Obama has no option Hillary has to be on the ticket.

Forty-seven years ago, my grandfather Dwight D. Eisenhower bid farewell to a nation he had served for more than five decades. In his televised address, Ike famously coined the term "military-industrial complex," and he offered advice that is still relevant today. "As we peer into society's future," he said, we "must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow."
...
The biggest barrier to rolling up our sleeves and preparing for a better future is our own apathy, fear or immobility. We have been living in a zero-sum political environment where all heads have been lowered to avert being lopped off by angry, noisy extremists. I am convinced that Barack Obama is the one presidential candidate today who can encourage ordinary Americans to stand straight again; he is a man who can salve our national wounds and both inspire and pursue genuine bipartisan cooperation. Just as important, Obama can assure the world and Americans that this great nation's impulses are still free, open, fair and broad-minded.
...
It is in this great tradition of crossover voters that I support Barack Obama's candidacy for president. If the Democratic Party chooses Obama as its candidate, this lifelong Republican will work to get him elected and encourage him to seek strategic solutions to meet America's greatest challenges. To be successful, our president will need bipartisan help.

Given Obama's support among young people, I believe that he will be most invested in defending the interests of these rising generations and, therefore, the long-term interests of this nation as a whole. Without his leadership, our children and grandchildren are at risk of growing older in a marginalized country that is left to its anger and divisions. Such an outcome would be an unacceptable legacy for any great nation.

DENVER - Maybe it’s his background teaching constitutional law. If elected president, Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama said one of the first things he wants to do is ensure the constitutionality of all the laws and executive orders passed while Republican President George W. Bush has been in office.

Those that don’t pass muster will be overturned, he said.

During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama — a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office.

“I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution,” said Obama.

Top New Hampshire Story: Harvard Professor Stumps For Obama
By Eric Kleefeld - November 14, 2007, 11:07AM

Here's today's key story out of the New Hampshire local press: The Concord Monitor ("Law expert: Obama will preserve Constitution") reports that Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe went campaigning in New Hampshire yesterday for his old student, Barack Obama. Tribe will also be making some more campaign stops today, in a sign that the Obama campaign is moving to solidify their base with more affluent, educated voters even as Obama himself is reaching out to the working class.
...
Both President Bush and Vice President Cheney have committed impeachable offenses, he said, and repeatedly have disregarded the Constitution. The president has used his authority to violate the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to eavesdrop on any conversation with an international component, has denied access to court and lawyers to those detained in Guantanamo, frequently uses executive power to violate acts of Congress when they interfere with his prerogatives and has screened those who disagree with him out of public rallies, Tribe said.
...
Tribe called Obama the "best student I ever had" and the "most exciting research assistant"...also talked about the issue of judicial appointments. "The next president won't be in a position to make this a liberal court, but he can prevent it from becoming reactionary and moving to unreviewable executive power," Tribe said, adding that Obama shares his views on Constitutional law.
