if the 2 end up together it should beby popular vote who s on the top of the ticket

the Clintons are so smart, got to give them that. She does have more of the democratic base behind her…She needs what he has and he needs whats she has, I hope these two can get past thier egos and go for this for the best of our party. Clinton should be on top because of experience…

I don^t think that Obama is ready for the vice president post
either….
I think that Hillary should select Edwards as her running mate….

Obama- Clinton would be much better, but he wouldn't have her on the ticket.

As much as we get angry and opinionated with one or the other
I agree with Pres Bill Clinton
they would be *unstoppable* together and America needs to stop
McBush so you can out of this costly dragged out Iraq war that keeps dragging down the economy!
Its basically burning out the troops and getting no where fast!

obama should take that deal. I do not like it it should be edward and Hillary on top of that ticket. Obama will never have my vote.

ya, if barack is on the top of the ticket, i would agree.

President Clinton is right. A Clinton-Obama ticket would be unstoppable. Hey, go for it people! If Obama can handle the Veep job then he'd be a shoe in for President & be on the political scene for 16 straight years. Something he should seriously consider.
Your two reporters doing the Saturday coverage today are doing a great job. Jessica brings intelligence & non-partisanship to her broadcasts. CNN needs more like her. You really should, however, consider getting rid of that analyst Gloria Borger who is shallow & petty.

Of course, he's ignoring one huge factor. Many of those upscale Obama supporters, such as myself, will never support a ticket that includes Hillary Clinton.

How convenient that he suggests a Clinton-Obama ticket despite the fact she is behind no matter which way you slice it.

Typical Clinton spin, really.

Looks like the old Clinton "good cop-bad cop" routine. Bludgeon your opponent daily, question his morals, judgement, honesty, and experience, then…….offer him a job that is one heartbeat away from the presidency. This is just one more example of the boundless cynicism of the Clintons.

Not in my lifetime, I will not vote for HRC, only Obama. And not for Obama if he is on any ticket with her, even if he is first.

They would certainly balance each other's strengths and weaknesses.

She has more international diplomatic savvy than he does, and seems more willing to think outside the box.

Depends of who McCain picks as VP, tho I can't imagine a VP candidiate which would be as marketable with him as Obama would be with Clinton.

Bush has made such a mess of so many things that McCain may have to distance himself from Bush as the months go on. May be part of the reason why McCain got the Bush endorsement and photo-op out of the way early.

Keep dreaming Bill !!

I don't think Obama would go for this even though he claims to want to unite the country. He is in this to win period..

Bill, would Hillary be suitable for vice president after the type of attacks she is making now? What if she still thinks she is in the solutions business and Obama is just talking? And didn't she say that McCain would beat them?

Go BARACK!!!

Yes We Can!!!

Send cry baby Hillary home

Voter's don't let Hillary or Bill fool you!

Hillary has become a MASTER manipulater.
She manipulater her supporters into thinking she didn't have any money left by giving herself $5million dollars and you fell for it.
She cried in NH, you fell for it. She cried because she spent 25million in Iowa and lost!
Now she and Bill are tossing out to voters the dream ticket in hopes of you beliving you will get both if you vote for her. Please don't be fooled! Based on Hillary's monsterous campaine tactics it would be a nightmare. Hillary tried to cut Obama down but forgot to lift herself up! Let's move toward change of old tactics, old faces and old gridlock in Washington.

I cannot understand why anyone would want to be Hiilary's Veep choice. The job would be bad enough on its own terms, but then throw in the fact that you'd have to compete with Bill Clinton all time….no thanks. And I don't see Obama picking Hillary as a running mate. A better choice might be someone like Rep. Jane Harmon who has a lot of intelligence expertise and would pick up the female vote.

Unstoppable, maybe, if it's a Clinton / Obama ticket. However, I'd live in fear if Obama makes the Presidency OR if Hillary makes the Presidency and god-forbid - something would happen to her and Obama took over. I have said it before and have heard many, many people say - If Obama becomes our President, another 9/11 is a sure bet. Anyone who REALLY cares about this country - from improving the economy to the safety of our country - would not want Obama running our country. This man is full of false promises!

So we would have two liberals who would treat symptoms of problems (social security, out of control health care cost, etc) by taxing & spending . Sounds like Kerry-Edwards. Dream ticket, yeah right. Rock star and celebrity are more like it

Republican candidate isn't much better.

If it is Hillary-Obama you can forget it. She is a liar like her husband.

NO NO NO NO. You and your wife should pack your bags and go home. All those lying and framing of Obama this past week with Nafta disgusted many people. How can you do something like this to your own party member.

Hillary, you are nothing but a TRAITOR.

Only if it is an Obama/Clinton ticket with Hillary as VP. Obama would be crazy to team up with Hillary as her VP when he has earned the most delegates and the right to the nomination. Reversing the roles and giving the nomination to Hillary would split the party, alienate the new voters that Obama has energized and gotten excited about being involved in the political process, and ensure a Republican victory in the fall. If the Democratic superdelegates give this nomination away to Hillary, Obama would be better off staying in the Senate where he can do some real good. He could never accomplish anything as Hiullary's VP. She would take credit for anything he accomplished just like she is taking credit for Bill's accomplishments.

I think the Clintons are driving the DNC train straight over the cliff. They don't care about the DNC, or the American people for that matter.

Obama 08

Many of us Independents will not vote for a Clinton ticket even with Obama on it. Losing even a portion of the Independent vote would be trouble for the Democratic party, particularly in states where Independents make up 30%+ of the voting population (and statistically we vote more frequently and more regular than our Democrat or Republican counterparts).

Mr. Obama can do better than HRC.

Why would Sen Obama tarnish his political career by being a VP in the Hillary CLINTON ADMINISTRATION with all its baggage. For the good of the Democratic Party ?
….Uh, no, I didn't think so.

