Clinton for Vice President?

A story on todays news says that the Democratic National Committe believes Gore is probably going to loose unless they make a major change in his campaign. The selection of a "killer" VP candidate is the best idea they have come up with so far. Some members of the DNC suppoosedly are recommending that they run Bill Clinton for Vice President!
 
I believe that is not legal as an accident could have him becoming President. Now Hillary is another proposition.

Ed,

It is Constitutional. The 22 Amendment to the Constitution states only that a person can not be ELECTED more than twice.

It says nothing about serving as V.P. and assuming the duties of the Presidency if something were to happen to the President.

I first heard this at lunch time. Had indigestion all afternoon.
 
THere was a rumor over the weekend that Diane Feinstein was in the running for VP


eeeek!

Strictly speaking, probably not unConstitutional.

(disclaimer: I am NOT making any threats here, Feds)

I don't think Clinton would live long if Gore-Clinton won. I think it would push too many people over the edge. He'd have to borrow that Popemobile thing from the Vatican to appear anywhere in public.
 
I don't know Jack. i would think it more likely that Gore might have a heart attack or something. Surely Gore isn't that trusting of Clinton.
 
I am sure that Gore considers Clinton to be his biggest liablitiy and wishes that he would just shut up.
Actually, Gore is his own biggest liability and cannot now just shut up.
 
Actually I hope that Gore selects Diane Feinstein as his running mate.... then She will be out of the senate race... Campbell wins the Senate... GW wins the presidency and both Gore and Feinstein our left out in the cold.... Well I can dream can't I?

the People or Government.
RKBA!
 
Nah, Gore isn't suicidal enough to put his life between Clinton and 4 more years of power.

Nor, let it be said, is a Supreme court which boycotted Clinton's last State of the Union address, (ALL of them including the Clinton appointees!) likely to rule such a move constitutional.

I think he'll do it. Gore is out of options. Bush has great approval ratings. So does our Philanderer in Chief. Gore does not.

Besides, Bill needs a constant flow of young interns to fondle. And think of all the poon he can get travelling around the world as a dignitary.

Clinton as VP and only a heartbeat away from the presidency? I think that I'm going to be sick. Can I vote twice so that this doesn't happen?

Clinton can legally serve as VP, and then fill in for Gore when Gore suffers an "accident."

There goes my lunch. The very thought of it is . . . is . . . <shudder>.
 
So we'd have the current Administration in reverse.

In the event of the death of both the President and Veep, the Speaker succeeds to the top job.

So what we really need is to get Gore/Clinton in there, and Ron Paul as Speaker of the House. :D
 
Well, this certainly gives one ... excuse the pun ... the 'Willies' ... ;)

But, really, I doubt this. Having said that, I sure wouldn't bet my life on this deal.

This is about as disgusting as a photo of Rosie in spandex ... ;)

Nice dream, but actually, there's no guarantee Feinstein would be out of the Senate race. In 1880, Rep. James Garfield was elected to both the Senate (in Ohio?) and the Presidency. He shoulda stayed in the House...

I hate to tell you this, but Campbell is very very anti-gun. He is a closet liberal.
 
The thought of a Clinton (any Clinton will do) on the Gore ticket resulted in a visual memory of the Dukakis run against Bush, Sr., I believe. I think it was a McNeely cartoon. Anyway, the panel featured a large bomb complete with small propeller in the front and tail fins in the back. The bomb had two cockpits. The first was occupied by Dukakis (I believe he was wearing the same headgear he wore while in the tank). The second cockpit was empty and had a sign posted below it. The sign said, "Co-pilot Wanted."

I think that cartoon is quite appropriate of the Gore campaign. This guy is in trouble which means Bill is in trouble. Remember, Gore wins, Bill walks off unmolested, so to speak. Gore loses and Bill has major problems because no longer will the assets of the federal gov't be used to protect him from his past. Clinton/Clinton/Gore can not lose. If Gore continues his slow-motion crater before the convention look for some drastic move by Clinton 1) to boot out Gore or 2)take over the ticket or 3)figure some way to keep the election from happening or 4)allow the election to happen but keep the next president from assuming power.

Am I paranoid? Given the last 7+ years, what part is impossible.

I wouldn't vote either of these guys in for dog catcher let alone the presidency. I'ts kinda gotten to the point where we are trying to figure out who's gonna be the lesser of the two evils as opposed to who are the best candidates. Just my 2 cents worth.

He He He...I think it's kinda funny! A very novel aproach indeed. Chances are that a Gore-Clinton ticket would loose anyway but it would not be much of a change per say ( Which is bad of course) I have read at least two articles calling Gore the "shaddow President"????
