Hillary Clinton for vice president
Washington Post ^ | 01/03/2012 | Suzi Parker

“We need Hillary in the White House in 2016 or on the ticket in 2012,” an elderly man told Bill Clinton at a recent book signing here. The former president smiled, signed a copy of “Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy,’’ and assured the man he’d let his wife know: “I’ll pass that along to Hillary.”

Arkansas Democrats have been whispering for months that President Barack Obama would be smart to put Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the ticket as vice-president.

After all, it’s no secret Hillary is tired of logging miles as the 67th Secretary of State. She racked up 237,597 miles – as of Dec. 8, the latest date for totals – while visiting 45 countries and logging 506 hours of travel time in 2011. She has already said she doesn’t want a second term as Secretary of State.

When asked about her plans, the former president said, “She’s tired and she wants to come home” and “do the kind of work that I’m doing now.” But, he added, “It’s up to her to come and know what she intends to do.”

So, does that mean anything in particular about the former senator’s future plans? Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration, predicted in “Business Insider” last week that Obama will pick Hillary as vice president in a switcheroo that makes Biden secretary of state – “a position he’s apparently coveted for years,” Reich said. He said his prediction was not, however, based on any insider information.

This was manna for those Hillary supporters who have never abandoned hope that the former first lady

I bet the Lockerbie bomber would endorse the ticket.

I don’t care what people here say. If she is VP in 2012, we will lose. This cannot happen. She is very popular in the general public. We hate her here but we are 10 percent of the population. No the way to rid ourselves of Obama is for it to be an Obama/Biden ticket.

Putting Hillary on the ticket will make him look like a total failure. Like he couldn’t win on his own. Although it would be fun to bring out the ‘08 primary clips of the two of them.

This would probably be a brilliant move by obama. It would totally change the conversation, revitalize the base, and draw in any left over clintonites with attitude because of 2008. Nobody cares about Biden one way or the other, so it has essentially no down side and much potential upside.

Only question is if Hillary is up for it. Who knows, they all say they're not interested in VP, right up until they say 'yes.'

I agree. I hope it does not happen. I think lots of dems are talking this up now.

That settles it then. Romney will pick Hillary as his VP.

The perfect ticket.

All 50 States in a landslide;)

Obviously the elderly man is suffering from senility.

Never happen...but I can’t figure why she isn’t challenging him in the Primary. She’d whip him by a huge margin, and it could only help the RAT party.

Correct. If The One has been doing such an excellent job, saving us from a Bush Depression and planning the bin Laden raid, why should any such change be necessary?

She wouldn't do it. It would be a step down for her, but she would still have to travel to state funerals and such.

If she wants to run in 2016 she's better off not being so close to the failed Obama administration.

They might win with her on the ticket but he will never pick her as his VP.

His ego couldn't take the notion of needing Hillary as his savior, and it would only emphasize the notion that the Democrats picked the wrong nominee.
