I think Hillary would accept the VP slot, she has no alternative really, or she can say goodbye to her Presidential ambitions. Whether Obama would offer the it to her, I doubt it.... but I think there is always a chance..

What scares me most is not Hillary as VP in 2008. I will just do what I can to help McCain in that case. What scares me is Hillary in 2012 if Obama loses in 2008. I want to put the final nail in Hillary's coffin once and for all.

No way! There is no way that woman will accept second fiddle. We're talking about Hillary. It's all or nothing for her.

P.S. I think Hillary in any leadership position in the Senate (esp Senate Majority Leader) is a liability for the Democrats. Hillary is a damn cartoon character, a circus clown or freak. Just fodder for Fox News. Democrats put her in a position of greater power at their own expense.

I think Hillary will accept the position. Barring Larry Sinclair's gay sex drugged up with Obama story somehow coming true, there is no way she can get the nomination now. Hillary will see the VP slot as the chance for a future shot at the Presidency. This bitch just has to be slammed off course from any chance at the Presidency or chair positions in the Senate.

I just like Sebelius better because she's from a more red state and she's more photogenic than Napolitano. Your argument works too.

Let's be honest. She has made a spectacle of herself in this presidential run. In the current state of affairs, I doubt Harry Reid would let her park in the Capitol parking lot. She is, however, very ambitious...anything could happen...


As far as her stooping to accept the second spot, I think she should be so lucky...She would even be willing to grovel for it...in a dignified 'senatorial' way of course..

Bro
I'm gonna go ahead and declare this one the "Humor Moment of the Day"
(just a thing my friends and I have)

This tickled me to no end.

I think she would certainly accept the offer; I believe Keith Olberman said last week (or one of his guests) that Obama would need a food tester were this to happen.
I don't believe he would offer it to her. It goes against all he has been saying about no politics as usual.
Possibly off-topic--
I just realized today that we still have almost a whole damn month to go before the Pennsylvania primary. A month!
This is driving me absolutely insane.

But back to the OT.
If it were President McCain or VP Clinton----sorry WEB, gotta break ranks with you here; I'd still vote for Obama.

I'd actually rather have her in a (mostly) powerless VP slot than in some position of greater power in the Senate.
(plus, you know, getting Obama in the oval)