Finish your term and the run for Governor of Illinois. Someone needs to clean house at the Illinois State House.
Gov Obama..sounds good to me. Governors are more electable.You will have none of those controversial Iraq war funding votes to haunt you.

Bill is really reaching now!
Why is it that everytime Bill tries to help his wife, we find something of the beginnings to an end with his attitude toward her campaign?

Join the Movement.
Obama '08

As much as I'm a huge fan of President Clinton, I think he's just trying to avoid heat. He doesn't wanna say that a Clinton-Obama ticket is TOO MUCH change for traditional people. They are both novelties who think that 08 would be enough for one of them to "make history" due to the unpopularity of Bush. If Bill said this, the media lynch mob would come after him with all their spins and stakes.

This is their new tactics of presenting Obama as only good for second place and her as the best andidate to be at the top of the ticket.
I just wonder ;of all the 320 million Americans, how many are still blinded by their tricks and lies. Seriously!

Obama would bring a lot to the table (like the whole dinner, a few bottles of wine, and dessert) for Clinton, but what would she do for him? There are a legion of Democrats with more experience and less baggage than Clinton. Any of them would do a much better job of enhancing an Obama candidacy.

Only if Obama is the Presidential candidate.

Yes, there is a reason why the more sophisticated Democrats vote for Obama as Bill Clinton says….

Do your research people…..

I don't see it happening especially after Hillary has pretty much said that she and McCain" would bring years of experience to the White House but all Barack would bring is a speech. What kind of crap is that? It's okay to have Obama on your team if your name is uptop but you wouldn't consider it if it were the other way around.

OBAMA 08

Hillary is trying to trick undecided voters into supposing that by voting for her, they can get them both. Whether or not she would actually take him, she is really just trying to edge over him in the race.

Enough of the Dream Ticket talk by the Clintons. Barack Obama is leading in states won, popular and delegate vote and he is running as the President. I trust his good judgement to pick a great Vice President that really adds something to the ticket. It will not be Hillary Clinton.

Why on earth should Clinton be at the top of the ticket, though? Regardless of how anyone feels about the candidates, the voters should decide. If Obama wins, then Clinton can be his V.P. and vice versa. But, Clinton shouldn't use the possibility of a joint ticket (especially after her recent attacks on Senator Obama) to somehow convince voters they are getting a two-for.

Funny how the Clinton campaign leaves out No opportunity to bash Obama. But for a VP position they think he'll be a fantastic choice.
Yes, the Clintons will stop at nothing to mislead their followers.
Obama doesn't need the Clintons in his administration. Thank goodness.

It's just another Clinton trick. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me again, and again, and again, and again, call me a Clinton loyalist.

The people of Ohio do not speak for everyone in this country Hillary, so cool your jets. I'd say eleven straight wins speaks more clearly to the voice of the people…..oh after Wyoming it will be 13 wins, right. We need Obama in the White House.

Back door, brain washing

With Obama as the President……!!

Of course the Clintons are salivating over Obama's ability to generate excitement and bring in new voters. But if Obama were to line up with the Clintons, he would have betrayed those who have supported him so far, because the very concept of decent, honest, respectful politics excludes the Clintons.

Clintons: Quit trying to get a vote with this joint ticket idea and stop riding on Obama's back. Do you really think the American people don't know what your campaign is trying to do?

Obama is running for President not VP and with Hillary as VP candidate would only hurt Democrats chance at the White House!

ok here is the fact. Obama is ahead of Hillary by 150 pledged delegates. He won 27 contests and Hillary just won 14. Obama has more popular votes than Clinton.Then how come this Clinton Obama ticket.? He is the front runner and challenger is proposing this. What does it mean? do they think that American people have no mind and they are mindless animal? or what? This shows how dishonest Clintons are. this is their arrogance and they have accepted the defeat. American people decide soon.

No Way . Please, Obama, do not agrfee to this trap. Your supporters have gove above and beyond for you, we do not like Hillary, We wil not vote for you if she is on the ticket, Cant you see that?????? Wake up, do not let us down, she is losing and desperate, let her run again after your 2 terms are up, but not now

This is a great idea. Senator Clinton is the vested Senator and should be the president. Obama should get some experience and then run for President.

Interesting gambit on the part of the Clintons. He may be right, but I have a hard time imagining Obama settling for the VP role given his significant lead in the delegate race. The Clintons are arguing from a position of weakness.

There is no way I would vote if Hillary was on top of the ticket. She has proven to be as devious as any Republican. We need a fresh start in this country and a positive approach. If Obama was at the top I would tolerate her. By the way what happened with the outcome of the Texas caucus? Also, I saw an article about the Clinton's having contacted the Canadians in the same way they accuse Obama of. I do know psychology and when someone accuses someone else of something it is something they have done or would do. Hillary needs to let the country move forward. Her time is past!

You have to be kidding me. The Clintons are masters in political manipulation, that is for sure. More like, barely 10% more people in Ohio said it should be than told Obama.

I almost get sick to my stomach thinking about Clinton on any ticket.

Hmmmm, so Hillary gets to look like the party unifier and get the top of the ticket? I'm not against a joint ticket, but the true unifier needs to be at the top.

At the end of this primary, Obama will have won both the delegate count and the popular vote. If the voice of the people is ignored, the party will no longer deserve the title of Democratic.

CLINTON DID NOT WIN TEXAS. PLEASE REPORT THE TRUTH AFTER CAUCUS.

Obama is unstoppable. Hillary is dead weight. Why settle for "almost" unstoppable when you can have Obama without Hillary? Hell, Obama-McCain would be better.

That's really nice, Bill.

Barack Obama said on National News today that he wasn't running for Vice President.

Your wife is trailing and you look like a total dope for putting this out there. Then again, you already looked like a total dope, so I guess you're just keeping in character.

Why are they reporting on this? Is Hillary above the Law?

