"Speculations about a hypothetical Clinton-Obama ticket or an Obama-Clinton ticket have been around for awhile--but now, as the numbers waver and neither candidate has a substantial margin, the thought of a joint ticket has only grown more intriguing. I wonder, though--is it naive to keep questioning the possibility of this impossible partnership? Or is it wise to start preparing for an inevitable--and unstoppable--pairing of &amp;quot;the woman&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;the black man&amp;quot;, in whatever order?\nA new TIME poll shows that 62% of Democrats want Clinton to put Obama on the ticket, and 51% want Obama to do the same for Clinton. These are pretty impressive numbers, considering the bitterness that has surrounded the Democratic campaign. In my naivet\u00E9, I can&amp;#39;t imagine how two individuals who have built their campaigns largely on differentiating themselves from one another could suddenly create a harmonious couple (with Bill as third wheel). But that&amp;#39;s just part of the show, isn&amp;#39;t it? This is a tight campaign and in order to survive one must engage in the whole &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;ll know what to do on day one&amp;quot;/ &amp;quot;Well, I&amp;#39;ll be right on day one&amp;quot; charade.\nSo if we move past the superficial playground antics and consider their similar approaches to most of the crucial issues, how does a potential joint ticket look? To me, it still looks like part of the show. If either candidate chose the other as their running mate, it would be an obvious attempt to get their rival&amp;#39;s followers to the polls. As much as their ideological differences might seem negligible, I still believe that they have fundamentally different approaches that would, in either pairing, go to waste in a vice presidential post. The next Democratic president should win because he or she has built a team that puts their vision for the country above their greed for the Oval Office.\n--Fernanda"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
