There's been a lot of talk about a possible joint ticket with either Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama.
So what I want to know is whether people who support one candidate or the other would still vote if clinton was the nominee (or vis versa). I know there is a lot of Clinton haters out there, I'm one of them, and even though I like Obama, I would not support him if his VP was Clinton.
It has been called a dream ticket by Bill Clinton and other members of the DNC, and their right, it is a dream.....a bad dream.
So, sorry if the thread title mislead you, but hey, whatever works right?
That's just my opinion on the joint ticket, however, I'm quite anxious to hear what y'all think.

I Enjoyed tha U Tube clip and I did smile when the camera zoomed in on the empty lapels.
Hope that puts all the unfounded rumours and downright lies to rest.
To be quite honest, the only way that I would support a ticket with either of them on it is if I thought that they'd do such a horrible job in office that they'd accomplish next to nothing and would make a conservative backlash.
The only way Clinton will get VP is if she somehow prevents Obama from not getting 2,205 despite not getting there herself, and pretty much FORCE Obama to hand over the VP slot. Thank GOD the voters aren't stupid enough to allow that to happen (We're just talking about the people who gave Bush 2 terms, I'm sure there's reason to hope)
I thought you were gonna ask us to join you smoking a joint.
Nah, I wouldn't support a joint ticket. I'd say the best ticket is Obama with a more economically liberal (read: fiscal conservative) and more experienced democrat. I'd say Obama/Richardson.

Haha, clever. Twisted, but clever.
No offense to Clinton or Obama followers but I can't swallow either candidate. One attempts to take the race through ferocity and dirty tactics while the other sits on the sidelines calmly explaining that he would not stoop to that level and *kiss kiss* *love love*, we've got a candidate whose been able to revert all the negativety against the oppresor. That, on top of slogan after slogan, speech after speech with little to no reference to the issues of which are not to my liking anyways. . .

If there was such a ticket, they'd have to be in office 20+ years to create a quarter of the backlash that Bushco. created.

That's pretty much the reason their probably going to be in office ironically enough.