The indictment, rare for a political campaign, was unsealed in Los Angeles charging David Rosen with four counts of filing false reports with the Federal Election Commission. The charges focus on an Aug. 12, 2000, dinner and concert supported by more than $1.1 million in "in-kind contributions" — goods and services provided for free or below cost. The event was estimated to cost more than $1.2 million.

The FBI previously said in court papers that it had evidence the former first lady's campaign deliberately understated its fund-raising costs so it would have more money to spend on her campaign.

Isn't the VP supposed to be qualified to step into the Presidency from day 1 (remember harrison–31 days in office)…

Nice endorsement Bill. Glad you and Hillary both believe he IS qualified for the Presidency after all. We knew you'd come around.

Typical Clinton arrogance…of course it would be Hillary on top…NADA aint go happen. WE dont play to tie, we plan to Win. Obama 08

Tell billo to shut up.
why would Obama give up his probable nominee status to be vp to Billary and why would he taint his own presidency with having a corrupt Clinton on the ticket?
This whole fantasy thing is ridiculous and designed to make voters who are gullible actually believe this would happen.
Never will.
Check out reality sometime.

It takes a former US President to muddle the water - hey, isn't that true that it is Hillary who is behind the total delegates count? Since when the country would take a loser's VP idea so seriously? CNN are you indeed a Hillary Network?

My guess is that the Clintons have heard from a number of Super delagates that have expressed thier concern with Hillary's recent comments that both she and McCain are better candidates than Obama. Such comments are clearly divise to the party and indicatve of an it's me or McCain attidude. By linking herself with Obama she hopes to gain his voters because she can not win the nomination and the support of the party while at the same time creating negative commercials that WILL be used by McCain to defeat both she and Obama.

This is an obvious ploy by the Clinton campaign to sap votes from Obama by offering "you get him if you vote for me". Why doesn't Hillary run for VP - Obama/Clinton. Now that could be a winning ticket. Hillary would have to stop denegrating her running mate though.

The attacks between the three of them (Hillary, Billy and Barack) need to stop. Otherwise, their hot heads will steam over and the likelyhood of a "dream team" will be for not.

Otherwise, this could be the Democratic unstoppable team of all times…….even the Republicans would have difficulty in keeping some of the "red states" in thier domain.

I would love to see the South split this November election. And, this possible Democratic ticket could do it!!!!!!!

i expect the clintons smell defeat–this is just another dirty trick from their dirty campaign.

'08AMA

This appears to be a ploy by the Clinton campaign, "well you might get Obama on the ticket if you vote for ME." SORRY, HILLARY, THE JIG IS UP. Why would Barack Obama want to be your VP when he is ahead right now???? We want him to be PRESIDENT - not your VP.

You mean, an Obama-Clinton Ticket.

I'm not at all the biggest Obama fan, but if that were the case, I agree it would certainly unite the party. Let Obama get some more experience so that way he can practice what he preaches concerning "good judgement". The only way I'd vote democrat this year is if Hillary were first on that ticket. If Obama is first, I'm voting republican or independent. I couldn't stomach a Obama/Clinton ticket, but I'd seriously consider a Clinton/Obama ticket. Let's face it, Obama is not strong enough to win those battleground states, and that's what's needed to win the general election. I think these superdelegates are starting to realize that too. It will be interesting to see how many jump the Obama ship and swim for Clinton shores if Hillary wipes Pennsylvania up with Obama!

The joint ticket may be unstopable Mr Clinton , but we want it to read OBAMA- CLINTON Ticket. This country wants and needs change, and not a make over using the same people who created the problems in the first place.

Clinton -Obama may not work because Hillary Clinton has already endorsed McCain. She is prety much out of the race . So, what we democrats want now is for Hillary to get out of the way so that BAMA can start unifying the party , and move on to defeat McCain and Bush in November.

Joint ticket you You anywhere nearby

would be

CONTAMINATED!!!

I don't see how Clinton can invite Obama to join her if she is only issuing negatives comments on him………negative and dirty politics is the gamne a Hillary wants to play and it will be against her at the end….

Obama 2008!!!

Yes keep fooling people into thinking that by voting for you they will still get Obama, not that most of us think you will have a very hard time winning in November. Clinton shame on you for thinking that the voters can be won by playing on ignorance.

Obama 08′

Keep dreaming, Billy!

This is derogatory and demeaning to Senator Obama. Why would the candidate with the most votes and the most enthusiastic supports be on a joint ticket with Mrs. Clinton?
While we're asking questions - did Mrs. Clinton agree with the presidential pardon of a drug dealer that earned her brother $200,000?

This is the biggest political ploy. We all know that Gen. Clark will be her VP. She is pandering for votes. If Obama picked her for VP he would lose credibility.

This will never happen! Bill, go away.

Gee Hillary, why would you want to run on the same ticket as a Senator whose entire campaign is based on one speech, whose stance on the Iraq War is a "fairy tale," whose plans to meet with world leaders is naive, and whose supporters are "cute but insignificant"…? Oh wait… because none of that is true.

This guy is a joke. did u mean an OBAMA/clinton ticket?
I dont even think he should pick clinton, after all her negativity in this campaign

OBAMA 08′

Dream on!

It'll never happen. Obama wants a fresh approach. No scalndals, no disloyalty!

Clinton doesn't deserve to have her name on the same ticket as Obama. As a result of her dirty tactics and backstabbing of her own party, she's basically excluded herself from any possibility of a joint ticket by practicing the opposite of what Obama stands for.

Hillary is clearly second fiddle, but she would sacrifice the orchestra rather than let Obama play the lead.

Big win in Texas??? Wait up, when you add the caucus and the primary votes, Obama wins.

