Dream ticket? Um, think again ...
Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 06:47AM The New York Times speculates about the idea of an Obama-Clinton/Clinton-Obama ticket.
While it would certainly help heal the wounds from the primary, it's about as likely as Yankees owner Hank Steinbrenner joining Red Sox Nation.
To be sure, political opponents have run together and faired well: JFK and LBJ didn't get along, and Johnson and Humphrey didn't even agree on the Vietnam War. And in 2004, it was no secret that John Kerry and John Edwards weren't the chummiest buddies, either.
But for pure animus and venom, nothing comes close to this campaign. There is way too much bridge under the water to make a "dream ticket" even remotely plausible. And in the unlikely scenario it would be Hillary-Obama, do you think Obama wants to play third fiddle to Bill Clinton?
