12. Agreed. No one can motivate republicans like Hillary.
Republicans hate her with a passion. Independents hate her almost as much. Independents will elect the next president and they won't elect Hillary.

22. Anybody But Clinton
because if you put Hillary on the ticket, you will get Bill Clinton running amok.

8. That would be my guess.
Or Biden. I'd love to see either one of them in a VP debate against Huckabible if he is the VP choice.

11. I think webb would create real problems for the republicans in the south
and rural areas but Biden would be a better president if something happened to Obama

6. None of them.
Edwards-Switzer would win, and probably only that one.

7. MN poll McCain 54.6% Obama 45.4%, MN has ALWAYS voted for the democrat
and with the republican convention held in MN... we don't need this match-up!

30. You'd better get use to poll numbers like this.
And keep a bottle of something with some kick to it for election night, because you will probably need it. Once again Democrats have painted themselves into a corner with a misguided sense of priorities. Presidential elections are not the vehicle to demonstrate to the world that the Democratic Party is politically correct, as if the rest of the world cares about that. There was no margin for error in this election, and Democrats, with an insipid, self-defeating, sense of over-confidence, jumped into their primaries determined to show the world how hip they are by supporting an African American with very little experience and zero foreign policy experience, and a woman who is much detested throughout the country. They figured they had the wiggle room to get bold. After all, who would vote Republican after Bush? They figured wrong and now thousands of innocent people, particularly in Iraq along with our soldiers, will die and global warming will continue unabated because of Democrats' arrogance and myopic self-centeredness. If the Democrats felt at a disadvantage over the last 30 years or so, they ain't seen nothing yet. They just effectively chopped the Party in half. I guess we deserve it.

10. Edwards-Webb . . . . . . . .



Two strong populists that would both crush the Republicans, and overwhelmingly carry independents.

And in office they would have the backbone to stand up to corporate interests.

Here's Webb's op-ed in the Wall Street Journal 2 weeks after his election:

18. It's interesting that a ticket including WEBB has enough COMMENTS to be in the top 3 without even...


being included in your options.

For some reason you listed "Clinton/Webb" as an option but not "Obama/Webb" (which has many supportive comments), and not options with Edwards at the top.

27. No worries. An Obama-Biden ticket can still happen
and that IMO would be pretty damn spectacular.
