When Ronald Reagan selected George Bush as his running mate in 1980, he chose someone who had harshly criticized him on the campaign trail. But Bush never came close to making the kind of racially-tinged and lacerating attacks against Reagan that have become Clinton's stock in trade in her race against Obama. The idea that Obama's army of small donors would actually compensate the fabulously rich Clintons for launching such aggressive, hateful attacks is more galling still. Magnanimity is one thing. Spinelessness is another. Yes, there will be a place for Clinton loyalists in any Democratic administration, even the most craven Clinton loyalists. But surely there has to be some limit. - R. Salam

Hillary would go for VP because she does not want to lose any chance of becoming president - it could be from some Obama Presidential catastrophe, or perhaps, after 4 years, Obama steps down. She wants the title bad.
