I saw this on Joe. My. God., which links it from the Wall Street Journal, that speculates the following:
Paul Starr, co-editor of The American Prospect, a liberal-left magazine, has observed that 45 percent of the people who disapprove of Mr. Obama's performance view Mrs. Clinton favorably. It is fair to say that Mrs. Clinton's addition to the ticket would be a substantial gain for President Obama that he badly needs next November, since she is, as Mr. Starr notes, a member of the part of his administration that has the highest approval rating, and more important she has not at all been a part of the disastrous economic policies that have caused the Obama drop in popularity.
Even better for Election Day, she would gain support among older white voters, who did not support Mr. Obama very much in 2008. Mr. Starr also cites a Suffolk University Florida poll that shows that Mrs. Clinton on the Obama ticket would win Florida for the two of them, even if Sen. Marco Rubio is the Republican's vice presidential candidate. One more advantage: With Mrs. Clinton comes her husband, who would very much want to get his wife elected, and also might be interested in a position in the Obama-Clinton administration.It might be smart. I don't think anyone would miss Biden too much.

HILLARY 2012- she has my vote :0)
I was just speaking to several friends today about the current pool of candidates on either side of the isle. We all expressed disapproval over the quality and lack of respectable choices in the 2012 presidential election. I had a few friends express their dismay and their possible choice not to vote for any candidate in 2012. (I will point out that it would be a mistake to NOT vote at all. It has always been my opinion that if you do not vote then you cannot complain!)
The one comment that I kept making with my friends today is that Hillary should buck the idea of running as Obama's VP candidate. I am of the opinion that if she were to run against Obama in the Democratic primary that she stands an excellent chance of unseating a sitting president in a re-election year. Who says the sitting president gets a "free pass" into a re-election year?
GIVE ME HILLARY!!!! WELCOME, MADAME PRESIDENT!!!!
