of a Clinton/Obama ticket is for the Democratic party?
I think it's interesting, that even 20 years ago the idea of a woman and a black man running on the same ticket and as front-runners was nearly out of the question. What do you think has changed in the last 20 years to allow this as a very real possibility?
The Clinton's keep using the "old News" line also . But as we both know ;there is much dredging that goes on during these campaigns. Rudy G. is still answering questions about his personal life and all candidates have to defend their public record going back decades . You see ;the Clinton's don't mind the past being revisited if it helps them . Witness the fluff piece the NY Slimes wrote this week about Hillary in the 1960s .
"The political reality remains that too many Iowa Democrats and independents can't get past Hillary Clinton's obvious lifelong desire for power, and her exquisitely hedged positions on just about everything important. Edwards, now that he is being scrutinized more closely, looks a lot more like an opportunist with a great smile than a President.
But, Barack Obama is still firmly planted where he's always been, preaching the gospel of redemption and hope, spinning a seductive tale of change, and carefully planning for the greatest political upset since JFK. The golden opportunity for generational change in our political leadership that Obama represents, and his promise to restore our pride in American leadership will carry him through to the Presidency. And Iowa will be the beginning."

As much as I like Obama, I simply don't believe he will get the nomination. If he wants to be included in the race for president, I think he will have to be relegated to the VP position.
I don't disagree with that point, Chou. I was just defending myself against the accusation that "I don't know anything about Hillary or Obama", and stating the reasons that I believe that Hillary and Obama can't get along together. Gossip, yes. But that is a valid basis for character assessment, isn't it?
