Why is there even a QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is the slam dunk ticket to Obama's election. How come there's even a question, does'nt Obamas advisers look at all the screaming stats, that prove Hillary will guarranty him a win!!!! If he does not chose Clinton, there's something very wrong with the political picture?!?!?

Hillary

If the Democrats want to be assured of taking back the White House in January, it is my opinion Obama needs to pick Hillary as his running mate. There are still too many folks unhappy that Hillary didn't get the nomination and without her on the ticket I think there is a good chance McCain will win in November. I think an Obama/Clinton ticket would be unstoppable!!!

If Obama picks Hillary Clinton the democrats will have an unbeatable combination and the U.S. will have a dynamite pluralistic image to teach the world what the United States is all about and forget about business without competition which is killing all of us.........cordially ,Steve
