obama supporters earlier in the campaign to the effect of "if Clinton can't control her advisers, how can she be President?" Maybe now the Obama camp and supporters will retract those comments too?

And when Clinton fired heer advisor for a similar idiotic gaffe, the Obama supporters were crying that it was all a scam, and that she had to have known about it and planned it. So the same must be true for Obama, right?

I knew Obama was green and unvetted,a long with some of his camp and supporters. I did not know they were hypocrites until now.

Clinton would offer VP to Obama since she knows he would never agree to play third-wheel to her and Bill.
Obama should not offer VP to Hillary since she's power-hungry enough to take it and then stab him in the back to take over! He might do it just for the sake of party unity, but it would be a big big mistake.

Billary will steal the election for sure!. Period

No. Clinton needs to crawl back into the ditch from which she came. An Obama/Clinton ticket will not get any vote from me. A Clinton/Obama ticket nets McCain my vote. That woman has no purpose in modern politics. Let her flail around under she loses Wyoming and Mississippi then knock her out of the race entirely.

No matter what the reasoning is behind the suggestion of a dream ticket, the truth is, Clinton and Obama together would be a force to beat.
