Barack Obama better choose Hillary Clinton as VP...

[Bursche]

Having Clinton as Obama's VP is good and bad.

Good in that all the Clinton supporters will back Obama. Clinton had great turnouts in the "battleground" states, which can help Obama in the general election. But if she is not chosen, not only would he be disadvantaged in that respective, her supporters might vote for McCain, who is catering to their pleas.

Bad in that Republicans HATE CLINTON. Many Republicans might not vote for Obama because they despise Clinton and her healthcare plans. Thus the republicans and some independents will be united against her instead of for McCain.

Personally, Obama should pick a Southern Democrat in a battleground state in order to help balance his ticket. A conservative Democrat would be very nice seeing as Obama is so left.


As for McCain, he should pick someone from the West to help balance the ticket in those states. Maybe a minority. I would love to see Condi Rice or Colin Powell, but I doubt it. Republicans are generally stupid in seeing the importance in a good running mate (see both conservative Bush and Cheney). He should pick someone very conservative to help quell those from the far right about his more moderate views, and he can FINALLY QUIT BEING THE FAKE FAR RIGHT POLITICIAN HE IS PLAYING.

Im voting for the McCain of 2000 and 2004, not the one right now. I hope to god he is just trying to cater to the right-wing instead of changing into a quasi-Bush. Hopefully I am right.
