Political pundits have long been wondering about the possibility, and viability, of a Clinton Obama Ticket for the Democrats in the 2008 Election.

There has been speculation about this scenario since both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama announced their candidacies. Discussion was sparked again on March 4, 2008, after Clinton won the Texas and Ohio primaries, reinvigorating her candidacy, and promising an extended race for the Democrats.

Clinton has indicated that she would be open to the suggestion. Both candidates still maintain that the biggest issue is who will be at the top of the ticket.

Lawyers who attended a meeting with Hillary Clinton have reported to news sources that she is dedicated to seeing a Democrat in the Whitehouse. She indicated that she will do whatever it takes to make that happen, and will do whatever she is asked to do.

Campaign workers within the Obama camp have indicated that they see this as a clear signal that Clinton is willing to accept the VP spot on the ticket.
