It has never happened before but there is always a first time for it.
More speeches, or ads.
What do you think?
the Republican ticket of Ron Paul and Fred T just has only about 13% drawing power.
The Green Party ticket of John McCain and Mitt Romney will get about 7 %.
So how do Hillary/Al arrive to 80%?

Absolutely not, 52% of the American people already said that they will not vote for Hillary. Look for at most 10% to change their mind, not 30%.

No idea. I just don't like that ticket but I would tolerate Obama. McCain and Romney for the Greens? Sorry but quite impossible. It's like saying that the Libertarian Party would have a ticket with Rudy Giuliani and Barack Obama. 80% of the popular vote is so unreal but I believe George Washington got like about 70%. Anyways, a more realistic goal is to get 80% of the electoral votes (that would be like the 1984 election but with more electoral votes for the other major party). Thanks!

It is nearly impossible to do that. Unless all Republican front-runners turn out gay or pagan, and the evangelicalists don't vote. Then people find out that Bush and the Saudi gov't staged 9/11(not saying it happened), so the whole leadership/fighting terror thing tanks. Then people find compelling evidence that Bill didn't really do anything wrong with Monica Lewinsky. All the third-party candidates drop out. Rig the voting machines in suburban and rural counties in the South and the West so that they break down. Every low-income adult in New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago get to vote twice. Teenagers in public schools vote.
Then, that 80% thing just might have a chance of happening.

It's easy. In this country those who have the highest profile and name recognition garner the most votes. It isn't about who is best, it's about who is most known. We have been bombarded with "media madness" for so long we don't even bother to seriously research the issues. If we did, none of the candidates in the past three elections would have been selected.

Al would be a boost to Hillary, but somehow I do not see them getting along well. Even I admit 80% is un-realistic, 52 or 53% would be fine with me.

If the American public were voting on the most lothed citizens of this country..............Clinton/Gore would probably do a tad better than 80%. But a Clinton/Pelosi ticket would do much, much better.
