Should Obama have picked Hilary as his running mate?

Answer by  GeekBoy (146)

No. Hillary Clinton is a very capable politician, but she is also very polarizing. Obama needed to find a running mate who had the Washington experience he lacks, but would also be willing to play a secondary role as a sounding board during his administration.

No. The people she brings with her are Clinton loyalists, but are unable to agree on much and less able to think outside the box than we need right now.

No, it would have been a dangerous choice. She is very determined and accidents can always happen... He had to watch behind his shoulders all the time with Hilary around. Biden is a much less menacing figure, he is almost invisible.

Obama should have picked Hilary as his running mate in order to: 1. keep union / blue collar voters to whom his 'I hate America' attitude drives away 2. prove he could rise above partisanship within the party 3. to have a demographic boost to the ticket, that would have outdone Palin

I think too many things were said in the primaries,but,he has a lot of unique things about him and in a country that still has a lot of race issues, adding a woman to his campaign may have hurt him. America likes change but, that's a lot of change. I would have liked it myself.
