Billary's blatent push for a joint ticket.

[Schwahalala]

Hillary and Bill have both mentioned the possibility of a joint ticket.

I don't think this in anyway helps Obama.

As Kev said if he is President - the over under on him living is probably 100 days after he takes the oath of office.

If he takes the Vice President's job he will get buried by the Clinton's in meaningless tasks.

Running as an outsider and hooking up with the man doesn't work for him. He needs to stay as far away as he can from the Clintons.

Obama's too smart for that shit.

By doing what they have done -

They make Obama risk alienating Clinton supporters if he doesn't pick her corrupt ass.

BONNEY LAKE, Wash. -- Casey Knowles didn't much like a recent campaign commercial for Hillary Clinton -- even though she's in it as a sleeping 8-year-old.

After all, she is about to turn 18 now and is a big supporter of Barack Obama.



"What I don't like about the ad is its fear-mongering," Knowles told ABC's "Good Morning America Weekend Edition" on Sunday. "I think it's a cheap hit to take. I really prefer Obama's message of looking forward to a bright future."

The well-known Clinton ad aired in Texas before last week's vote and implied a lack of experience on Obama's part. It showed an exterior of a Colonial-style home and old stock footage of Knowles sleeping in bed. A narrator describes a phone ringing in the White House: "It's 3 am and your children are safely asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?"

Clinton won the Texas primary by a 51-47 percent margin.

Knowles said she didn't see the ad until Jon Stewart lampooned it Thursday on "The Daily Show." Her brother noticed it was her, and the family replayed the commercial on their digital recorder to be sure.

"They were parodying this ad, kind of poking fun at it," Knowles said. "My brother was like, 'Is that Casey?' And we just erupted. Sure enough, it's me."

The file footage was originally shot for a railroad company advertisement. The Clinton campaign bought it from Getty Images.

Knowles, a senior at Bonney Lake High School who turns 18 next month, has been campaigning for Obama. She attended his rally at Seattle's KeyArena on Feb. 8. Her mother, Pam, told The News Tribune of Tacoma that Casey cried and trembled after shaking the candidate's hand.

The next day, she was a Democratic precinct captain for the state's caucuses. If she plays her cards right, she could go to the national convention.

Not to mention that she could be in another ad. After her identity became known, Obama's campaign contacted her.

"I mentioned that we should make a counter ad, me and Obama, against Hillary," she said. "They thought that was really funny. They actually might take me up on it."

That said, Knowles said she plans to vote for whichever Democrat wins the nomination.

I don't think so. If Obama wins the nomination he'll be focused on Democrat vs. Republican.

The Clinton supporters are more aligned to the "good of the party". IOW, they'd vote for Obama regardless.

Besides, that's something Obama shouldn't worry about right now.

Tom Daschle was on Meet the Press yesterday, he said its funny that the person running second (Clinton) offers the front runner (Obama) the #2 job

Do you guys really believe this?

[Schwahalala]

Do you guys really believe this?

Elvis - not really.

But at face value - why would you add a person who would make the Republicans vote in droves?

[madyaks]

Hillary hasn't ever actually said Obama would be the VP in that joint ticket, has she?

That's what Daschle said yesterday....

Oh yeah,

While making the rounds after Texas and Ohio.

She said the people of Ohio clearly want her on the top of the ticket.

Completely agree. I am planning to vote for Obama, but I don't think I could do so if Hillary was his VP choice. Obama is too smart to do that anyway. He knows what a polarizing figure the she is.

[BringBackZezel]

Obama has announced that he will not join the ticket as the VP. Why would he? It's never good to be a losing VP. Hillary has zero chance of winning a general election...and Obama could just run again in 4 years.

Damn, she has fucking balls.

Damn, she has fucking balls.

That smell like desperation.
