Hillary and Mccain are about the only 2 people Kerry could pick that would substantially help his odds. Like her or not ,Hillary does have quite a following.

Kerry/Clinton would be a problem for Bush, but I just don't see it. I think she's decided Kerry can't win, so better for her to just sit out til 08.

Both Hillary and McCain had said the no way the wanted the job.....no scenario no scenario..........and the beastly laugh HAHAHAHAHa ......no no I'm working to hard for the people of NY...........did the lie to us........

McCain would jump at an invitation to the slot as well as the beast..it would be mighty interesting to watch these two go after Kerry (the Vietnam vet...did you know that) nod .......

Last month, Kerry/Clinton polled 32% against Bush/Cheney at (I think/not sure)52%.

Kerry/Edwards was either up against Bush/Cheney in the same poll or they were tied at 50%/50%...can't recall.

Some FReeper should have that poll.

Her negatives are so high, it would have to be either a money deal or because no one else wants to be associated w/Kerry. Hillary may think *VP nominee* would look good on her resume, regardless.

Personally, I think she is making the mistake of taking Bill's advice. Considering his recent track record, I think she should take it.

She has a following among the base who already hates Bush, and is already planning on voting for Kerry. But there is just as much of a base (a Republican one) who despises her -- what better way to fire up Republicans than to put Hillary on the Dems' ticket!

I don't see Hillary helping Kerry. Too much alike.
