Clinton Hints At Joint Ticket With Obama

Democratic Race Goes On After Big Wins For Clinton In Texas And Ohio

(CBS/AP)  Hillary Rodham Clinton, fresh off a campaign-saving comeback, hinted on CBS News'The Early Show Wednesday at the possibility of sharing the Democratic presidential ticket with Barack Obama - with her at the top. Obama played down his losses, stressing that he still holds the lead in number of delegates.

On The Early Show, co-anchor Harry Smith said to Clinton, "We talked to a lot of people in Ohio who said there really isn't that significant a difference between you two, and they'd like to see you both on the ticket."

"Well, that may, you know, be where this is headed," Clinton said. "But of course, we have to decide who's on the top of the ticket, and I think that the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."

When asked about Clinton's comments, Obama said he was focused on winning the nomination and that it was "premature" to start talking about a joint ticket, reports CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic.

"You know we are just focused on winning this nomination," Obama said. "That's my focus. And you know I've said before I respect Senator Clinton as a public servant, ah - she’s a tenacious opponent. I think it is very premature to start talking about a joint ticket."

On a night that failed to clarify the Democratic race, CBS News projected Republican Sen. John McCain had clinched the Republican nomination for president, securing more than the 1,191 delegates needed. McCain had 1,205 delegates while Huckabee had 231. Click here for the latest state-by-state tally.

"It's a very humbling thing, and I say that with all sincerity," McCain said of finally securing the nomination.

McCain won Republican primaries Tuesday in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island by large margins.

Clinton won primaries in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, halting Obama's winning streak. Obama won in Vermont.

Clinton's three triumphs ended a month of defeats for the former first lady, and she told jubilant supporters in Columbus, Ohio, "We're going on, we're going strong and we're going all the way." (Watch Clinton video.)

Obama sought to counter Clinton's claims that the night had been a campaign-altering event. "We have nearly the same delegate lead as we did this morning and we are on our way to winning this nomination," he told supporters in San Antonio, Texas. (Watch Obama video.)

"Coming into the night, Clinton faced the prospect of increased pressure from within the party to rethink her commitment to the campaign if she failed to win both Ohio and Texas," said CBSNews.com senior political editor Vaughn Ververs. "After winning three of four primary contests, who's going to call on her to drop out now?"

Ohio Results
Texas Results

"This race appears likely to go at least to the Pennsylvania primary, almost seven weeks from now," said Ververs. "That is a long time and plenty can happen between now and then to change the dynamics of the race even further." (Read more analysis from Ververs.)

Both Democrats insisted on Wednesday they had the best credentials to go head to head - or as Clinton put it "toe to toe" - against McCain.

In Texas, with all precincts reporting, Clinton led Obama 51 percent to 48 percent. With 100 percent of precincts reporting in Ohio, Clinton led 54 percent to 44 percent. With 98 percent in Rhode Island, Clinton led 58 percent to 40 percent. And in Vermont, Obama led 59 percent to 39 percent with 93 percent in.

Texas Democrats also held caucuses on Tuesday night, which will allocate 35 percent of the state's delegates, but final results were not expected until later Wednesday. An early count by CBS News showed Obama with a slight lead; 52 percent to 48 percent with just 36 percent of the votes in. It was too early and the margin too close for CBS to project a winner in the caucuses.

According to the latest CBS News estimate, Obama still leads in the overall delegate count, 1,541 to 1,438. See the latest state-by-state tally.

It takes 2,025 delegates to win the Democratic nomination, and slightly more than 600 remained to be picked in the 10 states yet to vote.

Either way she is done. if not now then she will be humiliated by the republicans-she wont go past them so our nominee is Barack Obama

All he has to do after Clinton is out of his way is to have a MAJOR news conference and explain everything honestly and he will win because Maccain will have nothing to go aganist him. i believe it was Clintons tactic to make him stumble but it has not worked, just as she tried to engage him into her cheap negative debates. Obama is smart and he will be our next President
OBAMA 08!!!

"Obama campaign manager David Pollute called Tuesday . . . "

Is that what the press does for fun - give ''pet names'' to the candidates'' campaign aides? I''ll bet Hillary''s is Mark Pinn-head, or something like that.

