"Obama doesn't want a VP that will draw so much attention from him and one he has to constantly worry about."
What if he wants a VP who will do all the work and write all the policies, while he plays, gives interviews, travels, does pressers where he takes heat for the VP's policies so she won't need to face the press?
Just by the way and timing Hilary!'s candidacy was announced today, its clear now, as suspected, that Obama is just a setup man. The DBM will present a choice - Hilary! or Obama, which was planned from the get-go, since there is no future in an Obama candidacy.
