How is this a problem? If she takes the veep spot, one of three things happens:

1. They lose, and she gains nothing but a boost to her resume.

2. They win. She waits her turn, and runs 8 years later, win or lose the second term, it won't really hurt her.

3. They win. She decides she can't wait that long and has her new friend asassinated.

Sounds like a winner to me.



I don't see the problem here.

Thats the way my thoughts are running. Tha assination theory.

You are correct. Those who say she'll never take the number two slot, yada yada yada, are not considering strategy and the big picture.

Running for VP in a losing campaign didn't do much to advance Geraldine Ferraro's political fortunes. I can't recall a VP nomination in a losing ticket that went on to higher office later. Most of them slip into political obscurity or become "expert political analysts". Lieberman was wise enough to keep his Senate seat or he would have become just an asterisk and he's going nowhere in his bid this year. The odds are against Hillary defying the trend.

I'm wracking my brain and I can't recall Dukakis' VP candidate.