There could be a joint ticket, but polls show a favourable support for an Obama- Clinton administration. America needs the leadership of Obama to unite the country and restore its place as well-respected powerful nation in the world. After Bush, no one needs Hillary's divisive nature at the helm. I think she is almost conceding that a face-off may not go her way. But she has not heard Obama give any hint to having her as his running mate. She should invest some time in seeking audience with him on the matter, for the good of the party and for the betterment of the nation.

Bill and Hill need a REALITY CHECK……..Obama is the frontrunner…he will be picking a VP …not her!

I am sick of Bushes and Clintons…….they are in the same category as far as I'm concerned……………..CORRUPT TO THE CORE!

A "dream team" is a "gross" mistake–Just say no, Barack.

Are the Clintons' heads so far in the sand that they don't know Obama is leading in this race and they don't make the call about the ticket. I would be very surprised if Obama chose Clinton as his running mate; in fact, I 'm not sure she would help the ticket.

I certainly hope America will not fall for this little ploy from the Clintons to get votes.

Obama has become somewhat arrogant, in my view.

He has gone from a one-term senator to the potential Democratic party nominee for president and he has the audacity to denounce any ideas suggesting he join Hillary on a joint ticket.

There you go again……….Billyboy….you'd better not be making such comments…unless authorized to do so!!!! According to Obama….he ain't interested.

Keep dreaming Bill. We all know she can't win without Obama, and that Obama wouldn't compromise his values by selecting her as his VP.

Pleeeeeease, Hillary and Bill Clinton are just playing tricks. They think they can bring Obama supporters over to their side if she forces Obama to consider running with her with Clinton as the President and Obama as the Vice-President. We, Obama supporters do want this to be left unaddressed out there — we do not want anything to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton. They both, together and alone, have too much baggage and lies along with deceit and trickery. They do not represent a change in the political ways of the past. We need a change at all levels of government, and we will welcome Senator Clinton as a member of the United States Senate.

So Senator Obama is ready for VP, but not POTUS, great. I guess you folks can't win this without his support. But I think Senator Obama can win this on his own credentials.

The Clintons are just using this "ticket" to get Hillary votes. They are not stupid, they know that a lot of people would love to see them run together. They also want the democrats to fall for the "vote for Hillary, she'll pick your guy". How stupid do the clintons think we are? Hillary, on the campaign trail in Mississippi, said," Obama and I would be a great ticket, so I need you to vote for me on Tuesday " she left out the word" dummies" . She must really think that everyone is stupid, not just people who are voting for her. You Hillary voters, you need to look up her name on google. Watch the videos about her on facebook and you tube. The Clintons are dirty fighters!

This is another tactic from the Clinton Camp to get votes…t.

No problem, Obama/Clinton

The Obama campaign needs to respond to this tack more effectively. The Clinton campaign is basically saying that a vote for Hillary will still lead to Obama being on the ticket. Being Vice President with the "First Spouse" stalking the hallways is a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's also giving the republicans exactly what they want with Clinton as an easy target at the front of the ticket.

Only with Obama on top !

Hillary lacks the character, integrity and moral ethics to be Vice President on Obama's ticket. That is what you meant, isn't Bill, that with Obama being the Democratic Presidential Candidate and Hillary would be the Vice Presidential Candidate? I believe that all the Obama supporters wouldn't want Hillary on the Obam's ticket because of her weaknesses and flaws.

A Clinton-Obama ticket wont happen, Obama is throwing her under the bus after he wins.

How can Hillary Clinton in good conscience say Obama is not capable to lead on national defense, and then, in the same breath, say they should be on the same ticket?

Is this a picture of Hipocracy?

I agree with President Clinton. The "Dream Team" is unstoppable as long as Obama is in the VP slot! He needs more on the job training.

I thought Hillary was going to appoint Obama to a Whitehouse Intern position.

Is that a Joint Ticket or simply a Cigar?

I can't imagine the joint ticket strategy working for these particular people.

Absolutely contrary to Obama's platform of change. If he chooses Hillary as his V.P. whether to "unite the party" or to "seal the deal", he compromises his integrity and he knows it. If she wins the nomination and chooses him, I doubt he accepts because it's a risky lot he casts - if the Clinton administration does a disservice to the nation for 4-8 years (if they win the general) his hope of winning after her terms are up is blown to hell.

Either way, this is one true democrat that can't vote for a "dream ticket". It's Obama/Anybody-but-Clinton or no-confidence for me!

These Clintons are quite crafty and insulting. I think Obama is too smart to share a ticket with Hillary. Even if he was at the top of the ticket, Hillary and Bill would try to pull a Dick Chaney on him.

Sorry Bill. I will not vote to put you or your wife back into the WH. Go back to your billion dollar life and stay out of the rest of ours. Peace.

I do hope the press and the American people aren't gullible enough to fall for this "dream ticket" stuff. The Clinton campaign is pushing that idea because it benefits them, but they know perfectly well that this is never, never going to happen. This is just a sneaky attempt by the Clinton campaign to fool voters and the press into thinking that Senator Clinton is ahead in this race and is the inevitable nominee (not true; Senator Obama has more delegates and states and popular votes), and to try to persuade those "on the fence" to vote for Hillary and get Obama as VP in the bargain. There is no way on earth that Senator Obama would ever agree to be Hillary's VP, and she knows this. Her campaign's pushing this absurd idea of a "dream ticket" is just another dirty trick on the part of the Clinton team. She is trying to sell the notion that somehow Senator Obama needs "training wheels" for the presidency and that he should in the meantime take the feckless job of VP, and play second fiddle to Hillary (and Bill). It's an insult to Senator Obama to suggest such a thing– he's way over-qualified for the vice presidency, a job that Jake Garner once said wasn't worth a bucket of warm spit (I'm bowdlerizing; he used another word). Senator Obama has much too much integrity to want to hitch his wagon to the Clintons and have to run on their…er… reputation. Senator Clinton needs Senator Obama's supporters, many of whom will walk away from being active in Democratic politics if Hillary is the nominee. And all of this is moot anyway because Senator Obama is leading in the race for the nomination and if the country and the superdelegates make the right decision, he will be taking the oath of office as our president in 2009.

