My god, it just occurred to me: Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to be Vice-President just in case. Now, I get it. It just clicked in when I was reading the blog “The Moderate Voice.” In the post entitled Short-Circuiting Clinton? Pelosi, Reid, Dean Give Superdelegates Friday Decision Deadline, it says:
“While newspapers around the world run photos of Obama on their front pages and note the United States’ historical moment fu, the big behind-the-scenes political story is a reported full-press effort by prominent Clinton supporters on several fronts to pressure Obama to take Clinton as his Vice Presidential candidate. And some reports suggest her in effect continuing her campaign and not stepping out as most politicos would do when the numbers were totally against her is a hard-ball poplitical bargaining chip: You better pick me or this will continue in some form or another until Denver.”
I thought to myself, “what’s in it for HRC being VP?” I mean it’s not like she’s guaranteed a Dick Cheney role. Why does she wan to be offered the VP slot so badly? That’s when it clicked:
The Vice-President is next in line for the Presidency.
