I Disagree with Kos
He says no, but I think Hillary is the clear no-brainer VP choice for Obama. And it's a no-brainer that she should accept.

The choice is about winning the election. We need a bulldog to go after Republicans (see last 2 failed Dem choices) and someone who can win a state or 2. Hillary and the Clinton team know more about defeating Republicans than anyone. And she's proven a strong campaigner (as opposed to Richardson who proved to be embarrassingly inept). If there was somebody out there who fit the bill who could definitely bring a big swing state like Ohio or Florida, I'm all for it. Virginia's Jim Webb seems like the strongest choice on that front to put that state in play. But Hillary is the choice that gives us the best chance for victory.

Yes voters tend to unify around the nominee by November, But we can't afford to find out if this is the year that Hillary supporters live up to their word in not supporting Obama, anymore than Hillary would be able to afford to pass over Obama if she were the nominee. If it weren't for McCain being the opponent, with his bogus reputation as an independent type, I wouldn't feel as strongly about it. But rightly or wrongly he gives wavering women and working-class voters an excuse to bail on the Democrats.

We need Bill and Hillary and their supporters to be strong advocates for the ticket, not just on our side but on our team.

The dumbest reason not to pick her would be concern that she might overshadow Obama. Huh? Obama is a dynamic political figure with no need for such a worry. Slouching to this kind of critique would be a sure show of weakness. Could he really be so fragile as to not be able to stand up in front of Hillary? Picking a weak and timid personality (e.g., Sebelius) would be the move that diminishes his stature.

There's nothing to be afraid of here. Pick Hillary.
