Clinton for president? (Dec 14 2006 02:23 GMT) - Political Insider: "While it may seem contrary to conventional wisdom that a Democratic ticket of a woman and an African-American would be unbeatable, Republican insiders are starting to worry about a Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama ticket. GOP advisers close to both John McCain and Rudy Giuliani fear Clinton would start with a base of about 250 electoral votes -- Democrats' minimum in the last four elections -- and that Obama would push Ohio and a few other states into the 'leans Democratic' column."
