Obama Has It! Hillary Clinton Wants To Be VP...Maybe!
I don't think he'll pick her as a running mate.
For one thing, it would go too much against his message of "change" to pick someone so representative of the establishment. Also, she has a huge organization of people who are loyal to HER not to him who would come along for the ride, and I'm not sure I would want that joining my campaign if I were him. I don't think I'd want Bill along for the ride either.
She should have conceded tonight and suspended her campaign and let him have his moment. I think the fact that she did not shows she puts herself and her own interests ahead of the party's best interests and ahead of Obama's interests. And it shows how hard she would be to work with. She would not be a good partner. I think if she had had any shot at all of getting on the ticket, she probably blew it tonight by not conceding graciously.
When I watched her speech, it seemed to me she kept making the case for how strong her hand is, even though it is clear she has lost. I got the impression of her PRESSURING him to pick her. There is no way he can afford to have it look like his first presidential decision was to cave in to pressure from Hillary Clinton!
