The Democratic presidential ticket will be a "Dream Team," Nancy Pelosi said Thursday, it just won't have both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's name on it.

Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, the House Speaker reiterated comments she made earlier in the week that the two presidential candidates will not end up sharing a ticket.

"I do think we will have a dream team, it just won't be those two names," She said. "Whoever our nominee is and whoever he or she is and whoever he or she chooses, will be a dream team as the Democrats go forward."

When pressed further about the possibility of a joint ticket, Pelosi stated flatly, "Take it from me, that won't be the ticket."

On Tuesday, Pelosi deemed a joint ticket with Obama and Clinton "impossible," citing Clinton's statements that McCain would make a more experienced commander-in-chief than Obama. ">Read more and watch the video here.

Very presumptuous to think the dream ticket is: Clinton/Obama, or Obama/Clinton. I can think of so many others that people would love to see: Obama/Winfrey, Obama/Jolie, H Clinton/T Gore, Stewart/Colbert, etc. If the democratic party is lucky enough to hold onto the House majority this election, Nancy Pelosi needs to be sent back to the cheap seats. She has totally failed at what the people who voted to change the direction of the government expected her to do. No mixed messages were sent, she is a total failure.

An AOL Online Poll being conducted today asks, "Who's looking best to you in the race overall?"

McCain 43%
Obama 30%
Clinton 18%
Haven't decided yet 7%
Other 2%

Total Votes: 109,948

Obama's VP choice could be key to his winning the election.

For Clintonista DLC and Republican neocons, the only seat on the presidential bus is in the cargo bin.
No former or incumbent president is running for president ..........­.....oops, wait a minute....­.......may­be the new prime minister of the West Wing....but not officially presidential candidate.....

Both the anointed Corporate "Democrat and Republican opponents" have been chosen for the sheeple to choose which Electors will indirectly vote for POTUS for them. Several hurdles are of course, stolen elections while our lily white observers pontificate upon foreign elections.

Racism....that is the ugly seed here......and the IRONY is that the man is HALF WHITE. Barack Obama is as much WHITE as he is BLACK.....HE IS FIFTY AND FIFTY. That fact would not change the mind of racists, however. His mother would be viewed by bigoted racists as a "race traitor." In fact, her marriage in 1960 was illegal in most US states until Loving v Virginia was decided in 1967.

The trouble with "white liberals" like Ferraro is that this multimillionairess wants her blacks to carry silver trays in white gloved hands....

as i always believed ,
that Obamas judgement on the war against terror was wrong,
and that Senator Obama will sink democratic ticket if he is presidential nominie,or vicepresidential becouse of his wrong judgement on the war,which wasn't based on facts(nobody invited him on senats meetings in2002,he didn't know the base of decisions).and he gave a speech.
it was enough for me not to trust senator Obama.

and now i understand better,why he did it.

He can believe in his supirior judgement,becouse it was

JUDGEMENT OF BELIEF ,based on SPIRITUAL EXPIRIENCE.

AMERICA can not trust senator OBAMA and doesn't need this JUDGEMENT while fighting against terrorists and HATERS OF AMERICA

If Clinton and Obama go into the Convention without a clear nominee, the only Dream Ticket I can envision that won't give the election to McCain is Gore/Obama.

Huffington post has become an interesting experiment. It shows what can happen when you are so blatantly anti-Clinton. The only hangers-on are those so in the tank for Obama they can't think straight and those few rational voters who are curious to see how hateful those Obama supporters will become.

If Obama gets the nomination and losses the general, people like Arrianna and her rabid fellow Clinton-haters will a lot of explaining to do.

These Obama supporters must be a hateful bunch, because I have never heard their candidate utter anything hateful. They must have been rabid already, and were just looking for someone to hate (Clinton).
On the other hand, the equanimity of Clinton supporters is equally strange. Hilllary calls McCain a better prospective Commander-in-Chief than Obama, and of course, Clinton backers think this is a mild statement of fact.
Well, seems PELOSI doesn't agree. I wonder why? Is she, too, made rabid by Obama's hate-free speeches?

Obama/Clinton will bring out Republican voters that even the RNC didn't know about.

Dear Ms Pelosi:

We've been 'taking it from you...' for 2 years too many already...STFU and sit down! You'll confuse yourself again.

She is stating the obvious. We should blame her because she refuses to go along with Clinton's spin? Clinton would never choose Obama for VP, and vice-versa. Clinton as VP diminishes an Obama ticket. Why would anyone choose someone with such high negatives? Clinton brings NOTHING.

And what could an inexperienced senator from Ill bring to her ticket? Maybe a few black votes in South Carolina and Mississippi.

Any "dream" ticket including Hillary is actually more like a "nightmare" ticket...
KKK for Hillary!! They just love what her surrogate said about Obama and they totally agree!!

What Hillary is doing now is everything she can to undermine Obama against McCain, in the hope that she can take another more competent stab at it in 2012. Pelosi knows that. Everyone knows that. It's the Clinton way. Party be damned. Plenty of evidence from 92 to 00 to confirm this analysis.

Nancy isn't the most prescient of souls...from a logical standpoint, she may be right, but to say this now is an absurdity...kind of like putting impeachment off the table...

If Hillary wins this nomination, by hook or by crook, as disgusted as I am with her "by any means" campaign strategy, I will pledge, as an Obama supporter, to throw my support behind Hillary. My love for this country runs deeper than my strong objection to Clinton's tactics. Four more years of Republican rule in the White House could accelerate this country's decline beyond the tipping point.

Can we have a similar pledge from the HRC supporters?

I really hope that this republican in drag gets elected out of office next election. Or at least make her change her party affiliation to the party she really represents.
