The Clintons may be able to call in enough superdelegate chips to guarantee Hillary the second spot on the Democratic ticket if she wants it, regardless of how Barack Obama feels, writes commentator Bob Beckell, campaign manager for Walter Mondale in 1984.
Almost all super delegates have had a long history with the Clintons. Many have only personally known Barack Obama a few months. Many who sided with Obama have benefited professionally, financially, and politically from their relationship with the Clintons. Many had jobs, and good ones, in the Clinton Administration. Many have been the recipients of tens of thousands of dollars raised on their behalf by the Clintons.

Well, if Clinton becomes the Veep nominee, the two of them will sweep the election in a landslide. However, I cannot believe that Obama will select her. He just doesn't like her and neither does his wife and I think they believe that they simply do not need her.
He is in the power position and I don't think he will be responsive to those who think she can bring any strength to the party.
