7. I voted neither would accept being the other's VP.
Edited on Sun Mar-09-08 05:08 AM by Window
I believe this for so many reasons, and they are all swirling around in my head, but I'll take a stab.

1. Hillary wouldn't accept because I think she truly believes that it is her turn and she deserves to be the first woman president. She's been planning and preparing for a long, long time.

2. Plenty of people want change and hope, but will not/cannot accept two minorities -- a female and a black -- at the same time. I believe they both know this.

3. I think Hillary is genuinely angry with Obama for daring to, not only run against her, but for doing it better. He blind-sided her and she never saw it coming. Hence, she's been on the defensive and has to play catch up, which I don't think she can. Also, hence, her kitchen sink strategy.

4. Obama wouldn't/shouldn't accept because he is, after all, winning.

5. If Obama doesn't genuinely dislike Hillary, he should. She's gone further negative against him than is necessary and/or proper for a fellow democratic opponent.

I have lots of other reasons why I don't think it can/will work for either of them, but my puter is acting up.
