Clinton had a good campaign and appeals to working class white folk...even though Obama's the one who's going to change the tax system like Kerry wanted to do.
Jim Webb served under Reagan, who ended the cold war, and he's a senator from a swing state.
Anyone think that Hillary would undermine Obama? I know it sounds weird but think about it. She wants to get in the White House by any means and I think she might still look at Obama like some inexperienced Negro. But I do agree that his chances of winning would increase if he ran with Hillary as his V.P. and she would still make history as the first female V.P. in U.S. history. Yippie.
While I think, at this moment, she seems like the most logical choice; a very real argument has been forwarded that it will represent little more than a slap in the face to Mr. Obama if the presidential candidate were forced to choose a VP because he or she was frightened of them.
Can we hear from anyone, even one, that considers themself a Cinton supporter that will not vote for Mr. Obama if she is not on the ticket?

According to polls about 14% will not vote for him. And I think another 30% or so said they wouldn't vote at all if she wasn't on the ticket. Meaning that he could lose like 20% of democrats if he doesn't include her.
Well if we take that I'm not sure whether PVS would vote for Clinton even if Obama was on the ticket as VP; then I think there is a likelihood of some of Clinton's supporters not voting or voting McCain.
The best political move would be to have Clinton as his VP, although I don't know how well they'd work together. Considering they have 95% the same policies I don't see why they couldn't though.
Someone like as mentioned Bill Richardson or Joe Biden would offer substance though.
I think they should amend your Constitution and make Madeleine Albright his running mate. She's smart and sexy.
That would be an interesting scenario that I could possibly see happening. Being only 55 years old, Edwards is more than young enough to go all potential 8 years with Obama then step in and run in 2016.