Billary have been sooooo negative in this campaign, and to top it off they have now become parasitic by trying to feed off of Senator Obama's message of HOPE. The same message they mocked, i.e. "This is just a fairy tale" and "Celestial choirs will sing". Now a dream would be if the Clintons would just bow out gracefully and go fight one of their other many battles…Let's see maybe she should be lawyering up for the PETER PAUL scandal that the news has conveniently ignored!!

Obama/Richards or Edwards, etc (almost anyone but HRC) '08

Obama as President. Clinton as Vice Preident.
Together they will make an unstoppable team.
Goooooo President Obama
Gooooo VP Clinton

Will someone please tell me what the heck went on on Larry King yesterday with that statement about Hillary to put him in the back of the bus. Surprise eh!!!! Larry asked if that is what was said the back of the bus.
God help us if that is put on the TV's with clarity.
The two would make a great team but Hilary will have to cut the verbal attacks that have beengoing on as of late including her team.
I'm from PA and will talk against this dirty styled campagning

Argh! This is a dirty trick!

Clinton says: vote for me, you'll get Barack too. Does anyone really think this is serious? Does anyone think that Obama wants to be a Clinton tool?

She has no right to say this, and is schizophrenically attacking and praising Obama. What a monster.

In your dreams.

Sorry Bill! Hillary would only be dead wait for Obama! His ideology and hers are worlds apart even though most of their plans may be quite similar. The lack of integrity that Hillary has shown overall pales in comparison to Obamas… You're old school Hillary, I would never accept that and I certainly hope that Obama knows better!!!

Obama for President
Anyone else but Hillary for VP - Possibly Al Gore

Why are the clintons consumed about the Joint ticket??? I think she is bailing out after "Pens".

cheers,

A joint ticket is the only way Hillary will beat McCain. Hillary is too far left to win moderates or independents. Obama on the other hand is moderate enough on his own to do it without Hillary. If Obama runs as an independent for a three way race it could be anyones game.

No way Bill. Get this through your thick, lying, cheating, disgraceful head. The majority of the US want no parts of you and Hillary setting foot back in the White House. The people have spoken loud and clear and continue to do so. I might have considered a Clinton/Obama, Obama/Clinton ticket before you both decided to play low-down-'n-dirty, but that shipped has sailed. See you in Pennsylvania.

Obama is a very cool and cautious candidate in his actions…specially when we need a major "CHANGE" in our political system. In that respect, Obama is bold..but don't wont to be very negative on his opponents. Give him a chance to be president…NO VICE PRESIDENT JOB..he deserves to lead our country towards prosperity and peace around the world….

OBAMA 08..!!!!

This would be a good solution and a great combination. What a team these two could make! If they can ignite this much excitement now in the primaries with record turnouts, imagine what they can do together.

Don't Fall for it OBAMA!!! It's a ploy!! She is trying to trick your supporters!!

REMEMBER Al Gore!!!!

You need Huckabeean math to win the pledged delegates, Hillary, so I guess you mean Obama-Clinton, right?

Nice try, Bill. Your wife doesn't deserve to share a ticket with anyone who shows honesty, integrity, decency and ultimately, respect for the Democratic party and process. She has shown her true colors and resembles a Republican operative more and more every day. Her (and your) tactics and dialogue are right out of the Bush and Rove playbook, lesson #101. Why don't the two of you change party affiliation before you destroy the party in your mutual quest for power. Get out now and find a blind and mindless order of minions to populate a newly formed kingdom in the alternate reality of King and Queen Clinton!

While you at it, big guy , please ask Hillary to relinquish her delegates from the Nevada "caucuses" and some of the "small states" she has won since they don't really count nor do the voters, right? You and your well-monied white trash family with power have made a joke of former first families and the democracy we live in. Your rules are not the rules the rest of the country plays by, so get used to it, Bubba boy!!! Get those weaselly surrogates like Lanny Davis, James McCarville, Wolfson, Caputo and Penn to climb back in the swamp where they were bred by all that decomposition and bacteria.

My exact words, I've been saying this very thing for months. A Clinton/Obama ticket, or vice versa would be unstopable.

Despite what some of you here who think this would not work, 69% of democrats would be in favor of the two candidates running on the same ticket. It is time to unify the democratic party, I don't see any other way.

Swallow your pride and do what's best for the party, don't jump ship and vote republican if your candidate doesn't get the nom. Don't be a loser and put another loser in office for the next four years, we have had enough of a loser for the last eaight, don't put the same mentality back in there, we will end up in ruins if you do.

How about an Obama-Clinton ticket? Would Hillary be so quick to say YES to that? It's way to soon to start trying to get one of the candidates to conceed to being the vice president. No need for Obama to conceed when he's just won Wyoming and may win Mississippi.

"I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."

The people of Ohio also said GW Bush should be president for another four years back in 2004…

The Clinton camp keeps pushing this line because they know that Obama is the better candidate, and they want their voters to have an "excuse" for voting Hillary (i.e., "don't worry about voting irrationally — you'll get the better man as a side dish, anyway").

No way, Jose.

The Clintons have torched their own legacies in the past six months. I would have liked such a ticket, with Obama on top, if Hillary had not behaved the way she did during this primary. But she has really shown her colors, hasn't she? She is as incapable as a leader as she is vindictive as a politician. We really don't need that.

I wish people would stop reporting what bill clinton has to say. Discredited + disbarred + disgraced + disinforming + distasteful + dysfunctional + disrespectful + disrespectable = DISREGARDABLE.

this would be ideal….Obama would have tame his competitiveness and ambition to be the first one, but I believe he can do this. It would be beneficial for him.

