The Veep used to be the guy who lost the Pres. election. Under those rules McLame would be Veep. I think they changed it because it gives a lot of people a lot of incentive to off the Pres. Cuts both ways!
I didn’t know that! Yeah, it would be a great incentive.
Of course, the big joke in 2008 was whether or not Obama would tap Hillary as his VP choice. Probably didn’t for two reasons: 1) the Clinton co-presidency, and 2) Hillary’s limitless capacity to take any measure necessary to further her or Bill’s ambitions.
Calling her for Secretary of State was a brilliant move to keep her busy (and her mouth shut) and guarantee her behavior. After all, bad as Barry is, who would want to report to Joe Biden?
