Should Barack Obama pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate? I have the feeling he won't. If that were even a solid possibility, I would think we'd currently be seeing photo-ops of the twosome, trying to expunge the image of them as fierce rivals.
But would it be a good idea? I dunno. Here's an article by Ed Kilgore who says yes and another by Thomas F. Schaller who says no. Neither is wholly convincing but each makes some good points. I think if I had a say — and you just know how often they consult comedy writers in this kind of decision — I'd suggest the "unity" factor is not going be as necessary as it might now seem and Obama can pick someone who better stands for change and a reversal of policy for Iraq.
