Who Could Hillary Clinton Choose as Her Vice President?

Hillary Clinton may have lost some steam, but the democratic presidential nominee is not set in stone yet. Things are still very close between her and Barack Obama. Democrats want to choose the person who has the best chances of winning against John McCain. Hillary Clinton's choice for a running mate could easily make or break her campaign.

Clinton has suggested that she wouldn't mind running with Barack Obama. To many democrats, this is a ticket of change. The two of them together could do amazing things for the United States. It would bring diversity to Washington in a way that has never been done. Clinton has the experience; Obama has the fresh ideas and the drive for change. Obama could also use the vice presidency as a stepping stone to run for a future election. It is unclear whether Obama is humble enough to settle for vice presidency. That is the only thing stopping this dream ticket.

Joe Bidden would also make an excellent choice for a running mate. Biden has a lot of support from the far left, and he also has a lot of experience. The only thing stopping this powerful match is Bill Clinton! Joe Biden is a fire cracker and he is not going to let Bill Clinton interfere with his vice presidency. Bill Clinton would definitely have a tremendous influence on a Hillary Clinton presidency and I don't Bidden would be able to handle that.

Two current governors, Ted Strickland and Bill Richardson, could also be good running mates for Hillary Clinton. They both have experience in the executive branch, and would help Clinton gain more credibility. Richardson is friend of the Clintons, and Strickland s the governor of one of the most important states in the 2008 election. Even though Richardson supports Obama, he could easily switch sides if Clinton is chosen as the presidential nominee.