Oh, yeah. That's all a new President Obama would need. A has-been looking over his shoulder saying, "No, you should do THIS!" I doubt that sort of ticket combo would survive.

On the same note, I'd love to see NM Gov. Bill RIchardson as the Vice President nominee. Now THAT's a ticket I could support!

Obama/Clinton. What makes Hillary call the shots. She is loosing. She is trying to use his hame to win votes. "Shame on You Hillary"

As has been stated in the media, Obama has not yet completed his first term as a senator from Illinois. And he readily admitted in a recent debate that he has been campaigning two of the four years he as been a senator.

Of course, Obama has yet to be reelected as an Illinois senator; Hillary Clinton was reelected by the people of New York–this tells me that they were happy with her work for that state.

Hillary has been involved in top-level politics and in international efforts for decades. I think this alone qualifies her to be president vs. Obama.

But I would like to see a ticket with both of them on it. Obama IS the junior senator of the two. And he would easily slide into the presidency after Hillary's two terms are completed.

A win-win situation, in my view.

I guess he has to push for a joint ticket now, since it seems that is the only his wife might get on the ticket! Clinton LOSES again today in Wyoming.

The people are saying it loud and clear, but the Clintons aren't listening:

NO MORE CLINTONS, NO MORE BUSHES!!!!

This is another dirtry trick of the Clintons. They know there is no way, as long as one knows first-grade math, that Hillary will have more pledged, even total delegates than Obama. Now they are fooling the American people that if they vote for Hillary, they can "buy one, get one free." The Clintons are underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Obama will be the nominee and he does not need a divisive, win-at-no-cost figure like Hillary. An Obama-but-no-Hillary ticket will be the best chance for the Party in November. An an independent, I know I will vote for Obama in November if the VP is NOT Hillary but will vote for McCain as long as Hillary is on the ticket.

Not a good idea Obama, Don't trust the Clintons. They are the king and queen of double talk.

Ummm Hillary… no we didn't. Clearly Obama should be on top of the ticket.

Clinton's are obviously afraid, therefore the joint ticket idea.

I would be devastated if Obama's wonderful reputation and name would be tainted by a joint ticket with Hillary Clinton.

A joint ticket is a step down for Obama and a step up for Clinton.

Obama may not comment but this Obama supporter will.

Let this be clear: If Hillary is on the ticket, I stay home.

What a joke the Clintons are making of this race; they need Obama if they win the race; he doesn't need them…he will find a VP who reflects his views of uniting rather than dividing.

What about updating your delegate count to reflect the superdelegate count; you continue to be behind all other counts and should not be posting it online or on the screen!!

The Clintons are only interested in promoting the possibility of a joint ticket to convince you that by voting for her, you get them both. Obama would never be on the ticket with her, not at the top or otherwise. As for character and leadership, she/he represent everything Obama is against. The Clintons know this. So all this talk is simply a carrot….and many people will foolishly take it. Wake up, people!

Bill please we need fresh faces with new ideas, we are sick and tired of the Clinton's and the Bush's fake Politics

wrong. an obama/anybody but clinton ticket would be unstoppable.

That would be great - if Obama could keep from getting corrupted by Clintons ….

Why are the Clinton's scrambling for a draw?

There's no way Hillary is going to win the nomination.

Obama has worked hard enough to get to this point. There's no turning around. Hillary should concede and campaign for him during the general election. That's what everyone else does.

in your dreams hillary!!!ur going down loser!!!

For Obama's stance on the Iraq war, alone, he's far and above the better candidate. Clinton has already shown how unfit she is to be president, in the mismanagement of her campaign, and the dismissmal of states where she's lost, and in her parroting of republican/mccain talking points in attacking Obama.

Nice try Bill (and Hill) for these startegic hints on a joint ticket but we are not ignorant of your new politcal strategy to sway some votes your way going into Mississipi. We can read inbetwen the lines.

President Clinton is the Best. He is brilliant.

President Clinton should be proud of his record. This man balanced our debt. There were no shortages of jobs and the country was extremely positive. For those that weren't around. He was fun and brilliant. Hillary was a First Lady that all people throughout the world loved.

Hillary will bring the world back to order. Experience,experience……please think with your brains.

I want Universal Health care or do you want to be the one of those 15million that doesn't have health insurance?

Bill, give up already. Obama said he is not interested in running for VP. As smart as he is, he should know that having Hillary as the VP will cost his chance to be the next US President. Please do some good for the country and we will remember you as a good former President.

That would be Obama - Clinton ticket….. the leader doesn't take the back seat Billyboy

What he forgets is that there are plenty of people who don't want Hillary as president!

The Clinton and Obama ticket would make a lot of sense and it would end the decision of how to delegate the remaining delegates in the event one does not get all the required delegates (which is appearing to be the case). The Democrats need a strong ticket to defeat Senator McCain in the fall.

I could go for a Clinton-Obama ticket, if I had to, but NOT an Obama-Clinton ticket. I think we need Hillary's experience.

As a Canadian, I think that would be amazing! What an impressive message to send to the world! However, with all those scathing remarks Hillary has made about Barack, would he welcome it with as much enthusiasm? That remains to be seen.

That goes without saying…but will Hillary accept being 2nd fiddle to Obama?

umm, no

After all the Clintons have done in the last months, I can't imagine voting for any ticket that had her name on it. Democrats who believe that by voting for Clinton they might end up with Obama, too, may be in for an unpleasant surprise. I fear that the fantastic turn-out and participation by new voters will stop dead in its tracks if Clinton is given the nomination by super delegates — and I don't think we can expect those voters to be back anytime soon.

Bill,
Hillary lost Texas. Tell the truth.

Obama’s Silence

Why is Obama silent about the rights of Florida and Michigan voters?

I notice the only people calling for a Clinton-Obama ticket are the Clintons. Can't get into the big house on your own (now that its not inevitible) so you want to ride his coattails in?

