You’ve identified the problem: helping Hildabeast get the nomination doesn’t get rid of Obama, it simply moves him to the VP slot and, eventually, back into another White House run as an incumbant.
I don’t see any upside to that.

Whether Hillary or Obama is in the VP slot is irrelevant. Which ever candidate loses in the primary election could still end up as the other's running mate in the general election.
Meanwhile, anything we can do to force Hillary and Obama to spend money trying to defeat each other (and drive a bigger wedge between the Dem party and its traditional minority voters) is to our advantage. The more money and effort they expend fighting each other, the less money and effort they'll have left over to use against McCain in the general election.

My sentiments exactly. Edwards and Kerry weren’t exactly friendly, but they were matched up. She can’t afford to lose his votes. The only way his supporters won’t feel “disenfranchised” is to have him on the ticket.

Who’s helping her? I don’t think anyone on the right has any such intention. Merely prolonging her agony.
