Ted Strickland (5.00 / 2) (#23)

The article did say that Ted Strickland, Governor of Ohio and a staunch Hillary supporter, is getting serious consideration for VP. He may be able to deliver Ohio which could win the election for Obama I think.

I doubt Strickland could help Obama pull in Hillary voters in other states, that will fall to Hillary and Bill. But with Michelle going around saying she wants to claw their eyes out, I don't blame them if they go back to NY and just give token support.

I hope this doesn't pan out (5.00 / 5) (#43)

Ohio needs Strickland to continue as governor.  While he has been careful to cultivate the NRA, he is a true FDR populist, which would get him nowhere in an Obama administration.

Clinton does have a job (5.00 / 3) (#195)

She is going to have to go back to the Senate and work for her state.  The other candidates haven't been out campaigning for Obama nor do I expect them to.  

If Obama refuses to have Clinton on the ticket because she is old politics and the Clinton era was bad for the country, he would refuse to have them campaign for him.

Obama has painted himself (5.00 / 1) (#213)

into a corner by frequently trashing Bill Clinton's legacy.  On the economy, being able to reference the expansion and jobs creation of the Clinton years would have helped him in a GE - but Obama is on record as saying that our current economic problems actually "began" during the Clinton Administration.  Even if not on the ticket, I could see HRC actively campaigning for him - but I don't think he would get that much help from Bill.
