Who do you think? Will he stick with Biden or will he go a different route? There have been rumours in the past that it may be Cuomo. I wonder if he's even considered Hillary or if she's already said "no"?

In October, Biden said he would positively be the running mate. I'm not so sure. I would love to see Hillary!

I have heard Clinton, don't know how true that is.

Unless Biden suffers another aneurysm he'll be on the ticket.

I'm not a hundred percent clear on the way the whole system works, but isn't Hillary kind of more useful where she is?  I mean, what does the vp actually do?  She's secretary of state--isn't that a more important and responsible job?

Hillary is useful on foreign soil, but she is desperately needed at home...unfortunately, her being on the ticket is a pipe dream IMO...Obama will play it "safe" (no matter how dumb that may be) and not risk putting her on the ticket no matter how good it would be for the country.  Sadly, he will probably stay with Biden....

Well... to quote the man himself: "This is a big f*ckin' deal!"

How can you argue with a guy like that?

When confronted with the question if she'd accept running as VP, Hillary said she's not interested ~ she has done an excellent job at State, but it's a brutally demanding job and schedule ~ she has also hinted that she wants to retire from public life following the 2012 elections ~ I think it will, and should be, Biden ~ he brings a deep knowledge of foreign affairs and politics generally to the table ~

Biden's no Cheney.  It seems to me he's been pretty effective at getting things done the way his boss wants and without embarassing the boss.
