THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BELOW ARE JUST THE OPINIONS OF ONE OF OUR CAST MEMBERS AND DOES NOT REFLECT THE VIEW OF THE ENTIRE STAFF

Recently I heard an interview on the Imus in the Morning Show (yes he's back on the radio). Imus asked a Democratic Party operative, I think it was Paul Begala, who would be on the Democratic ticket for president and vice-president.
The operative said he'd not be surprised if it was a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket. His logical logic was they would be able to work together and it would be encouraged by the party in order to bring the currently divided party together.

This concept is not new.
In 1980, after fellow candidate for the Republican party nomination, George Herbert Walker Bush, called Governor Ronald Wilson Reagan's economic plan "voodoo economics", he was picked to be Reagan's vice-presidential running mate.
In 2004, John Kerry took rival John Edwards as a partner to unseat President George W Bush.

However, I seriously doubt that the two candidates will be running mates in this election cycle.
Let's examine the issue.
I can see why Senator Clinton would agree to take Obama as her vice-president. But I cannot see Hillary Rodham agreeing to be a vice-presidential candidate. I think that she would feel that she'd have a greater impact as the junior senator from New York than as the vice-president.
Obama has the motivation of gaining some very powerful experience if he were tapped to be vice-president of the United States, but I think he understands that there's a great deal of reluctance on the part of Americans to deal with anyone who is involved with the Clinton-Bush regimes (In the debate of Jan. 31, 2008, one of the questions to Hillary was why should we elect another Bush-Clinton family member?). In 4 to 8 years from now, when he would try to run again for the presidency, the stench of working with the Clintons would harm him greater than the benefits of gaining vice-presidential experience. Also, he must have seen that having the clintons backing in future election cycles didn't help Albert Gore or John F Kerry. So, that benefit shouldn't motivate him to join Hillary's ticket.
The final permutation is also unlikely. Obama would have to watch his back at all times if Hillary were his partner. Already a newscaster has raised the specter of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the worry that Obama might do well to get extra security. Add in all the racial crap that the Clintons have been piling on Obama and the elixir gets more and more poisonous.
Does Barack want that from his "closest ally" 24/7 for the next 4 years? I doubt it.

I think it's much more likely for Edwards to be picked, again, to join the candidate's ticket. Especially if Hillary wins.
I hope Obama chooses someone else, because the way it looks now, I think he'll be getting my vote and I don't want Edwards that close to the presidency.