Well, HIllary will do anything, say anything, in order to get what she feels she's entitled to. So first she claims that Obama is incompetent, etc. And then if , god forbid, she becomes the nominee and realizes that she can't win without Obama, then she'll be extolling his virtues. She doesn't think words matter. She believes in saying whatever is necessary, doing whatever is necessary, to get what she wants. How contemptible, but how typical of the Big Dog to now start touting the so-called "dream ticket."

Obama is the worse thing that could happen to america. He and his wife are not fit to be elected dog catcher in this country. Put him any where near your ticket and I'll vote for McCain.

Not going to happen unless the media - including CNN - wants it to.

The media is driving this election. Hilary screams foul and all the media outlets shake in their boots. Gutless! Wolf Blitzer, Jessica Yellin and others on CNN are so pro-Clinton its has become amusing. They have become as bad as the Fox News Network. Why doesn't CNN just endorse Hilary Clinton?

Don't anyone worry. She is going to win the democratic nomination and the Whitehouse. CNN and the media will make sure of that.

I totally agree, however, I would NEVER vote for Obama as President. No way, not ever!!!!

Uhmmm… I thought it was the American people that decides who wins the Presidency…not the people of Ohio or Canada.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It would help greatly if she stopped with the negativity, because if she does become HIS running mate she'll be hard to trust.

OBAMA 08!!!

Cllinton - McCain = more of the same.

I would support a Obama/Clinton Ticket, but I would want to see Obama on the top as president as he is more open to outside opinions so he can form a educated and balanced decision and I really doubt if Hillary would be able to do this as to me she looks like a person that wants everything to go her way even if it isn't always the right or the smart choice. But that is just my observation and I do see both positive and negative aspects.

The Clinton arrogance knows no bounds. Earth to Bill you are losing. So you want Obama to be #2..and why would he link himself with everything that is is fighting against? Remember Al Gore? Your behavior cost him the White House. Just go away…we are so tired of you.

Obama 2008

Nice try Bill, fool those folks and get them thinking that they should vote for Hillary because she is going to add Barack to her team.
If the Clinton's and the Super Duper Delegates steal the election away from the people, then I hope Barack kicks the party in the behind by saying fine, I will run as an independent or write in. He will still win!!! But then he can really clean house and show them what kind of jaw he has!

A joint ticket is quite stoppable. No matter how you stack the ticket, a ticket that has the Clintons on it will cause the Democrats to lose in a landslide. People under-estimate the voters desire to keep the Clintons away from the White House, regardless of what role they play.

In your dreams Bill. Your wife has managed, in the past week, to stop any thought of a duel ticket for your party. When was the last time another Democrat, during a campaign run, has favored a Republican candidate over another Democrat? You and Hillary should really go back to Arkansas and find one anothe again.
Hillary, this past week, has been everything that I do not want, will not support, would never vote for - someone that thinks THEY are why we vote - Bill, you and Hillary just don't seem to get it.
It's about getting a Democrat in the White House, hopefully the Democrat voters will select the best electable, not playing "pit bull" for the Republican opponent.

Definitely think Hillary Clinton for president and Barack Obama for VP would be a winning ticket. That would position him to take over as president in 8 yrs.

Uhmmm… I thought it was the American people that decides who wins the Presidency…not the people of Ohio , Canada or CNN.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Right! Just Al Gore how easy is to run as Democrat after the Clintons

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

One task at a time. Let's finish this dem nomination and then address the VP position. Right now all I wanna hear about are policies. While you're at it, I wanna know where the $5million you loaned your campaign came from so release your tax returns. The Clintons are known for shady deals — Dubai, Paul, etc.

Quit saying you have foreign relations experience when that has been discounted. Quit attacking your fellow democrat and then playing up the joint ticket in MS. Wait until after the MS primary and this talk of a joint ticket will only surface when convenient 'as usual'. Geez.

CNN = CLINTON NEWS NETWORK. Publish this and I will be impressed.

oops! *ask Al Gore

Never!

The Clintons wish Obama would be on "their" ticket…

As has been said before, Billary needs Obama to beat McCain, Obama needs Billary like he needs Super Aids…

I love how the Clintons look at the "energy and the new people that [Obama's] brought in" as some sort of voting contingency that can just be absorbed through a joint ticket!

Part of the reason Obama has that support is because we, the movement, want nothing to do with the Clinton dynasty…and the corrupt, ruthless, dishonest, manipulative, and calculating politics of old!

As an independent who is a strong supporter of Obama, I think that Mrs. Clinton needs to be much nicer to Senator Obama if she wants to be his veep. And I hope that he refuses the offer if she happens to steal the nomination. I'm don't want the Clintons back in the whitehouse so I won't be supporting her if she's the nominee.

Can Bill stop these dirty little tactics and instead focus on his wife's campaign?? I don't think Obama should even consider becoming her running mate should she win this nomination, something I don't see happening. What Bill is trying to do is to sell the idea of the 'dream ticket' such that it becomes not just acceptable but make the democrats believe that it is the only way the democrats can win this coming general election. Therefore when Hillary fails to win the nomination, the democratic voters would have been brainwashed enough and that they would settle for nothing short of Hillary becoming his VP or Obama would 'alienate' the democratic voters.

The only chance she , Hillary has of being on the ticket is if she Concede - Now! and stop the personal, negative attacks on Barack Obama, otherwise "We the People" will support another candidate such as Edwards!

This strategy is so obvious that it makes me giggle. Let's tear down Obama, but try to co-opt his supporters by telling them, "Don't worry if we destroy him, because we'll include him as VP". Really? Let's just ignore the fact that by the end of the primaries he will have won more states (29 of 43 or 44 thus far), more pledged delegates, and more popular votes. Why? Because the Clintons told us it must be so.

