Who Could Hillary Clinton Choose as Her Vice President?
Clinton has suggested that she wouldn't mind running with Barack Obama. To many democrats, this is a ticket of change. The two of them together could do amazing things for the United States. It would bring diversity to Washington in a way that has never been done. Clinton has the experience; Obama has the fresh ideas and the drive for change. Obama could also use the vice presidency as a stepping stone to run for a future election. It is unclear whether Obama is humble enough to settle for vice presidency. That is the only thing stopping this dream ticket.
Joe Bidden would also make an excellent choice for a running mate. Biden has a lot of support from the far left, and he also has a lot of experience. The only thing stopping this powerful match is Bill Clinton! Joe Biden is a fire cracker and he is not going to let Bill Clinton interfere with his vice presidency. Bill Clinton would definitely have a tremendous influence on a Hillary Clinton presidency and I don't Bidden would be able to handle that.
Two current governors, Ted Strickland and Bill Richardson, could also be good running mates for Hillary Clinton. They both have experience in the executive branch, and would help Clinton gain more credibility. Richardson is friend of the Clintons, and Strickland s the governor of one of the most important states in the 2008 election. Even though Richardson supports Obama, he could easily switch sides if Clinton is chosen as the presidential nominee.
What about General Wesley Clark? He would give Clinton a lot of credibility in terms of national security. Clark is a patriot and has a likability factor Clinton doesn't have. He has also been seen at Hillary Clinton fundraisers. There really are no negatives with this combination. Conservatives wouldn't be able to through as many arrows at Clinton's stance on national security. This match would be as powerful as a Clinton Obama Campaign.
John Edwards, Al Gore, and Michael Bloomberg would also make great vice presidents, but these are all unlikely. Edwards has already denounced the position. He has already run for vice president once, and doesn't plan on running again. Gore hasn't expressed interest in the position either, and he probably doesn't want to play second fiddle to a Clinton again; especially one who is less qualified to be president then he is. Bloomberg has better chances the Gore and Edwards, but Clinton will probably choose someone in the Democratic Party.
Hillary Clinton should choose a strong running mate. Her running mate cannot be a polarizing figure. She needs someone who is honest and likeable in the public's eyes. Her running mate should have a solid background and a great deal of experience.

Post a CommentIt seems like the only one that doesn't know that it is over is Hillary. Since it worked for her before, I guess she could try crying again. Hillary is the very definition of raw, ruthless ambition. Afro-American America is about to get the first real look at who the Clintons really are. And it won't be pretty.
Hillary crying is for real - give me a break!!
I think at this point she would definitely have to pass on Bill Richardson, who even though he was a member of Bill Clinton's cabinet, publicly gave his support to Barack Obama. What about Barack and Hil together? Yeah, like that would ever happen~
Personally I Love seeing the attention Hillary is getting again, and I feel so many people were misled in the beginning with wanting to Vote for Obama. With her winning Pennsylvania the other day, I feel this is the Boost and push she needed. Honestly I have heard it said that a lot of the people wish there was a do over, and they would Vote Hillary now instead. I am 100% a Hillary backer now, and hope somehow she will be our next President. Just hope she can find a strong enough backer for her as VP to help her win it all.
Clinton has an ego problem, a truth problem, and a morality problem. Anyone with more of any of these than she will not be chosen as her VP. Her choice will basically be a power trip of whom she thinks she can outshine and control.

Spam like this demeans people who are trying to do good work. It cheapens the Associated Content "brand." I can't blame you. All's this outfit seems to want is the same two "page" platform to hang Google AdSense ads on. Instead of dissing you, I should take my content elsewhere.

This is not a thorough analysis. This is just spam.
Good article! I used to think Barack Obama would be a good choice for her VP but not any longer.
Wesley Clark would be a great choice to bring in moderate (and even conservative) voters. Hillary needs a more conservative running mate. Bill was a successful president because he was able to govern from the center.
