Now, before we begin, I would like to say that I think a Clinton/Obama ticket would be great, but that order is only because of alphabetical order, not because I want to Clinton as President. Frankly, I want Obama.

But, taking that out of the picture, let’s take a look at the news and let’s understand what’s going on with this whole Clinton/Obama ticket idea. On March 5th, the day after Clinton won in Ohio and Texas, she said that she would openly support a dual ticket, but said that the people of Ohio voted who they wanted on top. “That may be where this headed, but of course we have to decide who’s on top of the ticket,” Clinton said. “I think people of Ohio very clearly said it should be me.” She thinks that it should be her..

Why?

The last I checked (and I check at least five times a day as if it is going to change five times a day), Clinton was behind in delegates, the popular vote, and as time goes on, the Superdelegate count becomes more and more narrow. This week alone, two Superdelegates who had originally pledged their support for Clinton agreed that they were changing their support to Obama. Last I checked, two less Superdelegates for Clinton and two more for Obama meant one thing: they wanted Obama.

But, for some reason, she feels that Obama would make a better Vice President than a President. Now, I agree that the two working together would ensure a Democratic victory. I just don’t agree that Clinton should be on top of the ticket. And neither does Obama. In an article reported on CNN, Obama said, “With all due respect. I won twice as many states as Clinton. I’ve won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So, I don’t know how somebody who’s in second place is offering vice presidency to the person who’s in first place.”

Obama knows the same thing that I know. Clinton is in second place and yet she is insisting that she be the President. Now, I know that the news I’ve reported is a few weeks old, but in the Times very recently, there was a post in the Caucus that talked about how a former Clinton aid had created a website that insisted upon a Clinton/Obama ticket with Clinton as the President.

So, I ask once more…Why?

Obama is currently winning. As each day goes on, Clinton’s chances of winning become harder and harder. So, my question to Senator Clinton is: how can you have the audacity to offer the current leader a second place position? Now, if you want my advice, I think Clinton should back down, admit defeat, and then perhaps a Clinton/Obama ticket can occur, but instead, Obama will be President and Clinton will be Vice President. But…I don’t think everyone would agree with that.

But, I can tell you one thing…The popular vote currently agrees with that and so do the delegates. I think that’s what matters, right?
