If Hillary wins, who will she pick for Vice President?
The obvious choice is Obama, of course.

Would she do that?

Or would she go with the familiar and choose

... Bill ...

as her Vice?

1. She'll pick Obama; he'll establish a suitable price.

2. Not Bill. The 22nd Amendment prevents it
You can't be in the line of succession.

Obama is the first choice. I think they worked it out last Fall.

--p!

3. The only Bill she should consider is Bill Richardson
Can Bill Clinton legally serve as VP since he can't succeed Hillary if anything happens to her?

4. With the numbers that Obama is pulling she would be a fool not
too..Same with him, if he wins he should pick Hillary as VP.

Both of them need to realize if they haven't already this is bigger than just the two of them.....this is about saving this country and it's citizens. They need to put their egos aside and come together with the common goal of kicking the Republicans ass.

14. You know, if they REALLY put their differences aside (not sure they could
do that with their egos :7) and REALLY became a team, they'd pulverize the Reps.

And you're right - it is bigger than the both of them. It's CRUCIAL we get the WH in 2009.

5. She might be "encouraged" to pick Obama by the DNC. (Howard Dean has
said he'd like to have them on the ticket together.)

Or....Wes Clark (which I actually thought was a given when he endorsed her way back when).

15. Last year, I predicted she would choose Wes Clark if she got the nomination,
...but after seeing Obama's incredible ability to raise money and attract voters, she must be considering Obama.

13. Tom Vilsack
Someone in that mold. Maybe Evan Bayh. The only way it's Obama is if they are forced to make a deal because of deadlock.

18. If she chooses Bill for VP it would mean an automatic loss in November...
I would hope for Obama as it equals a mega-strong ticket...

But I would be very happy with Edwards or Biden (if they would do it) or Wes Clark.

20. If she feels strong, Evan Bayh. If she feels like she needs him, Obama.
She does need him, btw.
