Poor Hillary. Poor Obama. Poor Democrats. The one thing they have in common is that they are caught on the horns of a dilemma when it comes to Obama’s choice of running mate. I can’t imagine that Hillary would accept the position, given that she would then likely have to wait another eight years before she gets another shot at the Big Prize. In 2016 she will be 69 years old and for her a run for the presidency would be an uphill battle all the way. The only circumstances under which I can see Mrs. Clinton accepting the spot as number two would be if she had some prior knowledge that Barack Obama would not live to finish his first term.
