The Clinton Double Ticket
Will Obama pick Clinton as his running mate?
Well, does Obama really want to be co-president? Not with Hillary, but with Bill. Doubtful.
Finally there is some admittance that Bill Clinton may not be the savior and hero that liberals make him out to be, or at least remember him to be. As Hillary is being discussed as a possible running mate of Obama, creating a sure win for the democrats, some are questioning that idea.
One simple reason is that when you get Hillary you get Bill. Some of Clinton’s own strategists are skeptical that Obama would bring her on because of the package deal including her husband. The package includes a former president that had sexual relations with an intern in the oval office, a president impeached for lying, a president that did nothing really of importance internationally. A president that allowed the economy to ebb and flow as normal, admittedly with no real problems, but also didn’t really accomplish anything great. And of course Obama would get Hillary.
It seems Obama may fear that baggage, and also fear it could discredit his whole “Change”, or “Washington Outsider” appeal. A former president doesn’t really fit in with those slogans.
He won’t choose Hillary. Although you never know.
