I was just about to post this same story, but saw you beat me to it. Here's my commentary part of my diary that will never be posted:
It's nice to hear Bill making such positive and enthusiastic statements about the Obama campaign. And I'm especially intrigued by Bill saying, "he said he wanted me to campaign with him" (not for him).
Could this be another indication of a possible Obama/Clinton ticket? I don't know. It's certainly an indication that the Obamas and Clintons are working together and talking a bit more than we previously thought. And it seems to be part of a steady stream of articles linking them together which seems like a strategy to ease the American public into this idea.
What I do know for certain is this is good news for the Democratic party. When the Big Dog barks, Democrats pay attention.
"It's certainly an indication that the Obamas and Clintons are working together..."
They have to. Both sides need each other.
I always knew Bill would come around.
Keeping him off the campaign trail. Yeah, right.
No one loves campaign more then the Big Dog.
And, I really DO hope both sides seriously consider the joint ticket.
Sure, it has it's issues, but, it sure would be fun to watch Senator Clinton debate the VP Candidate RIGHT AFTER Obama makes McCain look the the absent-minded dodo he seems to be more and more?
Can you imagine Mittens have to debate Hillary?
Jesus, he might call in sick instead of showing up.
on the idea of H Clinton on the ticket, and frankly think the negatives and positives balance out so don't care one way or the other. If she is I can support it with gusto, if she is not I can completely understand it.
I do not think we can read the tea leaves and make an accurate prediction as to whether or not it is in the works as of now. So I humbly counsel patience until we hear directly from Obama who the Vp will be. It will piss off some, and delight others, whomever it is.
As to B Clinton campaigning with Obama, I think that is so people can visually equate the two together in areas where Clinton does well. Put them on the same stage in AR, WV, KY, MO, TN, FL, LA. Basic psychology, visual and emotional transference.
Richardson in the SW, Edwards in the Mid Atlantic/Appalachia, H. Clinton in the NE and Midwest, B. Clinton Midwest (southern vertical corridor) and Appalachia + FL. Now needs a powerful surrogate/s for the West, NW and Central Plains/Mountains.
I tell ya, it could be a rout
Good catch, that is very interesting indeed.