Whoops - not a good idea to ever put that kind of stuff in drafts though, especially stuff that doesn''t show up in spell-check . . .

[samthetvcat]

The Suffolk University poll publishes the actual poll questions they ask voters, and in Ohio where they show Hillary with over a 10% lead over Barack, they also asked:

---"Regardless of who you personally support, who do you believe will be the next President of the United States - Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John
McCain?"---

For that question Barack leads Hillary by 9%. Now why on earth would people vote for somebody they don''t think is likely to win? Is it just an underdog thing? A sympathy vote? Do they want to let Barack know that they''ll vote for him in November, but they didn''t leave them feeling too reassured that they''re going to see improvements in Ohio and they''re still worried?

I think it''s the latter . . . I''d be interested to hear whether people in Ohio who vote for her really want to see this fight continue all for the next 3 months, and whether they really want Hillary to try and convince Superdelegates to go against the public vote, etc. Florida and Michigan are bound to be a lot closer in a revote with John Edwards out of the contest and with Barack''s name actually on the ballot.

[smartprimate]

It ain''t over until the fat lady sings... in Puerto Rico! Hill will win at least Ohio and Rhode Island, she may win the popular vote in Texas but lose in deligates. That will give her enough of an incentive to stay until the end.

Break out the popcorn, this is going an election to remember - and it''s not even the GE yet! This may make the 2000 election pale in comparison in terms of the twists and turns.

Here''s what George Will wrote:

"The president who came to office with the most glittering array of experiences had served 10 years in the House of Representatives, then became minister to Russia, then served 10 years in the Senate, then four years as secretary of state (during a war that enlarged the nation by 33 percent), then was minister to Britain. Then, in 1856, James Buchanan was elected president and in just one term secured a strong claim to being ranked as America''s worst president. Abraham Lincoln, the inexperienced former one-term congressman, had an easy act to follow."

And here''s how Hillary handles her campaign, and probably everything else - with a lack of vision, strategy, and judgment:

__"Nearly $100,000 went for party platters and groceries before the Iowa caucuses... Rooms at the Bellagio luxury hotel in Las Vegas consumed more than $25,000... And top consultants collected about $5 million in January, a month of crucial expenses and tough fund-raising. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton"s latest campaign finance report, published Wednesday night, appeared even to her most stalwart supporters and donors to be a road map of her political and management failings. Several of them, echoing political analysts, expressed concerns that Mrs. Clinton"s spending priorities amounted to costly errors in judgment that have hamstrung her competitiveness against Senator Barack Obama of Illinois."

Now meet Maggie Williams, Hillary Clinton''s new campaign manager:

%u201CFor an idealist like Maggie Williams, maybe the first lady was the embodiment of the mission, the only means at hand through which the ends she believed in could be achieved. But one thing led to another. And allegations that she removed Vince Foster''s files were followed by allegations that she sold access to Johnny Chung%u2026%u201D

"... As the first woman with a serious chance to lead the nation, it''s a way for her to demonstrate how she fought to improve the lives of families and children...

But there is a little-known episode Clinton doesn''t mention in her standard campaign speech in which those two principles collided. In 1975, a 27-year-old Hillary Rodham, acting as a court-appointed attorney, attacked the credibility of a 12-year-old girl in mounting an aggressive defense for an indigent client accused of rape in Arkansas - using her child development background to help the defendant.

But the record shows that Rodham was also intent on questioning the girl''s credibility. That line of defense crystallized in a July 28, 1975, affidavit requesting the girl undergo a psychiatric examination at the university''s clinic.

I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and to engage in fantasizing," wrote Rodham, without referring to the source of that allegation. "I have also been informed that she has in the past made false accusations about persons, claiming they had attacked her body."

THE OBAMA CAMP SUPPORTERS (ATTACK DOGS) ARE MAKING THEIR CAMPAIGN SPEACHES THIS MORNING. A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO BLAST THAT EVIL, WICKED *** HILLARY. AND SUPPORT THEIR HONEST, HONORABLE, WISE, INNOCENT, AND DREAM GUY CANDIDATE.

