Should Obama Offer VP Spot to Hillary

The vast majority of Clinton supporters are not as VOCAL as the Obama supporters. My impression of the Obama supporters is that they have either bought into the media bashing of Hillary and Bill that began before he even took office or they are new to the whole process and believe the hype. The facts don't support the frenzy. If they want REAL CHANGE they should understand that Obama was tutored and most of his Ideas for CHANGE started with HILLARY. If Obama thinks that it is outrageous that the Republican machine would attack his wife, he should take-a-look at the history of his opponent and MENTOR, Hillary. She has been continually attacked by the Media and the Republican Spin Machine, who created this unwarranted bashing by some Americans against Hillary, since the early 90's. The Republicans knew that she would be a viable candidate for the future as our first woman president back when her husband took office, that's why through accusation and attack they tried to crush her when she was attempting to reform our health care system. She is unstoppable. After all that she went through during the eight years her husband was in office; she still came back and successfully ran for the Senate. Her experience of being the first woman partner of a major law firm among many other firsts, show her unwavering ability to succeed. It would be a grave mistake for Obama to discount Hillary. He can't win without her. There is no other viable running mate that is known by the general public (except for Al Gore) who could help him win (if he get the nomination - it ain't over til its over). I am an African-American who last year registered as a Democrat so I could vote for Hillary. As a former Independent voter I still know that Hillary Clinton is our best hope for the future. Unfortunately, we have entered a time when the uninformed, rhetoric believing, media following frenzy have become very vocal on misinformation.  (May 15, 2008 | post #1)
