Your continuous drum pounding for a VP slot for Hillary is disingenuous, much like the media's calliope music for a non-stop primary. As a matter of fact, she has not "earned the right to be Obama's vice president" as you suggest, since no such right exists. It is the sole right and responsibility of the nominee and his advisers to make the choice of a running mate who will create the best balance for the ticket. There exists no bronze medal or consolation prize here.
