2. I think she should be somewhere in a BO admin.
She has a lot to contribute - when she is not trying to defeat someone else.

4. I wouldn't think she'd want the VP slot. She has great stature and credentials on her
own and 8 years from now she would still be a viable candidate. I agree with the poster above...she has a lot more to contribute.

16. She understands the risk and...
I agree with you. She'll just let him crash and burn on his own in November.

19. Obama, if elected, is in for a big surprise.
Clinton is not going to be demoted to the position of White House Tutor. She'll wield her power in the Senate just fine and let Obama take the hard knocks by himself.

22. I think so too
She's great in the Senate, but she will be better as president.

5. I think she would make an excellent Attorney General or Secretary of State. She has much to offer
an Obama administration and the country in general.

6. I don't think it matters where she is in the admin. as long as she is a
contributing member... along with Biden perhaps, Dodd, and Edwards.. I would like to see him pick Bill Richardson to be the VP... The more I think about it, that would be a really good ticket... Edwards for AG, and Clinton on the Education side.. she is really strong on education, and after reading through GD:P, I think its apparent someone good needs to take over this dept. and make it stronger.

... if she wants to remain a power broker in Washington, should ought to get someone loyal to her on the ticket with Obama.

10. Nobody would want a co-vice-presidency on the ticket.

14. an incredible bit of analysis here
thanks for the detailed post about the vp position

it had never occurred to me that hillary and obama might not want to take the veep position on each other's tickets. considering that they can't stand to be in the same room with one another, it never, ever would have crossed my mind that a) obama might not want hillary on his ticket and b) hillary might not want to accept the veep position

**sarcasm**

15. IMHO, I think if you have a Senator at the top of the ticket, you
need a non-Senator at the bottom, like a Wes Clark or Bill Richardson with oodles of CEO/or/FP/or both experiences.

Think Governors and Generals guys :hi:

17. Nope - she could build a great career in the Senate
that would be more meaningful than VP, I'd think.

18. Hasn't NO been posted enough times?
Every day brings another person asking the same question and the answer is still the same. Clinton would not accept second spot nor will it be offered.

No. Obama will not select Clinton for VP. No. Clinton will not select Obama for VP.

21. I hope she wins
...because if the media does it's job, well - there's going to be fireworks all around Obama. McCain like stuff. Sad to say, and ugly stuff too. But there it is. So far the liberal media has done a great job of covering what is all over the internet.

I have made up my mind to vote for Hillary because of Obama's comments about Reagan being such a great thinker. Reagan busted the unions, people were sleeping under bridges, etc. That is not "good thinking" or "great ideas". Funny the tv outlets have not mentioned these great ideas in a long time. Not since Reagan was in office.

24. I don't think so and I hope not
She wouldn't do anything but bring the ticket down in the polls.

25. When the Obama-cans
vote republican in the GE, who will be left to vote for Obama? Hillary is very popular in my area, and she won my state in closed primaries. Has Obama even won a closed primary yet? caucasses can be manipulated too easily. Everyone whould have closed primaries. The Obama-cans are voting for him for one reason, and one reason only - to beat Hillary out of the nomination. Then they go back home and become reps. again for the GE. A republican always votes republican. I think we all know that.
