One doesn't have to be a part of the right to understand that the baggage Hillary brings to the General Election in 08 would be easy to target in a General election.

The question as I see it is what will Obama do if Hillary is the no.1 nominee and she were to ask him to fill the VP slot.

I tend to believe that Hillary would ask him, knowing that he would bring strength to the ticket. Hillary doesn't exactly inspire the younger voter that Obama appeals to------she can bring in the middleaged to older feminist and very few men.

The question then becomes does Obama want to risk losing the election as a VP because of Hillary's negatives-----or if the election were lost because of Hillary consider that he has positioned himself for 2012.

Look for Obama to start taking off as the electorate becomes familiar with him. Obama's grassroots movement is incredible.

Do you trust these polls which show Hillary with a huge national lead? I don't. If her lead was real (and that does include the independents who will arguably support Obama) why is it that she can not surpass Obama's ability to raise money?

As in the stock market, follow the money!
