Could a powerful duo of First ladies become the first female President and Vice President of the United States? The prospect has Washington insiders excited.
A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed that a Democratic ticket of Hilary Clinton and Michelle Obama would defeat any rumored Republican challengers in the 2016 election.
"Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton would start a 2016 presidential campaign with enormous advantages," said the QU's assistant director Peter Brown. "She obviously is by far the best known, and her more than 20 years in the public spotlight allows her to create a very favorable impression on the American people."
Café Press says that sales of Hilary-Michelle related gear have shot up by 60 percent in the last several months.
"All due respect for President Obama and Vice President Biden, but that would truly be a dream team for America," former Clinton spokeswoman Karen Finney told the Washington Examiner.
However, with Hilary denying reports of a 2016 run and Michelle unlikely to hop directly into the second-highest political position in the country, experts aren't taking the idea too seriously.
"Hillary and Michelle are both very popular and accomplished, but this smacks of too much celebrity and is a tad too dynastic for American voters," said pollster John Zogby about a Hillary-Michelle run in 2016. "An interesting reality show, yes. A ticket, no."
Seeing as many Democratic insiders expect current Vice President Joe Biden to make a run at the Oval Office in 2016, a Hilary-Michele ticket does seem unlikely, however awesome it may be.
