Thread: Why Obama Will Pick Hillary as VP

In a political context, the Democrats will have an almost sure win come November, and Obama will pick Hillary as his VP candidate. While Hillary's supporters are politically posturing regarding not voting for Obama, the same can be said about another race: McCain 2000, when McCain supporters by and large claimed they would not vote for Bush. They did anyway, and Hillary supporters will likely vote Obama. But, with a Hillary VP on the Obama ticket, it's a done deal, and the McCain campaign will likely wither in the face of the Hillary/Obama machine.

Given today's political climate of posturing and pandering to the masses, this decision would make sense for Obama. Being that many so called Conservatives label him as "left", a centrist Hillary Clinton would greatly even out his ticket, thus grabbing a wide spectrum of voters. It's a perfect marketing strategy- and it will work.

One question: has this been planned for some time?

Michele Obama will never allow that.

Thats ridiculous. Why would she bitch about it if she gets to live at 1600 PA ave and ride around the world on her hubby's jumbo jet? It's not like he's gonna fuck her!

Because, Michele Obama fears that the Clinton's would rain on her parade and siphon off power from her.

Not only that I have said in another post the reason why. You should read it. http://www.ballot.com/hotwire/24061-...a-clinton.html

She would just have to get past it, because Barack needs Hillary and Hillary needs Barack. It would secure a move to the White House- Rezko not needed in this case.

i find it hilarious that people can make such absurd claims like "michelle will never allow that..." as if they have a fucking CLUE what michelle obama wants or thinks or will "allow".

where does this completely unsubstantiated "knowledge" of what michelle thinks or wants come from? peoples massive political knowledge egos? where? can you point to one shred of evidence that michelle is some power hungry bitch?

I don't know enough about Michelle Obama to make any claims about what she wants or doesn't want.

Hillary, on the other hand I do know, wants to be President, and VP with Obama seems like the likely road to get there.

I thought that for awhile, but Michelle Obama wants that WH power as much as Obama does, she'll relent.

The thing that would stop a hillary from being chosen for VP is Bill Clinton. Can you imagine having both of them hanging around, waiting, hoping you'll die? Barrring that, just make life in the WH miserable.
