Thread: The "Bubba" Effect

Thinking about Hillary losing ground got me started thinking.
To be perfectly upfront, as a Republican I wasn't very fond of Bill Clinton and his presidency.
However, I'll give the man his due. He is a master politician and I believe if he could run again, he would win.
Many reports are surfacing about big-money supporters going to Obama.
My questions are: Will Bubba be able to support someone other than Hillary? And if not, how does the loss of arguably the biggest star in the party affect the race? Would Hillary and Bill throw their support to the nominee or would they sit it out?

justme, it is still early and who knows Obama and Hillary might become running partners.

Rob, you may be right. But i don't see Hillary or bill as the "let bygones be bygones" types.

If Hillary gets the nomination I think Obama is a no-brainer for a running mate

Ken, you and Rob may be right. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of Obama getting the nod. That brings another question, would Hillary accept VP?

Would Obama accept a speaking engagement at a KKK meeting???

With the number of people who have died around Bill and Hilliary I don't think I would ask Hilliary to be my vice president, the next in line in the case I croak
