She is certainly not showing any political savvy by publicly putting him on the spot for VP position or any concerns for the party either.. Not really gracious in defeat but just another maneuver.. Seems like scorch-earth move.. Graciously conceding, rallying her crowd to the big picture and negotiating in private what she wants would have raised her position to bigger things..

If he gives in, definitely will look like a wimp even if it is to 'unite the party' what ever that means.. I think he should select best candidate to complement his strength and roll the dice.. And if he picks her as running mate, it won't be a dream ticket.. more like a desperate move to keep peace.. And democrats will lose unless McCain does something totally stupid..

Dale -

I'm forced to agree. I have never thought an Obama/Clinton ticket was a good idea, and recent events have only confirmed that opinion.

I hope that after a few days of decompression, the Clintons will come around and find a way to begin to help with the rebuilding process. The responsibility to rebuild the party is as much theirs as it is Obama's.
