Again, the only way for Dems to be CERTAIN to win, is to have an Obama/Clinton ticket. Without it, he is far too vulnerable to defeat.
With other VP candidates, he is bringing on unknowns and certainly much less experience and depth. He needs a strong compliment and a strong base to get the numbers needed. Alone, he is tied with McCain in popularity (as of this posting) and behind him in fundraising. After eight years of Bush, should McBush be this close to keeping the status quo by winning the White House?
Obama's courting of the middle has left many disillusioned about his dedication to the left and by his ease and comfort with flip-flopping. Because he is looking more and more political and less and less infallible, people are having second thoughts and buyer's remorse. YET, dems still want a ticket they can get behind.
There are 18 million people backing Clinton who would still love to see her on the ticket. With those 18 million votes, Obama cannot lose. If he does not pick her, I fear its the last nail in the coffin of his historic run.

* She’s experienced and a team player who would be a strong partner to help Senator Obama change Washington.

I dunno, Tejanamama...I still don't trust HC...and in some ways I think an "unknown" would be a better VP than Obama's former opponent. If I could vote, I would totally vote Democratic, though!
Good think I'm not American, eh? ;) But bad that we up north have no say. I hate McCain.
It isn't a matter of liking her. It is a matter of getting the dem ticket to WIN. It really doesn't stand a chance otherwise. This should be in the bag and its not. He needs someone who has a built in voting block. HE NEEDS voters. DO you know what the VP does? Anyone can "be" a VP, but for election purposes, you need a compliment to attract votes. Yeah, good thing you are canadian! lol. You need to follow all current events tho, just so you know the deal on BO. I really have a hard time backing him and it gets harder every day!!!! Sad cuz I am a diehard dem...but I'm thinking its time to become an independent!
