I don't like this one bit. If they pull this off, I worry they will attract independents who feel that Hillary is a 'moderate'.

[ScottinVA]

I can’t imagine the aging, sagging, joweled Hillary! wanting to be 0bama’s #2. She either wants the whole pie or none of it.

[AU72]

That’s like relieving the Captain of the Titantic after it hit the iceberg.

[dartuser]

The presumed nominee with the Dem star power, political clout, and uber name recognition gets smacked around by a smooth talking nobody from Illinois ...

... Hillary will be out of politics before her term ends as Sec of State and get 300k a day on the lecture circuit.

[Cicero]

Obama doesn’t want someone who will stab him in the back sitting in the VP slot. That’s why he picked Joe Biden. Every time people get mad at Obama, they think, “Well, Biden is even worse.” He isn’t—nothing could be worse—but I’ve often heard people say that.

OTOH, the VP doesn’t matter much in a President’s first term, but is more important in the second, because they are often groomed to run for president after the 8 years are up.

That was a problem when Bush left, because Cheney was too old and ill to make a possible successor. Bush failed to groom anyone good to take his place.

Obambi may start talking to HER about this, if it becomes apparent she will challenge him for the top spot.

[Little Ray]

GREAT IDEA. Take the most ambitious (and frustrated) woman on Earth for his VP. He’d be safer dining every night with Lucrezia Borgia.
Have better company, too.

I wonder how long he’d last?

[McGruff]

There’s only one position Hillary would take. His. And it just may happen. Revenge of the PUMAs.

[Nosterrex]

Michelle is not going to allow Hillary to be VP. If you were Obama, would you want Hillary as VP? There is a very good chance that Obama’s body would show up in the park.

[CJ Wolf]

oooo I'll be able to resuse my hillhead!

[FrankR]

As much as Hillary wants to be the "first woman president", and remembering Ft. Marcy Park, I would not let her within 10 miles of the VP slot.

The woman is ruthless and power hungry; she will do whatever she has to do to gain the top spot. This Secretary of State thing was just for "resume' enhancement" for the future.

And, she has high negatives and I think she would be a detriment to obama's ticket anyway.

Joe Biden is the best life insurance obama could have ever picked.

[traditional1]

No way.....she would become a Birther as soon as she was sworn in, IF the Messiah survived through an Arkancide.....

[bigbob]

Hillary will NOT:

1. Let the Republicans be the only party with a female candidate for President in 2012, if thay comes to pass.

2. Stand idly by and watch Obama wreck the Democrat party that she and Bill used to “own”.

The only resolution of these two issues is for her to run for President, not make some goofy lateral move into VP slot. And I look for her to do it. The trigger event will be the Nov. mid-terms, if the Dems clock gets cleaned like the hope and pray it will, that’ll be her cue to rise up and say “I can’t be a part of this any longer!”.

[Walkingfeather]

Yeah so would you have Hilary as your VP waiting to step in at any moment you have an accident?

[bigbob]

So I guess we ought to really hope this VP idea catches on, because it might be more appealing to the Dems than for her to rise up and challenge BHO in 2012. But she really holds most of the cards, her approval ratings are FAR higher than his, with her in a strong VP role she could “save” Obama for a 2nd term and be his logical successor, and would bring the support of the PUMAs, independents who went over to Obama in 2008, and the big block of traditional Dems who still worship Slick and the Clinton wing of the party.

I think it would still be hard for her to pull enough Indies over to get a majority, but that depends on who’s running on the Republican ticket in 2012. Anyone who doesn’t think a Palin vs. Hillary debate would be a record-breaker should sell your popcorn futures now!

[Vendome]

Barry isn’t going to run. He is going to be hounded for his records.

[pallis]

For certain Obamao has to know he took on an idiot when he picked Biden. What will he be taking on if he picks Hillary?

[clee1]

Noe even Zero is that stupid. Arkancide is a distinct possibility....

[paulycy]

Hillary won't settle for VP.

[CynicalBear]

I think it’s more likely that Obama will not be the candidate in 2012.
