Bill Clinton: John McCain and Hillary are 'very close'
Posted: 06:45 PM ET

Hillary Clinton and John McCain are very close, Bill Clinton says.
(CNN) — If Hillary Clinton and John McCain become their party's presidential nominees, the general election race is likely to be a love-fest.

At least according to Bill Clinton.

Campaigning in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Friday, the former president brushed aside suggestions his wife would prove to be a divisive nominee for the Democratic Party, pointing out how she has successfully worked with Republicans in the Senate — including one of the current GOP presidential candidates.

"She and John McCain are very close," Clinton said. "They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other."

The comments may not be welcome by the McCain camp — which yesterday faced fire from several of its rivals for winning the backing of the New York Times — a longtime archenemy of conservatives.

Sens. McCain and Clinton last met publicly at an ABC debate earlier January, when presidential candidates of both parties shared the same stage. The two were seen exchanging pleasantries, and a Clinton side said she told the Arizona senator he’d done a “good job” staging a comeback in New Hampshire. He asked that she say hello to Bill Clinton for him.

Damn that Bill Clinton is one smart cookie.

By making nice he's making McCain look more democrat than republican to dwindle his constituency.

LOL probably. But McCain does that just fine on his own.

[Crushaholic]

ugh...I would fear for the next four years with either one of them...

Politically, McCain and the Clintons are not far apart.

Someone on another thread commented it would be like watching wet toast.

No. The neocon philosophy is a whole different ball game. Neither Billary nor McCain are neocons.

Actually, the GOP should throw all of their support behind McCain right now. In all of the pooling I've see he looks like the only candidate capable of beating Obama or Hillary. Every other GOPer is berind the Dem candidate by at least 8 percentage points. McCain trails Clinton by only two points and actually is ahead of Obama by one.

If the GOP is going to win this thing, McCain is their only shot.

And don't talk to me about Ron Paul. He is a Libertarian in GOP clothing.

If the GOP goes ahead and picks McCain early and then the Dems go into a brokered convention that gets nasty, and worse, possibly racial, McCain will win. It would be like 1968. The riots at the Dem convention in Chicago put Nixon in the WH.

:thumbsup:

That would be most ideal.

I think it would suck. A McCain presidency would be a disaster for this country. The last thing we need is more militarism in the WH. Unfortunately, historically the Dems are their own worst enemies.

The Dems will not have a brokered convention. Hillary is just too strong.

At least we agree on Sam Baker. :thumbsup:

This goes without saying.

Are you suggesting we don't ALREADY have a disaster on our hands?

Of course we do. It grows worse by the hour. And I fail to see how any of the Dems -- Kucinich excepted -- will make things better.

America's biggest problem is NOT the economy. It's not even the war in Iraq. It's the current level of massive denial about all of the above, and 9/11 too of course.

See I don't buy that. Most of McCain is insane talk came from the tactic Bush used on him in SC 8 years ago. Were W cronies painted him as unhinged due to his time as prisoner.

We are talking about a guy that lead the Congress in passing measure to stop torture, routinely kicks the Pentagon in the balls for spending and knows the horrors of war. And lets not forget made speeches condemn the religious rights political actions

It's coming, smart guy. Have you been following the stock market?

You are the one who's in debt, buddy. Not me.

yeah there is no doubt it is coming , but who is in denial ?
even hard core republicans tarted turning before the news came out ......... Allen Freaking Greenspan wrote a book about ...Just who in the **** is in denial ? Plenty of debate on how to fix it ......

The bush's only used the neocon philosophy to get what they wanted done.

You'd be more correct in saying the neo-cons used Bush to get what they wanted done. Bush is just the neo-cons puppet.
