I for one never believed Hillary would ever seriously consider the VP slot under Obama. I just could not believe that a Clinton would play backup to anyone. I just might have been wrong. The Clintons are if anything very clever on matters political and their political advisers are among the best. From the Hillary point of view here is my attempt at deconstruction of the pros and cons of the under ticket for Hillary.
Pro:
It is her shot at making history, first female VP.
She does not give up her Senate seat if Obama loses. (Neither will Obama)
If Obama wins, it’ll be 2016 and she’ll be 68 before the next available election cycle, another run just might not be possible, 2nd acts in politics are rare.
Obama may not make it till the end of his term or terms, do the Clintons know of some latent scandal????
If Obama loses, Hillary will been seen as the good party soldier and be the presumptive (again) front runner in 4 years. Far from being the dream ticket, this just might be McGovern 08
Running with Obama would mend fences with his supporters including the black faction and would bring her back into good graces with them.
Con:
Michelle will bury her so deep in the bowels of the White House.
She’d give up being Senator, quite arguably the best job in the world. Like how hard or demanding could the job be if Dodd, Liberman, Obama, Big Mac, and Hillary never have to show up for work? Also, Teddy is hanging on to his seat and he has brain cancer. Ted has a tough road ahead of him, I find it hard to believe he can do the citizens of Mass justice.
Obama Con:
Bill (oh! how delicous would that be!)
The Clintons have been known to suck all the oxygen out of a room.
Believe me I am no Clinton fan, either of them, but I have to give the Senator her due. I admire her “stickin” and her energy, she never gave up.
Of course there is the theory that she is forcing Obama to refuse her thus inflaming even more the “angry white women base” thus ensuring Obama’s defeat and setting up a second run in 2012.
