Democrats Support “Dream Ticket”

By a 60 – 33 percent margin, Democrats say Barack Obama should pick Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate, a national Quinnipiac Poll found today.
Also, Obama or Clinton leads Arizona Sen. John McCain. Obama leads McCain, the GOP nominee, 47 – 40 percent while Clinton is up 46 – 41 percent, the poll found.
Among Democrats, Obama is ahead slightly as 45 percent say they want to see him win the nomination, while 41 percent want to see Clinton as the nominee.
And Democrats say 63 – 34 percent Clinton should stay in the race.
“Party leaders may be cringing over the potential damage to Democratic chances in November from the endless primary campaign, but two-thirds of the rank-and-file think Clinton ought to keep battling,” said Quinnipiac pollster Mickey Carroll.
“The ‘dream ticket?’ Three out of five Democrats like the idea.”
Former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo yesterday endorsed the idea of an Obama-Clinton ticket.
“Look, what we want more than anything is to win, and to win you’re going to need all the votes she gets and you don’t,” said Cuomo on CNN’s The Situation Room. “The best way to do it is to invite her on the ticket. If, in fact, at the end of process you win, which it looks like you might very well, then why not add her to the ticket?â€

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the democrats are getting carried away….it will be hard
enought for obama to beat mccain…can you imagine the
distraction if hillary and bill are on the campaign
trail…no one votes for vice president…
Ain’t gonna happen. I’m thinking Jim Webb for Veep. He’s got the military and foreign policy experience that Obama’s short on, plus he doesn’t take guff from anybody and says it like he sees it.
Yes! The dream ticket—the Democrats’ best imaginable since McGovern-Eagleton (oops!—Shriver!) in 1972.
They’ll at least carry Massachusetts and DC; perhaps Minnesota, too. Add in angry New York Democrats and the land of fruits, nuts, and flakes (my home state of CA) and Mr. Obama may win 120 electoral votes when all is done.
rumor going around that Obama will pick Chuck Hagel anti
war republican senator but conservative on lots of other
things…
If Obama asks Clinton to run for Vice President he should call her at 3 o’clock in the morning.