THE ONE THAT LIED ABOUT NAFTA GATE.

THE ONE THAT RECIEVED $270,000 FROM EMPLOYEES AND OFFICIALS OF EXELON, FOR HIS PRESIDENTIAL AND SENATE CAMPAIGNS.
THE ONE THAT HAS NOT HELD ONE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTIEE MEETING ON AFGHANISTAN. WHILE OUR TROOPS ARE DYING IN THE REAL WAR ON TERROR IN AFGHANISTAN.
THE ONE THAT, IS ASSOCIATED WITH A CHURCH, SELF PROCLAIMED "UNASHAMEDLY BLACK" WITH AN EMPHISIS ON AFRICAN CULTURS, AND HAS BEEN CALLED SEPRATIST, RACIST AND ANTI ISRAEL. THE PASTOR HAS SAID, "RACISM IS HOW THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED AND HOW THIS COUNTRY IS STILL RUN."
THE ONE THAT HAS USE SEXIST REMARKS AGAINST CLINTON, WHO HAS FOUGHT FOR YEARS AGINIST SEXIST, AND DISCRIMATION AGAINST WOMEN. AND HAS ALSO FOUGHT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN FOR YEARS. SHE HAS FOUGHT FOR HEALTH INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN, FOR YEARS.

BUT HEY! OBAMA SAID HE IS AGAINST THE WAR IN IRAQ. BUT OF COURSE WAS NOT IN THE SENATE WHEN THE FAMOUS "VOTE" ON THE WAR, TOOK PLACE. ANYBODY CAN CLAIM THEY ARE AGIANST SOMETHING IF THEY DON''T HAVE TO GO ON RECORD AND VOTE FOR IT.

Good lord those two are frightening. They epitomize the rapid decline of this once great nation.

[user168-2009]

~ A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader; a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves. ~

So says Obama: "It''s only when you hitch yourself up to something bigger than yourself that you realize your true potential."

~ A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don''t necessarily want to go, but ought to be. ~

So says Obama: "There is not a liberal America and a conservative America. There is the United States of America."

~ If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. ~

So says Obama: "Our individual salvation depends on collective salvation."

~ One man with courage makes a majority. ~

So says Obama: "What''s hard, what''s risky, what''s truly audacious, is to hope."

~ I must follow the people. Am I not their leader? ~

So says Obama: "If you feel good about me, there''s a whole lot of young men out there who could be me if given the chance."

~ Take a leap of faith with me. ~ Obama

Ironically, Bill Clinton may have said it best four years ago, comparing John Kerry to George W. Bush: %u201CIf one candidate%u2019s trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to get you to think; if one candidate is appealing to your fears, and the other one%u2019s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think, and hope.%u201D

[formrusmcsgt]

"...noting that "enormous leads" she enjoyed as recently as two weeks ago had dwindled or evaporated."

Hillary has lost 11 straight primaries, has seen her one-time lead in today''s states evaporate, and yet claims that momentum is on her side.

Delusional.

[pensacola88]

Voters in Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island should remember that lobbyists and polical action committees have invested heavily in Hillary Clinton and expect a return on their investment. If she wins, they will get it at the expense of the livelihoods of the voters.

Barak Obama doe not have any political favors to return to any special interest groups. If you want hope for a counry whose president puts voters first, Barack Obama is your man.

Health Care is one of the most profitable industries in this nation. Even if universal health care became a reality, the opportunity is wide open for it to be legislated corruptly when the chief advocate - Hillary Clinton was accepted PAC and Special Interest money from this powerhouse.

Republicans want Hillary Clinton, Democrats want Barack Obama. There is more dirt on Hillary for the Republicans to use on the campaign in November.

I would like to think so as well, but highly doubt it.

Even if Obama sweeps today, the Clinton machine will argue that she won the biggest states and deserves to be the nominee.

I think she''s determined to be the nominee by hook or by crook....

