Clinton-Obama Ticket?
Senator Hillary Clinton alluded to a possible “dream ticket” with both her and Senator Barack Obama on the Democratic ticket. However, someone has to be at the top of the ticket, and I personally do not see either Clinton or Obama agreeing to the second spot. I think this race will continue through the convention and a possible ticket with the two front-runners will not happen.
Senator Obama says it is too early to talk about a joint ticket.
“I hope people start asking is what exactly is this foreign experience she is claiming,” he said. “Was she handling crises during this period of time? I haven’t seen any evidence that she is more equipped to handle a crisis.
“She made the experience argument and her ability to handle a crisis, so I think it is important to examine that claim and not just allow her to assert it,” he added. “She has made the argument that she is thoroughly vetted. If the suggestion is somehow that on issue of ethics or disclosure or transparency that she is somehow going to have a better record than I have or could (better) withstand Republican attack, then that should be tested.”
I see a much tougher and uglier fight over the next couple months, as I don’t think either candidate can wrap up the nomination before the convention. Clearly Clinton’s campaigning over the last week or so worked, as exit polling showed most that made up their minds in the last week went to Clinton.
