A Clinton-Obama Ticket? Yes, Please!
So it looks like one of Senator Clinton's top advisor suggested that Obama would make a great running mate should she win the nomination (via the CNN Political Ticker). What would a Clinton/Obama ticket look like? What would it do?
Even now, as a 21-year-old woman who has almost completed her Bachelors degree in Women's Studies, my mind is blown. I've followed presidential politics since '92 (when I decided that Bill Clinton was way cuter than George Bush, and that's why I would vote for him in the elementary school mock-elections) and still am just thrilled to see that the two most viable contenders for the Democratic nomination are not white dudes. Thrilled. Obviously, one of these two individuals will get the nomination. I can't wait to see if they will pick one another for a running mate, or if they will go a bit more traditional (John Edwards?) to pull in moderate voters who may not be so crazy about breaking the mold completely.
