My concern is that Obama WILL announce Hillary for VP. If he does, I think there’s a great chance Obama will be our next President. Just a gut feel that something big is brewing.

Have that feeling also, would be just what he needs is Hillary as VP to get it done.
Clear these thoughts.

Yeah, there has to be a reason Obama is letting the Clintons (all three of them) have such a prominent role at the convention. Maybe it's just to mollify her angry supporters. Or maybe it's a prelude to announcing her as VP.

On the other hand, consider it from her point of view. Does she really want to be VP for eight years, so close to, but not in, the White House? Does he want her and her husband around, kibitzing and stealing the show? And that's assuming the gambit works, and they win.

Now you have to compare that prospect to gamely supporting the Obama-WhoKnows ticket and watching it carry DC in November. Then just four years later, another chance at the Oval Office!

The third possibility, stealing the nomination at the roll call, is a no-go. It would be a stunning blow to the aspirations of the 90+% blacks. They would desert the party, and the damage would extend well beyond Clinton's defeat in November.
