Camp Clinton: If We Top The Ticket, We’ll Team Up
None other than Bill Clinton himself is floating the idea that so long as Hillary tops the ticket, Obama is more than welcome to a secondary role. Or rather a tertiary role behind him and Hillary.
Today, however, the President seemed especially tickled by the answer, and chose to share with his personal thoughts on picking Obama as a VP.
"She said yesterday and she said the day after her big wins in Texas and Ohio and Rhode Island that she was very open to that and I think she answered explicitly yes yesterday," Clinton began, referring to Hillary's own answers on the topic in recent days.
"I know that she has always been open to it, because she believes that if you can unite the energy and the new people that he’s brought in and the people in these vast swaths of small town and rural America that she’s carried overwhelmingly, if you had those two things together she thinks it’d be hard to beat. I mean you look at the, you look at the, you look at the map of Texas and the map in Ohio. And the map in Missouri or — well Arkansas’s not a good case because they know her and she won every place there. But you look at most of these places, he would win the urban areas and the upscale voters, and she wins the traditional rural areas that we lost when President Reagan was president. If you put those two things together, you’d have an almost unstoppable force," Clinton went on to say.
All it will cost is for Obama to give up his lead in delegates. And his pride. And his hopes for a future in the big chair. All minor things to the Clinton ambitions.

Obama would be a fool to settle for Veep. He wouldn’t play a significant role in the Administration; Hillary and Bill would freeze him out, leaving with nothing to do but go to funerals and preside over the Senate. Plus, he’ll tick off a huge block of his supporters. For his political future, he’s better off declining the Veep spot nd positioning himself for 2012.
