Plus Obama would have to basically get Clinton to sign in blood that she wouldn't challenge him in re-election in 2012. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius or Gov. Bill Richardson are much better choices as VP. Even Webb or Hagel are better ideas than Clinton. With clinton, you are just handing her four years to chip away at Obama's popularity whenever she can and then stab him in the back in 2012. It really is a shame - I went into this primary season liking both candidates and was willing to accept either (and would still 100% vote for a democrat over a republican in this election) but Hillary Clinton lost so much of my respect and she has no one else to blame for that but herself.
