Failing to pick up enough delegates to be the Democratic front-runner, Senator Clinton is now attempting to ensure herself a spot on the Democratic ticket should she fail to overtake Senator Obama. Despite the use of negative attack ads which portrayed Sen. Obama as inexperienced and unprepared, the Clinton campaign values Sen. Obama enough to still offer him the Vice-Presidency. Evidently, they feel that by November, he’ll have plenty of experience under his belt. Writes Michael Goodwin of the New York Daily News, “It’s a dream team all right, as in dream on. It’s a fantasy because, in the Clintons’ pitch, naturally, she is on top of the ticket and Obama is her No. 2. That’s rich of her, considering that Obama leads in both the delegate race and the popular vote. Forget those pesky voters – Hillary has declared herself the winner!” Many Democratic leaders are discounting the Clintons’ offer, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who stated that the Clintons lost their opportunity when they claimed that Senator McCain was more qualified than Senator Obama. With Michigan and Florida still in limbo, voters may have to wait a long time before a Democratic ticket is resolved.
