How about – neither? I think it is ludicrous and insulting for Clinton to suggest that Obama be her vice-president. Insulting. I swear she’s insane in some ways.

Neither. Both have egos and neither would ever lose their integrity by being second to the other.

I realize neither “dream ticket” will happen—just wondering hypothetcally if one combo would be preferable to the other and why. Vice prez is usually out of the spotlight—maybe one should be the other’s Secretary of State?

neither! Obama and somebody else!

Probably Clinton/Obama for the sake of preventing power trips. Clinton would NOT be happy working under Obama… in her mind, it would be like the CEO working for the VP.

if I were Obama I wouldn’t have Hillary be my VP, guaranteed assassination.

I second Riser. Whether she’s on top or bottom doesn’t matter.
Together they do not add to the ticket. They cancel each other out.

I don’t think either is a “dream ticket.” They both involve Hillary Clinton.

i think that would be a disaster to have them together… i doubt they would work well together for the reasons some of you already stated…... I’m with DJM…obama and someone else!

agreed obama and someone else. I don’t trust hilary, she’d probably just kill him to get his spot If she was his VP.

Clinton/anybody will never be a partnership, but could be a functioning ticket. It will be Hillary and the guy/gal who is supposed to bring in some votes and then shut up and do what they are told. She needs a yes man, or Bill, or somebody she has enough dirt on to put their ego in a jar for 4 years. Like Gore did.

Anybody/Clinton simply would not ever, ever last. Not possible, no way, she is done with second banana.

I see no reason why Obama, short of dirt we don’t know about or a back room deal we would never approve of, would accept either ticket.
