WASHINGTON — Hillary and Obama together? That’s the hint dropped by Hillary Clinton, who won primaries Tuesday in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island.
Obama had been on a 11-state winning streak, and he won Vermont Tuesday. Clinton reportedly hinted Wednesday at the possibility of sharing the Democratic presidential ticket with Barack Obama – with her at the top, according to the Associated press.
But it may not happen. Both candidates insist they have the stuff to beat McCain.
On CBS’s “The Early Show” Clinton said, “That may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me.”
The delegate count still has Obama in the lead, which he says is proof enough he hasn’t lost yet.
“We still have an insurmountable lead,” Obama told the AP. “We’re very confident about where we’re going to be and that we can win the nomination and the general election.”
By the AP’s count, Obama had a total of 1,477 delegates while Clinton had 1,391 delegates. It takes 2,025 to win the nomination.
On the issues, Clinton says voters agree she would be the better commander in chief, stands a better chance of beating McCain and could better guide the economy.
But Obama argued that on the national security issue – the war in Iraq – “she got it wrong” by supporting Bush’s call for authority to use of force.
“I ultimately think the American people are going to want a clear break from the Bush-Cheney foreign policies of the past because they haven’t made us more safe and more secure,” he said. “If she thinks that longevity in Washington is the primary criteria for winning the White House, then John McCain is going to beat her.”
The next big race is in Pennsylvania, April 22, with 158 delegates. Meanwhile, 12 delegates are up for grabs in Wyoming caucuses Saturday and Mississippi has 33 at stake next week.
