So now that Obama has won the nomination, here are my thoughts.
Clinton has made it all but impossible for Obama to go into the November election without choosing her as his Vice President. She has repeatedly ranted that "he's not ready" and "he's not electable" and you know what? She admittedly has a cult following saying the exact same thing (see: Trinity). At this point, she's made it seem like if he doesn't have her at his side, that he just simply shouldn't be elected. And she's making a great argument about it too (see: popular vote).
However, her hands are tied as well. If she doesn't follow Obama and become his VP, her political credibility would be thrown out of the window. All of her talk of "making sure a Democrat gets elected" would seem like hogwash. Come November, if Obama loses (because of her lack of participation and support), her political career will go down the drain. Also, if anything "happened" to Obama, she would be the person most likely to have fingers pointed.
At this point, do you feel that they "need" each other to win in the Fall?
