It also makes sense that she would propose it, since she seems to be the one that's behind right now, even if she is making a comeback. While it's news that they are actually considering it, it's hardly a new idea, and it's pretty much what's done in every election ever.

After being VP for 8 years no one could lay the "inexperienced" rap on him. But although it would make sense, it will never happen. Obama has way too much ego to play second fiddle to Hillary in a position that is largely nothing.
Originally Posted By jonvn "they have differing viewpoints on a lot of things," I think they are very much alike on just about everything, really.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I could possibly see Obama doing it. Unlikely, but maybe. No way I see Hillary accepting the Veep spot. She's lived in the White House - I don't think she has any particular ambition to live in Blair House.
Originally Posted By Sport Goofy I don't think Hillary would except the VP nod and campaign with Obama unless he shifted gears and adopted her health care plan. That seems to be the one subject that really motivates her the most. I can't imagine she would compromise and join forces with someone that wasn't advocating a universal health care program.
