They could make a winnable team with Obama in the VP spot.

if it could ever happen, they've thrown a lot of mud in each others eyes during the primaries. However, I agree with you if one of them were willing to subjugate their agenda, and political aspirations, to the others that would be an unstoppable ticket.Idon't think Obama wants to be anyone's VP though and we all know damn well that Hillary won't, So it will be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks.

Well killian, is because his a politician like every other who is looking to become a president and leave a name of him self behind, period. Just because he smoked a joint and took a little coke it doesn't make him sympathetic to people like us, to him we are nothing but a vote, he don't want to know us, we are the criminal element he wants to take out of society.

Peace

That's because she's already been VP for eight years. She doesn't want the same job with better pay, she wants to be the top dog in the pen.......

Default Presidential Candidate Barack Obama Backs Federal Decriminalization

This Week's News from NORML

Presidential Candidate Barack Obama Backs Federal Decriminalization -- “I think the war on drugs has been a failure, and I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws.”

Washington, DC: A newly discovered video of a 2004 appearance at Northwestern University by Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama, in which he calls for the federal decriminalization of marijuana, was posted online today by The Washington Times. In that appearance, Obama states, "I think the war on drugs has been a failure, and I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws." Obama continued, saying that while he supported decriminalization, he did not support the full legalization of marijuana.

In contrast, Senator Obama appeared to oppose decriminalization in a 2007 Democratic primary debate when MSNBC moderator Tim Russert asked candidates who opposed then-candidate Senator Chris Dodd’s support of decriminalization to raise their hands. In the video, Senator Obama is seen hesitantly raising his hand halfway before quickly lowering it again.

When asked about the two different answers, Senator Obama’s campaign stated that he has "always" supported decriminalization, and that Obama misunderstood the question when he raised his hand in the debate. In that same statement, Obama’s campaign reiterated the Senator’s opposition to full legalization, but said that an Obama administration "will review drug sentences to see where we can be smarter on crime and reduce the blind and counterproductive sentencing of non-violent offenders."

"It appears Senator Obama, alone among the major candidates for the presidency, has the courage to state the obvious: it is time that we stopped treating responsible marijuana smokers like criminals," said NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre. "According to a recent CNN/Time Warner poll, 76% of the American people agree with Senator Obama, as well as the 48 million Americans who smoked marijuana last year."

Democratic rival Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign stated that she opposes decriminalization. On the Republican side, Senator John McCain opposes decriminalization, while former Utah Governor Mitt Romney opposes both decriminalization and physician-recommended access to medical cannabis.

For more information, please contact NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre at (202) 483-5500. The Washington Times story, along with video of the two appearances referenced above, are available online at: Obama: Decriminalize pot*-*-*The Washington Times, America's Newspaper.

He won the southern Democrats...Duh. If you have been paying attention to the last few presidential elections, the south is very conservative and tends to vote for the GOP. He didn't win in Mass., California, Michigan, or Florida. If he's the Dem. candidate in November, the GOP will steamroll right over the top of him and the democrats will have squandered an opportunity to regain the white house.

Sounds like Fox News with that statement

I think Obama is our only chance to soften the war on drugs, that is why I, a Republican, am voting for him.

Does it really matter where the truth comes from? When people find out that he is an ultra liberal candidate, they are going to run away from him. Just like always, the extreme left wing of the Democratic party is attempting to take control of the party and push their agenda through. Remember George McGovern? This is history repeating itself. Thats the problem with the democrats, they don't learn. Bill Clinton was the only one who knew how to do it. Aim for the center. Make yourself look like a centerist.
