The Deuce

It will now be very interesting to see what Obama decides to do in selecting a running mate. We should all remember that he is under no obligation what-so-ever to select Hillary for the ticket regardless of how close the primaries were. In fact, it may be too difficult for them to both try working this out. History has proven that choosing the first and runner up for President and the VP roles has a history of not working out. Early on in our history, Jefferson did a swell job of undermining the work of John Adams. Now they were from different parties but the essence of the issue rings true. I think it will personally be very uncomfortable with Hillary and Bill occupying the Veep mansion. It is just too much horsepower to have in the garage and by the looks of it, it will be impossible to keep Bill’s mouth shut. Despite really wanting to see the big H play a role, in my opinion the VP role will be counter productive. But think of the other roles that can make a difference- Secretary of State perhaps.
