    Is Bill allowed to run on a ticket with Hillary as her VP?
    The language in the 12th amendment says "...no person cons utionally ineligible to the
    office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the
    United States."

    There are those who challenge the interpretation of that language;

    Michael C. Dorf, vice dean and professor of law at Columbia
    University, says that the 12th Amendment would allow Clinton to become
    Vice-President, however. "The 12th Amendment would allow a Clinton
    vice-presidency. Its language only bars from the vice-presidency those
    persons who are "ineligible to the office" of President. Clinton is
    not ineligible to the office of president, however. He is only
    disqualified (by the 22nd Amendment) from being elected to that
    office."

    Arguing that disqualified does not equate to being ineligible seems to be quite a stretch

    okay, But seriously Folks,

    I believe Hillary will attach herself to the Democratic ticket, not as President, but as Vice President to another Al Gore campaign.

    who can the Republicans put up against that ticket to defeat IT?

    i want Condi Rice. I think as Vice President, cuz i'd LOVE to see Hillary get her ass handed to her in the debates.

    but who to go against Gore?

    Any ideas?

    I don't know if Guliani is the man for the job.

    and i don't believe Jeb has what it takes, although i could be wrong.

    who are the other Top notch Conservative Candidates for President?

    I'd run, but i don't think Condi would agree to be my vice presidential candidate.

    Thanks in advance!

    She's going to to run for President. No doubt in my mind.

    Whether she gets the nomination is another story.

    I think she would see it as an insult to have to run as Gore's VP and I think she'd probably be right to think so.

    Gore had his chance to be the Adlai Stevenson of the new millennium.

    He passed.

    trust me fellas, Hillary controlled the presidency from behind bill and she'll do the same with Al.

    all the control, none of the heat. it's perfect for her.

    now, back to the question.

    Who are the Gop candidates that are not Jeb or Guliani?

    and i'm not thinking arnold either.

    who else is there. i am ignorant of the choices and i need help.

    Thanks again!

    I suspect that she will run and win. The dumbass West and East Coast establishments in the Democratic party don't know how to win in flyover country. The Clintons have proven that they know how to win there. Like it or not, libs, but a reason Bush won in '04 and won big is because he convinced a majority of the voters that he respected them and understood their concerns. Kerry and Gore suck at that while Bill C and his wife were the ing masters of that. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Hillary will be compe ive in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia. The '08 election is going to be played out on GOP turf. That is never good. Given how close the Electoral College was split in '00 and '04, it won't take much to tip the scales to a Democrat presidential candidate. In addition, the media is going to go off the deep end with the 1st ever serious female presidential candidate.

    Don't shoot the messenger.

    What a weird ing country. The US would go from a presidential campaign in '04 between two classic Eastern establishment old money white males to one in '08 with the potential to have the first woman president and perhaps the first black president at the same time.

    People will vote for her cuz her last name is Clinton, just like minority of idiots voted for Bush just cuz his name was Bush in 2000.

    she'll get a sympathy vote for living with a lying husband, but in reality, she sold out to the quest for power.

    I believe Hillary is the beast reincarnate. Thus, she must be stopped.

    when the bombs and explosions happen, all fingers will be on Bush.

    this is one of the main reasons Bush needs to fix our borders and start gettting more

    troops home so we can protect our nation from the inside for a while.

    9/11 part II is on our doorsteps, i fear LA is first.

    i'm going back next week, so if I get vaporized, it was a pleasure and an honor posting here.

    MB, if she gets out the winner in primary, then I think you may be correct in your assement. Bill will pull no stops in getting his wife elected and call in all his cards (and she her's). My hope is the country will stop there run, buuutttttt........if my side (the Republicans) do what they did when Clinton ran (both races) don't show up with a good canidate, we may have another Clinton in the White House. He won because the Republicans just didn't show up at the polls to support their canidate.I don't know if Rice will run. I am not sure she wants the the job. And I am not sure she is up to the job, she is plenty smart and shows good intelligence, but as Secretary of State she has kept a very low profile on the International scene, except making visits to other countries, which haven't generated much in the news media. It may be she is just using quite diplomacy. We will only know later. Right now I think Guliani may have a good chance, if he wants to try for the job. McCain, who the knows about him. Me personally, I think he is just what he was a Lt. Col. who got himself shot down in VN. Yeah, he went thru over there and I respect him for that, but since then as a Senator, I have my doubts about him. He is a tad on the liberal side for me. Sorry, but I am just an old conservative, always have been, always will be. I just don't think he has a chance in primaries and I am not sure the public at large would support him.

    McCain is a fiscal conservative. That used to be old school.

    But Senators always think that they are automatically canditates for pres. I think that they are disadvantaged because they are in the legislative mindset, and the Presidency is an administrative job.

    Bonfire, I am not so sure he is a fiscal conservative. I am not sure what he stands for. Heck, half the time he is siding with the Demo's and sponsoring some stupid bill. Like his Political campaign contributions bill. Now he is at it again. Yeah, I know there is a lot of money shoveled around, in both parties, and many smaller ones. But good Lord, look at moveon.org. One man uses most of his own money, which should be allowed, I don't agree with him, but it is his money. How the he made it being so stupid I have no idea, but he did. How do you outlaw that? I don't think we have any fiscal conservatives left in congress. The demo's back in my younger days had a lot of them. But after all the kooks took over the party starting in 68 things changed. And LBJ really put the country on a spending spree. Lots of folks in this forum really forget that the dimm-o-craps started the VN war, with JFK putting troops in there and LBJ and bay of Tomkin affair. But no matter, it all happened and I changed, actually tried to stay with a party that had my same beliefs. Government cant be all things to all people, just not possible. Spend a little time in Europe and you will find that out. Their government sounds great till you get over there and live there do you find that it just doesn't work out. Like socialized medicine. Many in the UK now have private health insurance because they cant get care under their government system. Also most aren't aware that their social security system lets the people in put money into private investments. Yeah, a socialized government allows that, wonder why? Oh, only one thing I did like about their medical system, the doctors still do make house calls.

    You're preaching to the choir on socialism.

    But McCain has been villified by radical right members because he dared vote against specific provisions in bills he disliked. How is that healthy for a political party's future?
