Democratic Dream Team in the Works?



Nomination Endgame Fuels Behind the Scenes Push for Obama-Clinton Ticket

With pressure growing on Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., to end her presidential campaign, "intermediaries" have resumed discussing the possibility of an Obama-Clinton "dream team" ticket.

"I think it's very much a possibility and there are others around Sen. Clinton, other top Democrats who think the strongest ticket would be a joint ticket," George Stephanopoulos, ABC News' chief Washington correspondent, said Monday on "Good Morning America."


The dream team ticket was discussed earlier this year, but fell by the wayside as both sides ramped up the rhetoric against each other, intensifying their battle for the Democratic nomination.

The talk has revived as Clinton now looks like an ultra-long shot for the presidential nomination, and her disappointed supporters are threatening to vote for presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., instead of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.

"There are intermediaries discussing this very scenario," Stephanopoulos said on "GMA".

ABC News: Obama-Clinton Ticket Under Discussion

Impossible? I'm not so sure..granted,the very idea of an Obama/Clinton "Dream Team" poses some interesting problems.Would Obama welcome not one but two VP's? With Hill you also get Bill,the two for the price of one may not be an attractive proposition for Obama.Still,McCain would have a tough go of it if the dream team were to materialize.In this crazy election cycle,I'm beginning to believe anything is possible! The dream team would also solve the MI/FL delegates issue,they could all be seated!
