My Dream Ticket: Obama-McCain
I know it is not within the realm of possibilities but McCain and Obama would complement each other so well, would unite this nation, would transcend partisan politics, would place the people above special interests and principle above polls.

Did you listen to Barack Obama’s South Carolina Victory Speech?
Barack Obama’s South Carolina Victory speech is one of the most inspirational and powerful – and sincere – I have heard in a long time. It is also the right message that our nation and our world desperately need. After months of researching all candidates, and after seeing the way they have conducted their campaigns, [...]

Hilary Clinton shows substance, McCain shows principle, Obama hope
Tough to decide which candidate will do a better job for the US, and the stakes are higher than ever. At issue are global environmental, socio-political and economic challenges as big as we’ve ever seen. In that context, Hilary’s experience, judgement and strength of character are important. Then McCain shows something I admire a lot: [...]

Barak Obama: OneVoice
I just saw this great video from Barak Obama where he speaks about the power of "One Voice"… …and the importance of transcending the politics of division. I consider myself an independent voter (neither Democrat nor Republican, and non-alligned to any candidate yet), and I have some concerns about Obama’s positions, but he certainly seems [...]

Last night, I had a painful nightmare. My Dad was having convulsions, pain in his chest and stomach, and I was helpless, unable to help him. He was dying of what seemed like a heart attack, and I was paralyzed with fear. The image has haunted me all day. My Dad passed away four and [...]

Nice thought, my friend.
It is unlikely that Mrs. Clinton would accept the Vice-Presidential role for any President after spending eight years witnessing Al Gore’s plight. Also, Mr. Obama would probably not be able to endure eight years of being Vice-President to the Co-Presidency of Bill and Hillary Clinton. By the way, does a co-presidency even have or acknowledge a vice-president?
OBAMA-HAGEL ‘08
I think this would be so true, they would complement eachother. I am a little put off by the way McCain responded to Obama about the legislation for lobbying reform going through a committee, instead of making a bi-partisan task force. I think he misinterpreted Barack’s response. However, if they can get past that it would be neat to see something like this happen. If we really had a representative democracy it would make sense for the top choices of each party to share the office, albeit with some sort of assurance in place that they will cooperate with eachother to meet common goals. For some reason I feel Obama and McCain could make it work without needing that in place. I just don’t know about for future leader’s, whoever they would be.
[...] months ago I wishfully pondered about a joint Obama-McCain ticket. This is not a practical suggestion as they hold fundamentally different policy positions [...]
