It does actually shoot Clinton's approach of saying he is not ready in the foot. Especially given Bill's comments in 1992:
Obama pointed to a CBS News interview in May 1992, when candidate Bill Clinton said his most important criterion in choosing a vice president was "someone who would be a good president if, God forbid, something happened to me a week after I took office."
Yes you say, but Hillary is running, not Bill. True. But the sentiment stands, a V.P. should be able to step in... BUT, I wander how often is the V.P. just someone who supported the main candidate through thick and thin?
What about Obama offering Clinton the position of V.P.?
Tough call after so much bitterness...
Bitter Bitter Bitter. Yet, there aren't many policy differences between the two candidates.
Remind you of anything?

I disagree, she has succeeded in framing the debate. people only think of Obama as VP not clinton, which is exactly what she wants. She isn't Bill but she sadi almost ecactly the same thing not so long ago.
Running mates don't necessarily like each other at all. I don't know how imprtant they are, but I doubt anyone much cares how good they would be a leading the country, its all about winning the white house.
I am not following how you disagree?
I agree that people think of him as a potential VP in the race together, which is why he has to push that that is not what he wants, else people will think a vote for Hillary is also a vote for him and they will get to vote him in as president next time.
So if she said the same thing, doesn't that make her new position a little contradictory?
At the end of the day, you are right it is about winning the white house... and a joint ticket may be the only way to not given the republicans heaps of bait.
BUT, surely the person who wins the nomination shouldn't be VP?
"BUT, surely the person who wins the nomination shouldn't be VP?"
no!
"So if she said the same thing, doesn't that make her new position a little contradictory?"
yes! she's full of shit.
the fact that they're debating this is a win for her. any suggestion that he should agree to be her running mate should inspire snorts of derisive laughter; this hasn't happened, advantage clinton (in this instance, he'll still win)
I take it the no is sarcastic?
no, serious. It's not a possibility.
ok, missing each other.
I think we both mean the one who wins the nomination will run for president, not VP
