Re: Hillary as VP
by john adkisson

Once Obama is elected I can see him pivoting on a dime to make Hillary his number one ally, and Bill doing the same. He can always shut her down if he has to, but I think she will take the lead on the issues she could never get through in the 90's. The word "change" is taking on a new meaning in this general election.

I think she passes the governance question.

It is the campaign qustion that lurks. Can she bring the Pennsylvania and Ohio working class she turned off to Obama in the Spring? If so, he's in.

Last night's Warren forum worried me. Someone has to supercharge Obama's delivery in the general. He has all the issues on his side and he needs to sound more like a regular democrat to attract the middle. The new voters are in the bag and will give him tons of slack.

He also has to broker the energy compromise.

I hope his staff is not only brilliant but flexible.