[craigh9]

It''s 3:00 AM, your children are asleep - but somewhere a phone rings - and Hillary Clinton answers. It''s wednesday morning and its Howard Dean stating that since she lost Vermont, Rhode Island, Texas, and basically tied in Ohio it is time for her to drop out of the race, to do the right thing so the party can rally around a single candidate and focus on beating the Republicians in November. You hope you have the right person to make the right decision on the line, after all its suppose to be about what''s good for the country - but it''s Hillary - "No way Howard, I will be the next Democratic President - even if I have to drag the party down for years to come to make it so - it''s my god given right to be President and I will, if not in 2008, then 2012, or 2016, or maybe 2020........................"

Good post.

What I find most amazing about these primaries is that we''ve suffered through 7 years of a president who is completely full of himself and cares not what his constitutents want and still so many are supporting a woman who is as obviously full of herself as Dubya is.

Hillary has no humility whatsoever.

Don''t be naive. No politician of either party truly gives a bleep about putting the voters first. And Obama is a product of Chicago politics. Nobody gets through the rough-and-tumble of Chicago politics without having gotten at least a little bit dirty. The Rezko thing is one example.

[radiob-2009]

Tony Rezko was a friend and supporter of mine for many years. These charges are completely unrelated to me, and nobody disputes that,"


What is clear is a poor judgement of character in regards to Rezko at minimium. Add in the comments about NAFTA being nothing more than "a campaign slogan" and all of the PAC money that Obama has accepted along with his 130 present votes. His knowledge of the law yet total disregard for the rulings of the law in regards to torture and eavesdropping. What is left is another snake oil salesman.

[realpatriot1]

Pensacola88/richnj1,

You''re both right. Obama couldn''t rise in politics in Chicago or elsewhere without cutting at least some ethical corners. It''s a matter of degree where some politicians do as much as they have to do to further themselves and their agenda while others go all in and grab every bit that they can.

The difference with Obama and the point pensacola is making is that he won''t be beholding to special interests for cash for his next campaign.

2 factors fuel the corruption in politics, the need for money to get elected the first time and the need for money to get re-elected.

Obama needed the influence peddlers like Rezco when he was starting out but now he''s on the brink of election with 95% or so of the money coming from small donors. That network plus the power of the Presidency would mean that he could govern without the blessing of fat cats while seeking re-election.

That''s what it will take for a President to push reform hard. Only an active push from the President will ever goad Congress into enacting real reform.

McCain is commited to reform to a point but will still need to answer to the special interests. Even if he has it in his mind that he=''s going to be a one termer he''ll have to play the game like he''s running again or he''ll be a lameduck at inauguration.

[taotxzen]

Now there can be only one purpose in trying to control the tally of votes under circumstances in which a campaign knows it''s outnumbered, that it will lose an honest counting of the votes: to alter the true vote. To cheat. To steal. To suppress the votes of Texas caucus attendees and subvert the caucus process.

The phrase, "if our supporters are outnumbered," means, in simpler language, "If we lose the vote, take control of the vote tally and change the numbers."

Place this alongside the Clinton campaign threats to challenge the Texas caucuses and you get a full picture of what Clinton is up to: disrupt the caucuses at all costs. Steal votes, delay the reporting of honest vote totals, throw the process into chaos, do whatever it takes.

[taotxzen]

Clinton Caucus Disruption/Vote Suppression

by: Glenn Smith
Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:06 PM CST

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Clinton campaign training materials regarding Tuesday night''s caucuses ominously advise supporters to take control of caucus sign-in sheets and vote tallies especially "if our supporters are outnumbered."

[Clinton caucus training material] goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serves as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness.

"The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions."

(cont)

[vet_sk]

It is time to get everyone we know to the polls and vote Obama. That is clearly the only chance the United States has to get back up on step again. You think Hillary is going to lead the world, please. I know a few women who would be excellent leaders, but Hillary is not one of them. She would be just another corporate lawyer if it were not for Bill. I can''t believe all the women supporting her because she is a woman while she is there because of her husband.

[jesterbelle]

What I find most amazing about these primaries is that we''''ve suffered through 7 years of a president who is completely full of himself and cares not what his constitutents want and still so many are supporting a woman who is as obviously full of herself as Dubya is.

