Talk of a unity ticket is "bargaining"
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.

2. Or... maybe it's talk
of putting together the best ticket to win in November.

I know you guys think you win this with only the votes of internet jerkoffs and college kids, but that's not going to happen. You'll need a bit more than that.

6. IML is the new LOL
caveman style.

Why do cavemen always gotta draw guys spearing the broadside of animals for food. Why can't they ever draw love, art, and insurance sales supervisors.
