At last a few commentators are daring to say that Hillary Clinton could still be chosen as the Vice Presidential candidate for Barack Obama. I have heard positive comments from Pat Buchanan, David Gergen, and Chris Matthews. Why is it that so many for so long have considered the possibility as unlikely to impossible? Could it have something to do with media dislike of the Clintons? There are so many positives to this coupling as mentioned in my blog of June 2nd, "Vice President". The fact that these positive factors have been ignored by the media for so long seems to be more of a media issue than an issue of whether Senator Obama would seriously consider this so-called Dream Ticket.
Can it be that the joint appearance in Unity, New Hampshire finally opened some eyes? First of all they look good together. Secondly, no one could bring the excitement to this ticket that Hillary Clinton brings. Finally, the concern about foreign policy experience is not best answered with a vice presidential candidate. Senator Obama would be well advised to surround himself with the generals who were working with Hillary, as well as members of the Clinton Foreign policy team. If he wants Joe Biden, bring him on as a visible advisor, who could be understood as being Obama's future secretary of state.
Bring on the dream ticket.
