is it going to be an Obama/Clinton ticket?

**rideit** · 01-18-2008, 03:37 PM

I think this might be inevitable....who would be on top?
Remember Kerry-Edwards before they became Kerry/Edwards?

I am just calling this from the sidelines, I have no pony in this years race.

**Tye 1on** · 01-18-2008, 03:39 PM

no......
if anything, i'd lean more toward Richardson as a veep.

If Obama wants to sleep at night, Hillary would not be a great choice.

**rideit** · 01-18-2008, 03:41 PM

Is Hillary playing nicey-nice with anyone, currently?
How about Obama?

**RootSkier** · 01-18-2008, 03:47 PM

This question is retarded. Hillary and Obama will not share a ticket.

I am still pushing for a Oprah/Willie Nelson ticket.
They would slay it.

Beechcraft Starship. It's about 10-15 years old. Beech built them based on a Rutan design. It was wildly unsuccessful. Corporate types are notoriously conservative + several jets could run rings around it.

Beech stopped production after around 20 were made and then ended up buying most of them back and destroying them to limit liability and eliminate service headaches.

I think one guy held on to his and bought a few others for parts and is still flying it.

I based my little Grumman AA1 at PNE (Phila.,northeast) and a guy would fly in with one once or twice a month.It's just an incredible aircraft

Sweet...

Yeah, bet the noise is like the Avanti, but 4 times louder.

Your aa1 look like this?
same color?

Rideit i'd tell ya sorry for the threadjack if i was

**rideit** · 01-18-2008, 04:20 PM

the planes are sexier....

**lifts4turns** · 01-18-2008, 04:59 PM

My money is still on Obama - Edwards. I think the democrats will want to pair a more traditional candidate with Obama and Edwards was sucking up during the last debate.

**rideit** · 01-18-2008, 05:08 PM

Who do you have in mind, schindler?

Both parties are just SOOO fractured....

**summit** · 01-18-2008, 05:13 PM

Nothing scarier than a Vice President named Clark... especially if he ends up on a ticket with a female president.

Obama and Hilary will not share a ticket; it just wouldn't make any sense. Hilary has done nothing but ride Obama for having too little experience, and Obama slags Hilary for being a Washington insider. Either one is going to be looking to pick up some foreign experience / military credentials. Look for Biden to become prominent soon. Very senior Senator and chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations. As for McCain, I wouldn't be shocked if he tabs Lieberman. If its Romney, then God help us all.

**rideit** · 01-18-2008, 05:50 PM

Good point.
They both need a little 'gravitas'....
How about an Obama/McCain independent ticket?

HOLY SHIT!!!!! That is the exact duplicate of the one I owned.
Mine was 9346L mfg date in 1971. Mine was the 500th made.

Where was that photo taken?

I have to dig up some pics and post them

**stupendous man** · 01-18-2008, 05:54 PM

How could liberman or edwards want to play second fiddle again? I just don't see it.

Neither for Biden, he gives up too much power - its a demotion.

Richardson, Vilsack or Clark have the best chance. Clark already is a hillary supporter I think. Definitely not two senators on the same ticket. Except that someone mentioned obama - hagel. that would be interesting, but hagel is a repub douche at the core.

**rideit** · 01-18-2008, 05:59 PM

Nope...I gave up after the last round.
(But I know that the MCain/Obama quip was a patently absurdist suggestion)

Kinda like the Tour De France...just too much bullshit.

**jon turner** · 01-18-2008, 06:43 PM

I don't think Obama/Clinton is a good idea, but I think Obama/Edwards would be pretty solid - assuming Edwards would want to run as VP again.

**GapersGoHome** · 01-18-2008, 06:55 PM

I think Obama/Dodd would work out wonderfully.

Obama is going to need a strong VP that has a military/foreign policy background in addition to someone that projects experience.(Obama has the race factor and "inexperience" meme to deal with.) Edwards would help with the south but too many people distrust him because of his tort law background.

If it was Edwards/Obama it might be different. But your still left with a team of senators.
