19. HRC people would be okay with it, but maybe not Obama's
Here's why..

her people might be okay with it because second place on the ticket , to them, might be better than nothing, and many of them seem to still be hoping for that "catastrophe"..:(

Will African Americans really be OKAY with him bringing her and Bill onboard after the resounding shunning they have given both of them?

Will young "inspired" people turn off when they see the "old style" politics of H & B being infused into Obama's campaign?

Will people who were so happy to finally be rid of the astounding negatives & drama of the Clintons, be Okay to make Obama shoulder them?

I don't see any upsides to having BC looking over Obama's shoulder, and having the press ask Bill "what he would have done" ..every time Obama makes a decision..

Short of making Bill ambassador to Mongolia and handcuffing Hillary to the Senate president chair & sewing her mouth shut , I don't see any way he can do it :)
