Not this time. I've also suggested from the very start of the process that the Obama/Clinton "superticket" would be a surefire win, and that still holds true. The question is whether Hillary would be willing to accept the role of VP, if it were offered, or if she will decide to stay in the Senate and exert her influence from there. Ted Kennedy is the perfect example of how powerful an individual can become in the Senate.
If Hillary did take the role of VP, there is no doubt we would see the role of that office expanded like never before. She will not be the type to simply stand in the background and golf-clap at Obama's speeches. She will want to be as active in the policies, procedures and decisions of the Administration as possible. Again, that may not necessarily be a bad thing.
And let's be real, while some hardcore Hillary supporters may be disappointed she didn't get the nomination, there is no way in Hell they are gonna shift their votes to McCain, so Obama will still come out ahead. But it would be a wise move on his part to at least offer Hillary the VP office. His election as President will make history, but the impact of his Administration could be even more historical by having the first female in one of the two top offices of the nation.