What gets me is how alot of the people that push her on here act as if Obama supporters are religious fanatics under some kind of spell.They''ll parrot some baloney she''s pushed in a rally,and like the "moonies",no amount of reasoning can change their minds.They overlook the fact that there is no way she can win the delegate count,and hope for some kind of miracle to pull her out of the fire.They are very un-realistic,and if anyone fits the term fanatic,it is these people.The "Hillary Krishnas" have no room to talk.

[expatfamily]

Sen. Hillary Clinton will never get my family''s vote. As lifelong Democrats, we are sickened by Sen. Clinton''s scare tactics and her sleazy politics. Her praise of John McCain at the expense of Barack Obama has sealed the deal. Here she is in all her glory:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou4JnWQsxKw
Mark it down: three Democrats who will vote a straight Democrat party line, but abstain from supporting someone who will do anything to win, even destroy her fellow Democrats.
Hopefully, the country will never have to suffer through another Clinton "experience."

Posted by Pensacola88

There is a lot of truth in that statement. The Republicans have spent at least the last 4 years getting ready for a Hillary run and the play book has already been written. I have also read that the Republicans are extremely worried about the amount of Money Obama is raising and about the fact that most of it is coming from small donors over the internet.

Excerpt of the Washington Post story on Whitewater:

A fraudulent $300,000 federally backed loan to Susan McDougal, some of which went into Whitewater Development Corp. David Hale, a former Little Rock judge whose company issued the loan, told investigators that Bill Clinton pressured him to do so.
The mysterious disappearance and rediscovery of billing records showing the extent of Hillary Clinton''s legal work for McDougal''s savings and loan. Missing and under subpoena for two years, they turned up in January 1996 in the Clintons'' private quarters at the White House.
The firing of seven members of the White House travel office in 1993, possibly to make room for Clinton friends %u2013 followed by an FBI investigation of the office, allegedly opened under pressure from the White House to justify the firings. Sometimes called "Travelgate."
The 1993 suicide of White House counsel Vincent Foster, hard on the heels of the travel-office imbroglio and his filing of delinquent Whitewater Corp. tax returns.
The collection of hundreds of confidential FBI files on prominent Republicans by a minor White House operative in 1993 and 1994. Sometimes called "Filegate."
The more than $700,000 paid to former associate attorney general Webster L. Hubbell, most of it from friends of President Clinton and Democratic Party supporters, just as the former law partner of Hillary Clinton was coming under intense scrutiny by Whitewater investigators.

I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall of the RNC headquarters when Obama surged to the front.

All of that careful planning, the money invested in preliminary work on 527 ads...straight down the toilet.

I love the fallacy of "conventional wisdom" - but even more importantly, I love the innate wisdom the American people are showing.

[pensacola88]

Formula for corporate wealth = firm creates opportunity and pays lobbyist + political lobbyist makes political campaign contribution to candidate who will likely give their client an advantage.

Said another way:

Record profits for Health Care and Medicine Suppliers = multi-million dollar payments to political lobbyist, who then pays Hillary Clinton for legislation that provides greatest profitable advantage for Health Care Insurer, Providor, and Medicine suppliers and distributors.

Barak Obama has no political favors to return to any Medical Insurer, Health Care providor, or Medicine supplier or distributor. He can give voters the best advantage possible, because he took no PAC or Lobby money for his campaign.

I could not have said it better myself.... I have been on the fence for sometime now. I know without a doubt if either candidate won they will be 100% better than McCain or any other knuckle dragging Republican out there.

But I must say Hillary has stepped over the line in the last month. She has shown her true desire for the power and will do anything to attain it. That includes cheating and if need be seriously hinder the Democrats oppurtunity to win the Presidency in Novemeber.

I see Obama as a man of intigrity and honor, something the office of the Presidency so bably needs. The office has been ashamed and degradated for the past 7 seven years. I jsut do not see Hillary being able to clean it up as she so states it needs to be.

At the end of tonight, if she has not made any clear advances she should quit and do the right thing.

It is interesting to me that the Democratic contest is becoming a test of the moral character of the candidates and the media - and so far as I can tell both Hillary and the Media are showing that they favor deceit and misleading quibbles over truthfulness.
