I've though Hillary should be VP for several months. Not just for electoral advantages, but also for the amusement of all the exploding heads.
Hillary will not be VP, because only one represents a modest break with the same old same old, and it ain't Hillary. It would utterly nullify the premise of Obama's campaign and energize the 56% who find her untrustworthy or who outright can't stand her. We don't need the drama. We don't need the media endlessly speculating as to what the VP and her wandering husband are up to. We especially don't need the highly choleric Bill Clinton within a mile of the White House with his extraordinary sensitivity and his 132 million dollar "library" donations, which activities are only beginning to be unraveled.
Again, I don't see how picking a woman to be a vice presidential candidate would go against Obama's message of "change".
And if/when they win, she would be the first female vice president ever. Sounds like big change...but if your primary wounds are still raw and you insist on buying into the savage media's portrayal of the Clintons...then that's your prerogative.
Not buying into anything other than many, many bad votes and bellicose rhetoric by Hillary, sorry if you can't handle that. Carly Fiorina would be a woman, and it would be change, but it would be for the worse. See how that works? And don't ever kid yourself that the media are the ones who did anything other than proclaim from the start that Hillary was inevitable.
However, the only polling on the matter shows that Hillary increases O's chances in the general. The GOP is conditioned to hate Democrats - I don't think Hillary will energize them to any significant degree that O will not.
As for what will happen after the election, I think O is strong enough to handle them in the White House if they start causing trouble (though I don't think they will).
