Why Not An Obama/Clinton Ticket? I'll tell you why

There are some people out there who have been thinking that perhaps an Obama Clinton ticket would be just the ticket for the democrats this year to propel them to victory. It is not likely. First of all Hillary would not do it. She has been around for thirty years in politics and government and would not frankly lower herself to being in a junior position to someone like Barak Obama who has been around for about 5 minutes and is about 20 years her junior in age and has far less experience than she does. Consider it from Barak Obama's position he likely would not do it either. He has all these years ahead of him as both a senator and a perpetual presidential candidate if he does not make it this time around so accepting a position to be a vice presidential nominee is likely a step down for him already in his career. He has got his eye on the top job and he is going to spend at least the next two election cycles trying to get that top job if he cant get there this time around. It is a great idea however and it would really be something if it happened but the reality of the situation is that neither one of them at this point in their careers would take the step down it would require of them to fit into a vice presidential position. Obama and Clinton in politics are basically two alpha males and they are both looking to lead the pack. Neither is at all interested i would think in being the door mat for the other that being a vice presidential nominee would require of them. It is not in either of their natures.
