Talk of a unity ticket is "bargaining"
Advertisements [?]
The Kübler-Ross model of grieving describes precisely what the talk of a unity ticket is, bargaining.

The model is simple:

1) Denial - She can still win!
2) Anger - I'll NEVER vote for Obama
3) Bargaining - She should bee the Vice PResident, we need a unity ticket to win.
4) Depression - I'm sure some are here, and this is the most difficult phase of any grieving process (I supported Dean in 2004).
5) Acceptance

It's clear there won't be a unity ticket. A presidential candidate cannot afford a vice presidential candidate who is as boisterous as he is. You cannot run a team as a co-presidency. Not only that, but Hillary doesn't really stand to gain anything frpom being Obama's veep.

Not to mention the fact that an Obama administration cannot afford a wild card connected to his administration named Bill.

But keep your heads high. Don't let the blues get you down, Hillary supporters. Depression is coming and it can be a bear.
