"No 2 to No 1: be my No 2"..from Sunday Morning Herald Australia.

This article captures the pure absurdity of Bill Clinton's suggestion of the ticket with his wife at the top of it.

The picture accompanying the article says it all.



Be my VP

Hillary and Bill Clinton are again teaming up on Barack Obama - this time saying the first-term US lawmaker, whom they have derided as inexperienced, would be a strong running mate on a Democratic presidential ticket headed by the former first lady.

In hailing Obama as a possible vice president, the Clintons are reaching out to him and, perhaps more importantly, to his backers, whose support she would need to defeat Republican presidential candidate John McCain in the November election.

Obama leads Clinton, a fellow Democratic senator, in a bruising race for their party's presidential nomination, but neither is likely to reach the 2,025 delegates needed to become the nominee in the remaining state by state contests.
The candidate said last week she and Obama may end up on the same ticket, with her on top.

Daschle and Rendell had differing views.

Former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota, an Obama backer, mocked the idea.

"It may be the first time in history that the person who is running number two would offer the person running number one the number two position," Daschle told Meet the Press.

..."Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell, a Democratic who has sought to rally support for Clinton in his state's April 22 primary, backed the idea of Clinton and Obama teaming up. "It would be a great ticket," Rendell told NBC's Meet the Press.

Speaking of Rendell, did you hear that he and Corzine are going to be raising millions for the do-overs in FL and MI? They are both Hillary supporters. I think people should be getting some uncomfortable vibes about these do-overs about now.
