This is because the Emperor Who Wears No Clothes thinks he has this election wrapped up. That has been evident from the Presidentialesque seal, the O Force One and everything else he has presented himself to be.

McCain runs an ad about how Obama failed the Clintons by not considering the Beast for VP. He then decides to announce the VP candidate on Friday. X42 cautiously encourages democrats not to vote for Osama. Mutliple rats consider voting GOP because of what happened between Osama and the Beast........................McCain picks the Beast as the GOP vice presidential candidate on Friday............Now I need to go throw up, my tinfoil beanie is too tight.

Bill Kristol proposed almost that very scenario, including recommending a McCain/Clinton ticket, on Fox News Sunday.

Let’s have a show of hands...how many think McCain is capable of picking the Hildebeest for Veep??

???

The Clintons best chance at this point is to angle for a Mccain victory and then a Hillary in 2012 comeback.
I believe that it was Clinton that turned down Obama for this reason. They do not want Obama elected for that would ruin their opportunity in 2012. The Obama people had to know what Hillary would bring to them if selected as the V.P. candidate. The Clintons are purposely undermining the Obama campaign at the convention to help push him off the edge.

The Clintons are poison, and the democrats are about to learn this the hard way (those of them who haven't already). Whereas if Obama loses this election it will be easy for the Clintonistas to say ‘I told you so’, the ill-will they have engendered will only be amplified by his loss. It's inconceivable to me that the Obama backers will come ‘home’ with their tail between their legs saying ‘you were right’, ‘we support you’. More likely is that they will be so upset that they will never back a Clinton again, for anything.

When you live by the sword you die by the sword. The Clintons have always been about ‘divide and conquer’. Eventually all narcissism and otherwise self-centered behavior is seen for what it is. The number one criterion for a ‘leader’, in my book, is humility. There is always someone smarter, better, stronger. If one is driven by the desire to do good, irrespective of self or acquisition of credit, one can do great things. If driven by a sense of destiny one will always fall short.

Obama won and he needs Clinton supporters on board.

A common failing amongst those unaccustomed to leading.

His arrogance leads him to believe that since he won, Hillary should be bowing and scraping to him.

A leader realizes that since it is his responsibility to win, he must avail himself of all means.

Hillary Clinton wants to derail Obama so she can be the Democrat presidential nominee in 2012, not so she can be the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008.

Heh, yeah, do you really want to write "blown it" in the same line as "Bill Clinton?"

Probably. and he'll most likely regret it, too. Even if he wins. And more so if he loses.

Apparently you missed the insult that Obama laid on Hillary last week, he said that he had never considered her for VP, hadn't vetted her and never gave having her as VP a thought. That really ticked off the PUMAs as you might guess. So, no, Hillary didn't turn Obama down, she would have probably but she was never given the chance.
