EXAMINER.COM - Political talk of Hillary-Michelle in 2016 as possible presidential
candidates has become a top trending topic on search engines, as
the Washington Examiner reported this week that while Hillary Clinton hasn't spoken much yet about the 2016 Democratic presidential nominations, there's already buzz of Michelle Obama joining the "dream team" as a very real female ticket in the polls.
Under the headline, "Hillary-Michelle in 2016? ‘Dream ticket'
floated", sources report that there has been public political discussion
this week of two potential female presidential candidates working
together, Hillary Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama.
"All due respect for President Obama and Vice President
Biden, but that would truly be a dream team for America," said former
Clinton spokeswoman Karen Finney. "Both women are proven effective
leaders who've raise children, so dealing with Congress would be a
snap."
"More than anything else, this reflects the growing
awareness that it is time for the glass ceiling of the last old boys
club to be firmly shattered," Democratic strategist Chris Lehane said as well.
And while the Hillary-Michelle in 2016 rumors may be making
headlines, the rumors aren't just talk, added the report. There have
already been bumper stickers made, saying "2016: Michelle Obama and
Hillary Clinton," as well as "First First Lady Ticket for President!" In
fact, the number of sales of Michelle-Hillary bumper stickers saw well
over a 50% increase this 2013, with a particular spike of popularity
this March.
"I really look forward to the day when a woman can run
for the presidency without so much parody and fanfare," said Donna
Brazile, a former Al Gore campaign manager.
Strategists for the Democratic party assert that Hillary Clinton is a
shoe-in to get onto the ticket for the next presidential race. In
addition to currently being well ahead of other male candidates in the
polls, she also has "vast experience" in both politics and the White
House, added the report.
While the Michelle Obama rumors are only that for now, past advisor
Terry McAuliffe revealed to Secrets that Hillary Clinton will ultimately
make up her mind whether she will run for president sometime next year.
President Barack Obama has also been notably supportive of Clinton.
