Bill Clinton Pushes Hillary for Vice President Obama  Camp Resists 'Dream
Ticket' Pressure; McCain's Search Continues By MARK  MOONEY

*May 23, 2008 —*

Bill Clinton has been Sen. Hillary  Clinton's biggest booster in her
presidential bid, but is now campaigning  for a new job for his wife -- vice
president.

The so-called "dream  ticket" of Democratic nomination front-runner Sen.
Barack Obama of Illinois  and the New York senator has been talked up by
wistful Democrats for more  than a month as the two have gone toe-to-toe and
chalked up record turnouts  for primaries across the country.

The Clinton camp had previously said  such a ticket might be a good idea --
with Obama in the veep  spot.

But as the primaries come to an end and Clinton's chances of  overtaking
Obama's delegate lead dwindle, the former U.S. president has  joined the
Hillary-for-Veep bandwagon, ABC News' chief Washington  correspondent George
Stephanopoulos reported.

"He is definitely  talking it up, making no secret it would be a strong
ticket for Barack  Obama," Stephanopoulos reported on "Good Morning America"
this  morning.

Has Clinton Earned No. 2 Spot?

Bill Clinton believes  that his wife has "earned the offer of vice
president," Stephanopoulos  said.

"You're also seeing Clinton supporters talking it up as well,  like Sen.
[Diane] Feinstein of California," he said.

Hillary Clinton  bolstered her credentials for a spot on the ticket in recent
weeks with  lopsided primary victories in  West
Virginiaand
Kentucky,
demonstrating her strength among bedrock  Democratic groups like blue-collar
workers and women.

There are  three primaries left -- Puerto Rico on June 1 and South Dakota and
Montana  on June 3 -- and Clinton publicly shows no sign of conceding the
nomination  to Obama. The two camps are currently wrangling over the  disputed
delegations of Florida and Michigan, which Clinton hopes to settle  in her
favor.

"Barack Obama will be under pressure to at least give  this serious
consideration," Stephanopoulos said.

'Dream Ticket' or  Nightmare?

But other top Democrats are downplaying the possibility of a  dream ticket in
an apparent effort to give Obama support for choosing his  own running mate.

Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass. ,
who has endorsed  Obama, played down the possibility of an Obama-Clinton
ticketin
a recent  interview with Bloomberg's Al Hunt.

"I don't think it's possible,"  Kennedy told Hunt on Bloomberg TV. "I would
hope that [Obama] would,"  Kennedy explained, "also give consideration to
somebody that has -- is in  tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations
of the American people. And  I think if we had real leadership -- as we do
with Barack Obama -- in the  No. 2 spot as well, it'd be enormously helpful."


The Democratic  group VoteBoth, which is dedicated to an Obama-Clinton or a
Clinton-Obama  ticket, didn't much like Kennedy's analysis.

"We respect Sen.Kennedy's  opinions about what is best for the party, but we
think that the millions  of Democrats who have voted for Barack Obama and
Hillary Clinton have  something to say, too. Why stop at having a nominee who
has the support of  51 percent of Democrats when we could have a 'Dream Team'
ticket that has  won 100 percent?" spokesman Sam Arora said in a statement.

House  Speaker Nancy Pelosi also expressed similar
doubts.


"We will  have a dream ticket and it will contain one of them," the
California  Democrat said on "This Week With George
Stephanopoulos."

Pelosi, who  has officially remained neutral, was even more blunt during an
earlier news  conference on Capitol Hill.

"I just don't think it's going to happen,"  she said, saying her political
gut told her such an arrangement between two  former rivals would be
"impossible."

"Take it from me, that won't be  the ticket," Pelosi stated emphatically.

The Candidate's  Thoughts

Obama gave a noncommittal answer when pressed on the subject  Thursday while
campaigning in Boca Raton, Fla., saying he would be like  Abraham Lincoln and
consider his rivals for top  administration
jobs.


"I want to know if you'd consider everybody  who is a possible help to you as
a running mate," a Pompano Beach voter  asked. "Even if his or her spouse is
an occasional pain in the  butt."

The candidate initially laughed off the query but then replied,  "My goal is
to have the best possible government. And that means me  winning. So, I'm
very practical in my thinking. I'm a practical  guy."

McCain's Search

On the other side of the aisle, Arizona  Sen. John McCain will host several
Republican vice presidential contenders  at his home in Sedona, Ariz., this
Memorial Day weekend.


Gov.  Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Gov. Charlie Christ of Florida and former
Gov.  Mitt Romney of Massachusetts have all been invited to spend some
leisure  time with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

McCain  campaign senior adviser Charlie Black insists the gathering is  purely
social.

"It has nothing whatsoever to do with the vice  presidential selection
process," Black said, dismissing speculation that it  is a running mate
audition by noting that would be "pretty awkward" to have  all of the
contenders together at the same time.

McCain has  assembled, according to Stephanopoulos on today's "Good Morning
America," a  list of 20 potential vice presidential candidates. That list
includes New  York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Democrat who became a
Republican and  then, earlier this year, became an independent.

Bloomberg, a  multimillionaire who considered a third-party candidacy, has
met with  McCain and Obama in the course of the campaign.
