Clinton/Obama? I know it sounds crazy but ...

I used to feel that any Presidential ticket would need at least one token "Southern White Male." However, upon reading THIS:

Voters are showing up at Democratic primaries and caucuses in record numbers, doubling, tripling or even quadrupling the turnout totals recorded in the last fully contested two-party election in 2000. Overall, Democrats have so far outnumbered Republicans at primary polling places by a rate of almost two to one.

...

At least four factors are driving turnout:

* wide-open races for both party's nominations,
* the historic candidacies of both a black man and a woman
* general concern about the direction of the country
* rising economic anxiety.

Michael McDonald, a political scientist at George Mason University who studies voter participation, pointed in particular to Barack Obama, whose age and cross-party appeal has helped attract unusual numbers of independents and young people to Democratic contests. As of now, he says, independents are breaking for Democrats by a ratio of two to one. "One of the reasons why independents and young people are voting in a Democratic nomination process where they normally would not be involved is that there is an attractive candidate for them," said McDonald. He added that Obama's impact on turnout could be a cautionary tale for Democrats and Clinton. "I'm not sure if Clinton can replicate the same sort of magic that Obama has in mobilizing young voters and Independents to participate," said McDonald. ...

I'm reconsidering.

Hillary is not as motivational as Obama, but she is a fighter who has proven her metal against Republican smears. She also has an experienced "machine" behind her. She is at the top of the ticket right now in the "pre-super tuesday" states so things are looking "good" for her as a possible nominee.

Yeah yeah, I know Hillary supporters and Obama supporters are taking the media (race/gender) divide bait, however perhaps we should consider the possibility of such a ticket instead?

I say this as an Edwards supporter who is prepared to support the Democratic ticket with fervor!

I am fully prepared for the "no way" posts and or the "sink like a stone" phenom. :P

Yes, the next president will probably be a former senator, even though the last time such a ticket won was in 1960.

However this time, whoever our nominee is s/he will have to have a military man as a running mate.

For Clinton, many of us wish for Wes Clark. For Obama, I've read here for Webb.

:shrug: This is an historic election in many ways.

Again, I agree generally speaking, but upon reading the above, I wonder...

there's no way he'll be considered for her VP.

each other day and night and move on...if Obama doesn't get the nom, he'll probably try to undercut Hilary.
