    Not her time

    Sen Clinton doesn't want to be Vice President. She can do much more in the Senate. She should meet with Obama and they should come out with a carefully crafted statement makes it clear that she declined it before he could ask her.

    Sen Obama wins if this election is about change. Sen Clinton does not represent change, both because she voted for the war and because of her husband. She is also the one person most energizes the evangelical right wing of the Republican Party.

    Sen Obama should pick someone like Sen Jim Webb, a strong opponent of the war who can help Sen Obama by virtue of his military service.
