I still think Hillary would have turned down the VP spot even if offered. She wants to be the top dog, and that would only delay it. Plus, if she thinks Obama is a loser, getting tied to him could be grim.
Having said that, it’s hilarious to watch Obama get zinged for it. Even Biden’s admits he’s the wrong guy. LOL!
I agree.
I feel the same exact way. People often assume Hillary would take the VP position if offered. If I was her, I’d say no. For all the reasons you stated.
OK, let's assume for a second that you're correct in your thoughts. How would this revelation play out in public perception? Especially now, after Biden's own little revelation, essentially that he's less qualified than Hillary to be on the ticket? The meme has been planted, Obama's judgment is being questioned (not just by us but by the left), a more qualified woman is being percieved as having been passed over ... I see little downside to this. Should Biden actually be thrown under the bus for Hillary, then there's a whole 'nother set of thorns for Obama to contend with. His own most ardent supporters are misogynist. He will be overshadowed by his own VP. The longer we can keep them chasing their collective (and I do mean collective) tails over this, the longer they remain in complete disarray.
If Hillary had run as VP with Kerry, they would have won and she MIGHT be running as Kerry’s successor. Sometimes, No. 2 is the right step to take. Egomania is a shortcoming.
