Why was Hillary not even asked ,or Vetted for V.P?

Question

Was it, from all the hard words from the campaign. and it took it's toll,and thought it was time to part friendships. and partnerships..

Answer 1

Obama has too much pride to consider Clinton for VP even though she was the strongest second place candidate with 18 million votes. Instead, he chose Biden who finished last with 9,000 votes. I'm not so sure he made the right choice.

Answer 2

Well, I heard it was because Obama's wife, Michelle, opposes Hilliary's views.  You remember what Obama said in the Rick Warren debates, that his wife was one of the three people whose opinion he trusted most - LOL!

Answer 3

There was never any real possibility that Hillary would be the VP pick for Obama.  It's probably also the case that no real vetting was needed after all that had been done on her over the years while she was gaining all of her experience.  But to add Hillary would be an absolute nightmare, and even more the case if he were to win the election.

Answer 4

I guess Obama decided that he did not want to be President.

Without Hillary and Bills election machine he does not stand a chance.

Perhaps she wants McCain to win so she can run again in 4 years; she cannot run against an incumbent Democrat, it would be suicide.

Maybe she manipulated him into picking another; she is THAT smart and Obama is not the sharpest knife in the drawer unless he is reading off of a script.

Answer 5

My guess is that she was and she said "thanks, but no thanks" to the Obama team.  I also don't believe Biden was the 2nd choice since he's a Washington insider and certainly doesn't represent any of the "change" that Obama has been talking about for months.  This appears to be a last-ditch effort by Obama to save his run for the presidency since he's been falling in the polls recently.  Will it be enough?  We'll see.

Answer 6

Hillary was supposed to be the nominee, but she lost to an upstart with less experience than herself. Second place for a Clinton will never do & a first place finish for a Clinton will never happen again, America is tired of them.
