[one...two...tree 2,762]

The morning after reviving her candidacy with two big primary wins, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) hinted Wednesday that she and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) may wind up as ticket mates.

“That may, you know, be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who’s on the top of ticket,” Clinton said with a laugh on the CBS's “The Early Show.” “I think that the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."

She only gained 12 delegates from yesterday and there are some delegates yet to be counted for. I wonder, why she is even mentioning a ticket with Obama.

Spin... all spin. If anything it should be the other way around. With the exception of Penn, she is likely to gain very little if anything in the last remaining primaries. And any lead she might get out of Penn, could be lost with Obama winning most of the other primaries.

Whoever would be at the 'top of the ticket', it'd be an unbeatable one.

Whoever would be at the 'top of the ticket', it'd be an unbeatable one.

If it happened I think they could win, but it would be a big pissing contest to see who gets the top spot.

Well, yes and no.

It would solidify the Dem base around one ticket, so the fight could be focused on November.

But Hillary has attacked Obama so much, that it would look like a joke. She would have to reconcile her attacks.

While most of the Democratic base would support Hillary or Obama, Simply having Hillary on the ticket might push away some Independents and Republicans who would vote for Obama and not Hillary.

Overall, in my opinion, Obama-Hillary ticket would probably be stronger than Hillary-Obama ticket.

It is exactly what I think. I don't think Obama-Hillary ticket will be a good one. Obama-Richardson, Obama-Sebilius would be good. If Hillary is the nominee, it will be a very tough contest against McCain.

If he really wants to stand by his cross party leadership rhetoric, he should choose a moderate Republican to be VP. Unless the party rules prevent that or something.

But if he did, I think November would likely be a forgone conclusion.

He would never take her on as VP.

I think this was a hint that she would take him. Would he do it though? Doubt it. It would be unbeatable though.

She has attacked Obama on all things presidential. If she takes him as her running mate, she is going to have to defend him on the same attacks she has made. She would also have to support him, in the case that during presidency she has to suceed power to the VP.

If she wants to make it work, she has to change the direction and style of her campaign, otherwise its just a empty promise.

Yes, that is on his mind too. He might try to lure Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska or Indiana Senator Richard Lugar. But the question is, if either of them would agree. Personally, I like Chuck Hagel.

I agree....and she won't change the direction and style because yesterday's outcome shows it works to a degree. Just like a seasoned defense attorney, all she's got to do is instill enough doubt in the voters' minds that maybe Obama isn't who he says he is. Obama is going to have to go negative too, but it's got to come from operatives outside of his campaign.

Why can't he do it? It's part of web of deceit like Canada....

I heard her say that about winning Ohio today on the news. I couldn't believe it, I've heard of tooting your own horn but please......

Of course it would be deceitful, but Hillary's strategy has shown that deceitfulness can instill enough doubt in voter's minds about her opponent. Politics as usual.
