“Hillary will choose Obama for her veep and be the great uniter after her miraculous comeback.”
How exactly does this benefit Obama? All he has to do is look at Al Gore, Joe Lieberman and John Edwards to see how it benefits. Do you really believe that a Hillary presidency would give Obama any kind of real power? He truly would be a token at that point.
It would be in his best interests to not get on that ticket and hope she loses so he can run in 12. Even if she won the Presidency, as I mentioned before he would have no power in her presidency and you know that. He would be better off at trying to obtain power in the Senate such as becoming Senate majority leader and wield power from there while waiting for his opportunity to run again.
The Super Delegates are not going to overturn what the democrats in the Primaries have decreed. Obama will win this election now. Its just a question of how bloodied he will be in this fight. That can only happen if Hillary stays in the race.
If he wrapped the race up last night and she bowed out the next week, he could put all of his energies and money to taking apart McCain. Meanwhile McCain is basically broke and could not respond. What would you rather have, him spending money on beating up Hillary or spending money beating up McCain?
Think about the big picture, this scenario is playing out well for the Republicans.
You are missing the big picture, not me. If you have ever seen the movie skeleton key, you are the chick in the middle of the fire she has lit around herself and Hillary and Obama are outside the circle laughing at you.
It benefits Obama because it fills in the one gap in his resume in a marvelous way-—experience.
He’s a young man and can wait. While he VP, he racks up political connections, money, IOU’s etc.
And what’s he going to do otherwise? Get a job?
