Can Obama (if he is our Nominee) stop Hillary from TAKING the Number 2 spot? Probably not. [View All]

[DemVet]

I've done a lot of reading on this...from both sides of the aisle. (I read everything...I think it developes ones political awareness as well as reasoning and debating skills)

Anyway, Hillary is going in to the convention with almost 50% of everything...Pledged Delegates, Popular Vote, and Superdelegates.

In addition to the roll call votes for President, in which I still think something may be brewing in the Clinton campaign as far as the credentials and rules committees, there are roll call votes for the Veep. The convention does not have to vote for the Nominee's choice for Veep.

I think it would be hard for the convention, particularly Hillary "pledged" and superdelegates, to deny her the spot if she got up to the podium and said she wanted it. This is especially true since she brings certain demographics to vote for Obama that may not otherwise.
