Clinton-Obama Ticket Stirs Fear in GOP

By Paul Bedard

Posted 12/11/06


The possibility that a potential Democratic presidential primary matchup between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama could lead to a Clinton-Obama ticket is raising concerns in GOP circles that it might be unbeatable.
While Democratic strategists are more skeptical of the success of a ticket composed of two minorities, some Republican advisers to the White House and leading 2008 hopefuls Sen. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani see the ticket as an easy winner built on the enthusiasm it would generate in Democratic circles.
Their theory is that Clinton would stand a good chance to pick up the states that Sen. John Kerry won in 2004. While not enough to win the election on her own, the addition of Obama would help push closely divided states like Ohio over into the Democratic column, thereby giving the Clinton-Obama ticket the White House.
"Listen, we've got some lackluster people running on our side, and that is exactly the kind of ticket that would get their side in a fever pitch," said a Bush ally. Democrats aren't so sure it would work, though, because of Clinton's high negatives and Obama's short résumé and race. But the Bush adviser said those factors are actually winners: Obama could help soften Clinton's image and bring more African-American voters to the ticket as well as independents seeking real and symbolic change.

First Pelosi as speaker of the house, now this possibility

OK let's be real. The fact that George W. Got elected again, after being such a fucktard, proves the the voting public in the USA has it collective head up it's own ass at times.

America is most certainly not ready to Elect a Woman or an African American to the White house. Putting them both on the same ticket will result in a Republican victory faster then you can say Dean-Kerry!

As disillusioned as people may be with the Republicans, a ticket headed by John McCain would be hard for the democrats to beat, no matter who they run, but Hillery and Obama would just give McCain an easy victory.

Will America ever elect a Woman or Black person President? I believe that it will happen some day, we just are not there yet!

A tee bit stoned here, but does the article state Clinton being member of a minority?

Don't forget, Obama is also a Muslim.

I dunno, it will bring the female, minority, and muslim vote out. It's gonna be interesting if it pans out.

And, yes, Hillary was pointed out as a minority...

The Obamas are members of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

You are right... his parents were Muslim, but he converted to Christianity...

Obama’s Dad, a Muslim from Kenya, left home when he was two. His Mom remarried and went with her new husband to Indonesia where Obama lived during his salad years. It is well known that Obama, the teenager lived with his grandparents in Hawaii, where he attended the same school attended by Hawaii royalty. Yet little is known about who Obama’s step father was. But some say that he was an Indonesian national and a Muslim.

Then it says:

The chapters in the Life and Times of Barak Obama always race ahead. It was during one of those chapters when we found him taking up community organizing in the Altgeld Gardens housing project on the south side of Chicago, when he converted to Christianity, formerly being secular.

Then it says:

My sources have told me he is a sleeper agent.

John McCain and Rudy Guiliani....yay...more power to the government types who don't actually stand for anything.

However considering the choice between electing a socialist or a conservative who doesn't understand the definition of the word...I guess I am forced to chose the latter.

I wish that Kinky Friedman would run for president.
