2008 flashback: Hillary suggests Obama should be her VP

[Bjorn Against]

Here is an article from 2008 that I thought seemed very relevant in light of the recent debate...

Obama Rejects Being Clinton's No. 2
(CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama flatly rejected suggestions Monday he would be a vice presidential running mate for Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Clinton, Obama's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, and her husband, former President Clinton, have suggested a joint Clinton-Obama ticket -- with Obama in the second slot.

President Clinton Saturday suggested a Clinton-Obama ticket would be "unstoppable."

"He would win the urban areas and the upscale voters. She would win the rural areas that we lost when President Reagan was president," he said while campaigning in Pass Christian, Mississippi. "If you put those two things together, you'd have an almost unstoppable force."

1. Still a good idea after eight years.

Stranger things have happened.

2. Unless you mean Michelle, that can't happen constitutionally.

3. That's different for...reasons! Absurd, patently dishonest, and tortured reasons.
