Original article: A chick-less ticket?

You are correct; she does have good experience. She has done well in working with Republicans (even converting some!). Her views are in line with Obama's. But who is she going to bring to our side? I cannot see her bringing votes that are not already Obama's. Her speech after the 2008 State of the Union Address was awful, both in concept and delivery. I would love to have her as the governor of my state (adios, Blago) but it is imperative that progressives take back the White House and I would feel more assured if someone else was Obama's running mate.
