Clinton now pimping the shared ticket meme
She knows the math is not in her favor so now she's stooped to the dirtiest trick of all: Force Obama's hand in the likely event that she can't strongarm the superdelegates into ignoring Democracy and handing her the nomination. Either way she ensures that her name is on the ticket.

6. she has a funny way of trying to get into his good graces.
"Shame on you, Barack Obama!"

"The sky will open, the light will come down..."

"Of course he is...as far as I know..."

"Meet me in Ohio!!!"

"...maybe we should ask Barack if he needs a pillow..."

11. It's all politics!
I would love to see Hillary/Obama or Obama/Hillary. It may take both of them to help get this country out of the disaster it is in now. If that is what it takes to keep McCain out of office so be it.

8. I would love to see Obama on the winning ticket in 2008, 2012 and 2016!
Hillary only needs 4 years to fix the economy and healthcare.

After all - she does work all day and all night! B-)

17. As an Obama voter, I would go for a HRC/Obama to get this over with
McCain will begin his campaign while the Dems continue to duke it out. I was an Edwards supporter until he dropped out, and I ended up voting for Obama in our Utah primary. Niether Obama nor Hillary are Loved a great deal by me. And lets face it. We don't have a crystal ball here to know who will end up being the better POTUS, but the way Hillary is bashing Obama, she will only make him less electible in a general election. I know it sucks. I am angry at Hillary for what she's doing, but if we don't get a nominee ASAP, we could be in trouble. For this reason, I would be OK with Obama joining Hillary on her ticket. Not what I like, but I think nessesary. After all, Obama is still young, and if he shows us that he's good at VP, then we can expect him to run for president again with all kinds of experience to back him up. Just my thoughts.

Not her style.

25. “But of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket."
"I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me."

What better way to say you've got a mandate to privatize social security like the dlc has been (quietly)promoting since 2005?

28. Obama would be a fool to be marginalized in her administration.
She'd just trot him out from time to time as her "boy," like Bush did with Powell.

30. Using a word like "pimping" in conjunction with Hillary Clinton
disparages pimps everywhere. Don't stoop so low.
