More reasons Obama won't choose Hillary as his VP

Analysis: Hillary Can Never Be Obama’s VP

Any chance that Barack Obama would choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate has been quashed by what some observers are calling the “deal-breaker” — Bill Clinton’s refusal to readily release documents from his White House years.

To put Hillary on the ticket is to confront nagging questions about donors to the Clinton Library and Bill’s refusal to release them,” said political analyst Dick Morris.

“It would be to inherit a load of baggage that Obama does not need as he tries to position himself as the candidate of change, antithetical to the corrupt and corrupting ways of Washington.”

But that’s not the only strike against Hillary in her presumed quest to gain the vice presidential slot.

The Obama camp is angry over Hillary’s refusal to drop out of the race after it was all but certain that Obama would gain the nomination. While Hillary plans to concede on Saturday, she has still not withdrawn from the race or released her delegates.

Plenty of animosity remains between the Obama and Clinton camps following a long and sometimes acrimonious battle for the nomination.


Obama’s wife Michelle is said to be dead set against Hillary as the Democratic vice presidential candidate.

But putting Hillary on the ticket for vice president would create a “ménage-à-trois,” with Bill “the unexpected roommate,” Morris writes.
