I wish it had happened sooner, but better late than never.

The 2 of them together will be an unstoppable force and will push turnout to levels never seen in a general election in our lifetime...at least for the democratic side. Maybe enough to get a 60 vote Senate Super Majority. That could put a quick end to the Bush nightmare, and prevent any long term damage.

Obama agreed to pay some of Clinton's debts. This is the quid pro quo.

I don't know that that would be best for her, for him, or for the party. But I *do* think she should have some direct contribution to the Obama presidency. A Cabinet position or task force leadership, maybe? Something that will suit her talents and skills, and let HRC supporters feel she's being valued.

(I had thought Edwards for AG, but if he's the VP, I cold see HRC in that spot...)

I hadn't considered the possibility that a joint appearance would fuel more Clinton-as-VP speculation, but maybe I'm just a little slow this morning.

There's no question that I'd still vote for Obama, but I don't think they're a good combination and I have a hard time understanding why Clinton would want the spot.

Hmmm. Actually, it occurs to me that the joint Obama-Clinton appearance might be a good time to introduce a VP choice who isn't Clinton ...

I just hope he's ready for all that sniper fire she seems to attract...

One can guess that if no V.P. announcement comes next week, then the issue is likely not there for Hillary as V.P.

It'd be a great time to announce the ticket, and to get the full power of the ticket it would have to be an early nod.

If nothing comes out at this meeting I'm guess it's just a "Gee Obama is a great leader, the best man for the job no doubt (friendly chuckle)" Kind of event, not a worry about that, great for both of them to find their own centers of power and consolidate together for a better tomorrow etc. etc.

Recent polls shows that Barak doesn't need Hillary to win Pennsylvania and Ohio, so if they do announce, why it can only mean that maybe...Shudder...they are both adult capable politicians who realized that they actually do work well together and Obama is looking for a solid active V.P.

You know, I am willing to trust the man with unilateral controll of nuclear weapons, I think I can trust him to pick his own V.P.

Senator Clinton has a great deal of pluses, and would make a great very strong active V.P. But she may not be the best choice for Obama for what ever reason.

As always, it's just fun to watch the show.

But not for the reasons you're thinking.

As far as her effect on the campaign, Ithink it would be a plus, or a wash, but not a negative. Still I think she could be far more effective separted from the campaign, and acting as attack dog. Do what you do best, and let Obama take the high road, as he has done thus far.

Along those same lines, she should be appointed Sec. of State - A good use of her talents in this area, and a good balance to Obama's relative inexperience in foreign policy.

Although, if it meant seeing Limbaughs head spin around until it popped off like a cork, I'd support a SCOTUS nod.

If McCain picks Condi for VP soon, the Republicans will get all sorts of positive attention for "trumping" the Democrats' drawn-out nitter-natter on the "first woman" topic.

After that, if Barack picked Hillary, he probably would be dismissed as just a copycat. If Barack picks any man before McCain picks Condi, McCain still will get all the positive "first woman" blow-back. The only way for Barack to come out ahead on this spin current would be to pick Hillary very soon.

It will be great to seem them working together. Hopefully Obama will comes to his senses and puts her on the ticket

Should be every Democrats' wet dream. A chance to revisit every security and foreign policy decision of the past 8 years: priceless.

for his V.P., I don't care who it is, the election is over. Now that the major oil companies are officially exercising their modern day version of Manifest Destiny (in Iraq) the veil has been lifted once and for all as to why we are really there. Oil man Bushit and his OPEC buddy Saudi Arabia will now have control over a large portion of the world's oil reserves, as planned.

The lifted veil will allow the Dems to point this little ditty out and it's off to the races. Bomb, bomb, bombing Iran (and then occupying it) would solidify the neocon dream of world ideological dominance. That was the plan under the guise of "freedom". You all remember freedom don't you? Better take a picture of it. After the FISA vote today you'll be one colluded step away from the antithesis of freedom here in the good 'ol USA. Nauseating.

I predict absolutely nothing. This is a wait and see moment. God only knows how Hillary will come off, hopefully with style and grace but I’m not holding my breath. Hillary as VP destroys the change mantra and thus destroys the campaign, she is a non-plus. I don't think Condi Rice, who has proved herself to be the most ineffective Secretary of State as well as National Security Advisor in the last 100 years would be a big feather in McLame's campaign cap either. A VP pick like that would link him even more to Bush's disastrous terms.. Whatever you're smoking, I want some too.

I'm sure she's a lovely woman. And clearly she's well-educated. But O.M.G. people! She would be a huge liability for McCain! She's made some pretty *huge* mistakes in the Bush administration. And she certainly won't win over the racist/sexist bloc.

If Obama wants to choose a woman as vp, I hope he chooses Sebelius. She'll bring executive branch experience and she'll be popular. The usual counter-argument is that Sebelius doesn't have foreign policy experience, but what foreign policy experience does Hillary have (other than drinking tea with the wives of heads of state)?

Hillary on the ticket will convince conservatives to vote in this election, when they might have chosen to sit this one out. Sebelius on the ticket will force McCain to fight --and spend-- in states he might otherwise be able to take for granted.
