Vice President Hillary Clinton?
Would Barack Obama consider Hillary Clinton as his Vice President? Are the Clintons pushing the idea?
It is possible to muscle your way into a vice presidential nod: You have something the nominee wants, and he has to give it to you.
The question is: Does Hillary Clinton have that kind of muscle?
Her victories in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and her strength with women and white working-class voters have fueled the argument that Barack Obama must put her on the ticket if he wins the nomination and wants those states and those votes in the fall.
And, as a senior Obama adviser told me Wednesday, some Clinton supporters are “pushing real, real hard to get her on the ticket.â€
Flap recommends Obama select Hillary.
Why?
It would be a disaster for the Obama in the fall and should Obama win – the ultimate nightmare.
For the election the GOP wuld drudge up all of the Clinton baggage – not real change you can believe in but the same ol’ Clinton triangulation.
After an Obama victory, can you imagine having Hillary and Bill again in the White House and down the hall from the Oval Office?
Hillary as Vice President will NOT happen.
