Why VP may not be for Hilary

The former Democrat Nominee, Hilary Clinton, would be a wise choice for Obama but would she accept?

It only seems right for the now Presidential Candidate Barack Obama to choose his defeated rival Hilary Clinton in the aim of sportsmanship. Clinton would be a great choice for the Obama Camp who seem to be losing the devoted white, middle class voters of Clinton. It is certain that Obama is a very polished candidate, and he does appeal to the upper class and younger voters. However, Obama is known for being very toward the Left of the party and some have even called him the most left wing senator in the Senate. Obama needs to shift more toward the right to win this election, and we're beginning to see this, note another article further down the page.
An Obama-Clinton ticket has its positives. The two would be able to bring together the African-American community, the young, the poor, the rich but most importantly those voters who McCain and Obama are currently targetting- the Hispanic vote.

Obama did not receive a very large vote in the Democratic Primary with Clinton obliterating him in all states with large Hispanic voters (California, Florida). The Clintons have a great record with the Hispanic community and its something that these voters will not forget. During his presidency, Bill Clinton made huge reforms into relations with Hispanic nations and providing easier entry for asylum to the US.

This 'dream ticket' may not be what Hilary wants however. Now 62, Clinton would be 70 by the time the next election comes around (provided its a 2 term presidency). Clinton has other options other than joining the Obama campaign. Hilary is a Senator who now holds more weight than others. With Sen. Edward Kennedy most likely to resign, as a result of illness, Hilary would be left as one of the most influential Democrat Party members. This isn't something to be brushed aside as it would hand her great control over bills and decision making for the next President. In some ways, this would be more exciting for Clinton as Senate lobbying deals with argument, diplomacy and tactics all of which she possesses.
The move to stay in the senate would enable Clinton- a Senator of only 4 years- to develop relationships with others and influence support for a future run for president.
There have also been talks of Clinton becoming Chief Justice.

Clinton's ambition to become President may cause her to stay in the Senate- a tactical move to strengthen support- however it would be unlikely that she would accept, if chosen, a VP spot and have future ambitions of running for President.
To be chosen Clinton, out of personal pride may not accept the ticket for the party, to not play second fiddle to a former rival. However she may, in an attempt for her party to win office. Which do you think?
