What are the chances that at least 2 of the 3 leading candidates will be on the Dem ticket? |
|
Or...which of the three would be more willing to choose one of the others?

1. I'd say slim, because they're senators. |
|
I can't imagine we'll run 2 senators.

2. There's a lot of reciprocity between the |
|
Edwards and Obama camps.
I've heard speculation about Hillary and Obama. I can't even fathom that scary possibility.
I suppose there is a ton behind-the-scenes wrangling and communication between these three camps. We can only imagine.

3. I think the best chance of that is a Clinton/Obama ticket. |
|
Neither Edwards nor Obama would pick Hillary. First, her presence on the ticket would overshadow the, and that's the one big thing a vice presidential candidate cannot do. Second, in terms of demographics, a senator from the northeast would add little to the ticket.
By contrast, Clinton tapping Obama would draw in all those indie voters who are more interested in the cult of personality around Obama than they are in the actual politics and policy of the Democratic Party. It would also serve to heal the intraparty rift that would no doubt develop in the wake of a Clinton nomination. On a personal level for Obama, it would give him the experience that is currently the biggest knock against him, setting him up fr a presidential run in 2016.

5. I think Clinton-Obama is possible. Obama-Clinton less so. |
|
I think Clinton-Obama would be unbeatable, with a chance for 55-58% of the vote. Obama-Clinton would also win easily.

8. I'm going to make the following prediction: |
|
If either Hillary or Obama get the nomination, the VP will be a white man from the south who isn't John Edwards.

9. I don't think it will happen. But, an Edwards/Obama or Obama/ |
|
Edwards ticket might work out well in that the two men have certain traits that would compliment each other. Obama has a type of general charisma that makes people believe in him and Edwards has a good type of "yard dog" quality that might fit well in an administration. We would have Obama for the unifying and Edwards to carry out the processes necessary for change.
Senator Clinton is saying all of the right things. But, I fear that she is far to close to big business to be able to come down hard on their greedy policies.
