Reply #13: The question I have is, would she be a team player if she were on the ticket? [View All]

The reason I worry about it, other than the high negatives that could scare away independents and disgruntled Republicans, is that I worry that if she is on his ticket, it may be in her interest for them to lose so that she gets another chance in 4 years. If he feels he can trust her then he should consider it, if she wants it. But that's a big if. The VP nominee should not be trying to overshadow the nominee and should offer input but ultimately defer to the nominee on strategy. If she can't do that then she should not be on the ticket.

One thing you should keep in mind, though, is that if she and her supporters decide to sit this out and let him go down, especially if she continues to do everything she can before dropping out to make Obama look illegitimate as she has been doing, Obama's supporters will fight to their death to keep her from getting another chance in 2012. I know I'm saving up money now to max out to both another Democrat running against her for the nomination and/or any Democrat who challenges her for her Senate seat should I feel she or her supporters did anything to sabotage Obama this year. So you're mistaken if you expect a coronation in 4 years if Obama loses.
