you do realise huckabee withdrew from the campaign months ago right? and that McCain is the unofficial winner of the republican nomination?Garygaz said:tl;dr Hillary Clinton is going to cause Obama to lose momentum he needs for the General Election and even if a god forsaken miracle happened and she won, she wouldn't beat Huckabee.

I agree, Obama probably cannot win without Clinton, her numbers in crucial states are too strong for her to be ignored. However, what are the odds of these two forming a ticket? Sure, it isn't unheard of two bitter enemies forming a strong ticket, like Kennedy and Johnson, but a number in the Democratic Leadership are talking down such a ticket (maybe for their own ambitions) and I am sure some of this mud throwing has left some big stains that neither of the two camps are happy about. On VP's, who will McCain pick? Crist? Romney? Huckabee? Leiberman? He probably needs someone to boost his economic and conservative credentials.Iron said:Yeah, she's clearly planning to get out. This is saving face, strengthening her bid for another shot, and pressuring Obama to take her as VP.
It's clear that Obama wont win the working class against McCain. It's questionable whether he can win all the crucial big swing states she's won too.
Frankly, I doubt that he can beat McCain without her.
Johnson was twice the president Kennedy was. Medicare, Medicaid, the Civil Rights Act - no doubt Vietnam was a giant cock-up, but don't forget that Kennedy was the one who began sending troops there. Plus Truman was behind the disaster that was Korea, yet nobody's going to declare him no good.Iron said:II think theyll keep off the JFK-LBJ comparison (JFK was awesome, but was um assasinated, and LBJ was experienced, conservative, but um sort of had a mental breakdown during war)

The campaign, citing figures from Duane Bray, battalion chief of Portland Fire & Rescue, estimated that 75,000 people are watching him speak.
