Obama, Clinton, McCain Join Forces To Form Nightmare Ticket<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

WASHINGTON\u2014Presidential hopefuls John McCain (R-AZ), Barack Obama (D-IL), and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) announced Monday their plans to form what many Beltway observers have already dubbed the “2008 Nightmare Ticket,” a calculated move that political analysts say offers voters the worst of both worlds.<\/p>\n

After nearly a year of verbal attacks and negative campaign ads, the nominees announced that, for the good of the country, they were willing to push their differences to the forefront and grant the American people the ticket they’ve been dreading all along.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

[…] “This nightmare ticket presents the American people with an unprecedented lack of opportunity in 2008,” Washington Post<\/i> columnist Richard Cohen wrote Tuesday. “For just one vote, citizens will get four years of McCain’s brilliant temper, the incredible inexperience of Barack Obama, and the powerful two-headed monster of Hillary and Bill Clinton.”<\/p>\n

“It will be very exciting to see what they’re capable of destroying, ” Cohen added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