What is so silly about this big state argument of the Clintons is that the only way the Democratic party can really grow is if we learn to compete in a lot of the states Obama has won and in which he has shown he can garner large voting blocks: States like Georgia, Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Vermont, South Carolina, Kansas etc. . ..Those are the states in which we need to compete in order to have McCain divert his resources there. Does anybody really think that McCain is going to win NY? Or California? No, he won't. No. The only way we can have an election night where Democrats are not just writing off large sections of the country (ala 2000 and 2004) is if we have someone who can expand the states in which we compete.

So, there really is no argument.

Let's not discuss the health of the Democratic party which has the change to grow the party by attaining a higher percentage of the youth voters with Barack as a nominee as opposed to Hillary. Of course, the Clinton campaign doesn't seem to care too much about the party's future. Nope - just getting their remaining eight years in the White House so they can have their Sweet 16 party in 2017!

Obama supporters - I hope you don't fall for this nonsense of supporting Hillary b/c she may pick Barack! We are winning and we will have a much more robust argument than her at the end of the primary season.

But, Bill may be right. Perhaps we can attain this unstoppable ticket. Put Clinton in as VP!

I want to vote for Obama but I will not support any ticket with Hillary Clintion's name on it.
AP - Miami, FL

Nothing will motivate Republicans to get out and vote for McCain like Hillary could if she were on the ticket even as VP. All the polls show that Obama has the edge over Hillary in defeating McCain. Republicans absolutly hate the Clintons. Why do you think that right-wing talkers like Rush Limbaugh and others urged Republicans to get out and vote for Hillary in the recent caucases in Ohio and Texas? They want McCain to run against the weakest Democratic candidate to give him the best chance of keeping a Republican in the W.H.. There is good evidence that a significant number of republicans actually did this. The Texas caucases show a 10 point lead for Obama because Republicans are excluded from participating. I find the Clintons new strategy of trying to paint themselves as the magnanimous, front runners who graciously "allow" Obama a spot on the ticket as VP to fool Obama (who is, mathematicly, a sure thing to be the Democratic nominee) laughable in its transparent, desparation. Please Hillary, do the right thing and drop out of the race now before you rip America apart with your ambition.

How much of an ego is this? Obama needs to decline any hint of a VP title under Hillary, and do it now. he needs to call them for even suggesting this. This is just vile!!!

Give me a Break Bil!!! A Clinton/Obama Ticket Would be a Disaster!!!! Here You again, spouting Off again!!! I for ONE would NOT Vote for this Ticket, Ever!!! You have Had Your day in The Sun, and quite Frankly the American Public is Fed UP with you and Hillary's Antics!!! Hopefully When Obama gets the Nomination and I AM SURE HE WILL, I hope he Has the good Judgement NOT to have her as Vice President.. Give it UP Bill, !!! We are sick and tired of you interferring !!!! Obama 08

This strategy is very condescending. Obama is in this to WIN. That's why he has won more states and more delegates.

ofcourse they are saying this………she knows she will lose… she is doing her best to hurt sen. obama enough to be considered as a VP. the problem with her tactics is that she doesnt care about the voters she only cares about herself and if she cant get the nomination she will try to wound the person who can……….she is grasping at straws and I think its pathetic…….she should be ashamed of herself.
I say Obama & Edwards 08

Mr. Obama: If you consider Hillary Clinton as your running mate, you will lose a LOT of votes-and possibly the election. You don't realize how many people detest her. I could not vote for her in any way; she and Bill care only about themselves. LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE-don't consider her in your administration. She is poison.

It just goes to show the arrogance of the Clintons to dare to even suggest that Obama run on a ticket with them after their tactics during this campaign!
Just trying to use him for their own selfish gain! He doesn't need them, but they sure would need him. Hope he tells them exactly what they can do with their ticket!
The Clintons will never get my vote with or without Obama!

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!

I donot think every delegate repsents the same number of voters. In big states, a delegate repsents more voters than in small states. Can anyone try to calculate the voters ration? I guess the voters ration is more useful to Clinton's campaign.
I am really tired of speeches. All the speeches were made to accuse of an approving vote. Did he do any practical thing to prevent that war from happening? Why didn't the other sentors, who also voted to approve the war, step forward to speak fairly?
All the politician are alike, why donot we choose the experienced and responsible one?

Hillary 08!

The ticket is inevitable! 16 years of democrats and restoring America to esteem and global likability.

Bill please, by August Obama will be a liability.
Neither Hillary nor the democratic party need Obama.

Any day now Senator Obama will be subpeonaed to testify for the defense in the Rezko trial.

Everyday there's more dirt on Senator Obama. Even his own advisors can't help sticking their foot in their mouths and sabotaging their own candidate.

I'd rather see a Clinton/Edwards ticket.

GO HILLARY '08!!!!

With this Rezko house deal where it is obviously clear Obama has recieved a kickback with possible allegations and investigation from the republicans, will president Hillary really need those kind of headaches from her VP. His pretending to be clean while making these side deals is not what you need from your VP, It'll be her call but Obamas ties to a slumlords like Rezko is not going away. Obama has to come clean and answer all questions on why he took a $300,000 payment in the form of a land deal.

Is Bill Clinton saying that his wife is running for Vice-President now ??

I think the Hillary Camp are subtly settling for second place because they sense that they might not win the nomination but at least they can secure the VP spot and perhaps influence Obama's rule in office. Which in itself smells fishy. Every since Clinton fan is saying it… it is a definite ploy.

On the other hand I also sense they are trying to perhaps cut into Obama's possible base. I have heard them say a Vote for Hillary and you can have Obama as your VP. It win-win for everyone.

Some people will just do anything for power.

A Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket would be unstoppable. Unstoppable destruction to Obama's name. Like Powell, Sec of State for W was unstoppable. Prior to Powell's service to this administration, Powell would have had the support to run for President. Obama will win the White House without Clinton. Clinton will have to deal with all the mudslin
