Clinton Campaign Chair: Obama would make a good veep

In an interview, Terry McAuliffe says Obama would be considered for the vice presidential slot of a Clinton ticket:

McAuliffe: “But clearly Barack Obama has shown that he can excite people. She needs to make sure the next, whoever the Vice President is, could take over if anything happened to her. But it’s early for us to be talking about Vice President. But let me tell you this, I sat in that Kodak Theater the other day, I was there in Los Angeles. I flew out with Hillary, I went to the event, I sat in that audience, and Dominic to sit there and look at that stage - the two finalists, African-American and a woman of the Democratic Party - I think that was exciting. I think that’s exciting for the Party for our country, and I think it’s exciting for the world.”

Carter: “So it might be a good idea to put him on the ticket?”

McAuliffe: “Sure it would be, absolutely. How could you deny consideration of someone who has excited so many people?”

I don't mean to debunk the entire premise of this (very good) blog, but I must respectfully disagree on the issue of a Clinton-Obama / Obama-Clinton "dream ticket." I actually think such a ticket would be bad politics. These two rivals would most certainly bog down the White House with constant power struggles, especially if Hillary were forced into the position of VP. This would make for an ineffective and distracted administration, something we cannot afford considering the challenges that lie ahead. The Democratic Party may apportion delegates proportionally, but when it comes to the White House, in this race it's winner takes all. I have blogged as much on my site, www.EuroNewsUSA.com
