I think that Hillary knows and has known for some time that she will not be the party's nominee. However, her women supporters are so heavily invested in the first realistic chance at a woman for president, they have to be handled carefully. I think she sincerely wants to help them with their coming let-down, and to get them to come over to supporting Obama.
I hope - I don't know - that the price of her goodwill will NOT be the veep spot on the ticket. As most pundits seem to be saying, her Washington ties and attitudes do not jive well with his Washington is broken and needs fixing -mantra. Plus, there'd be the problem of the "second spouse" - Bill. What to do with Bill.
My more immediate hope, coming up this Tuesday - what if there is another Hillary blow-out in Kentucky? I keep hoping to hear that he has at least visited KY - it has some big cities, after all, that should be better pickings for him. I don't want another West Virginia, even if balanced with a decent to good to great win in Oregon. . . .
