“That may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me.“
And I think Obama would accept it.

Just had this conversation with a friend in MS.
My take is, this makes for a nice lay-up to an Obama 2016 run. It plays to both their strengths and heck why the hell not. Money clearly won’t be a problem!
Plus it will give all the activists on both sides “cover” and a way to really pump up the voter turn out. Otherwise I worry about the folks who stay home cause their person didn’t win.
Oh and another thing, I like it when the Clinon team lets Hillary be Hillary. I bet she picked up a couple thousand votes from the Jon Stewart show. I thought she was very charming.

How can Hillary ask Obama to VP when just last week she said his only qualification for C-in-C was one speech in 2002?
You would also have to believe Obama would agree to be the third wheel on Team Billary. I don’t, and I also don’t think Hillary would accept VP under Obama.
It’s nice to think about a unified team. But we’ve just seen the start of the negative campaigning, and since it “worked,” there’s now *months* more of it ahead. No matter who wins, I do not expect we’ll see a Dream Ticket.

I didn’t see her stint on Jon Stewart, but I think her showing on SNL helped as well.
First, it brought up media bias in an easy to digest format. Clinton plays better as the underdog (not necessarily as a victim).
And in the interest of full disclosure (since Richard brought it up), I voted for Obama. But it’s pretty clearly that MSNBC gives a pass to Obama, while attempting to rake Clinton over the coals.
Second, it showed off her sense of humor and ability to poke fun at herself. And everyone loves that.

Reid,
With regards to the comment, I think that can easily be dismissed as “part of campaigning.” Besides, who knows what she really believes about him? She was practically singing kumbaya with him a week before that comment? Plus, he’d be serving as Vice President - not C-in-C.
I also don’t believe that Hillary would accept the VP slot, but I think Obama would be more open to it. He’s got years of political life ahead of him and VP would give him the “experience” that so many people think he lacks.
