Hillary has a problem accepting her loss in the Democratic primaries. Her tone and her word charged of a strong feeling of being left out. There are already versions of conspiracies, Soros the Leader of the Democratic Party being the culprit & mastermind of Hillary's demise. I have read some of Hillary's papers back in graduate school, very insightful very powerful words, my perception is that she would have made one good president, presumably better than her husband.
However, is not her turn and it may never be, Obama has already began to campaign for the 2012 elections. The immediate problem for Obama is how to handle Hillary. A VP post may be seen as a sign of weakness on his part, having capitulated to the Clinton clan in their efforts to bamboozle themselves back into the white house. However, some think that in light of the effort that she put into her campaign, the numbers of popular votes gotten and the slight effect in the so called swing states: Texas, Pa and Ohio, has earned her the right to be the VP.
The way Hillary handle her lossing campaing all the way to the end, makes her a liability for Obama. Is almost certain that a win by Obama, without Hillary is a pipe dream which will have to muster all the political courage left in America to become a reality.
By far America is still a place where races matters, often too much, specially in politics at all levels.
The unfortunate thing is that this race was between a Black man and a woman, two classes of people whom have been denied for many years access to the road to the White House. Perhaps in fear that the incumbent, if a member one of these classes of people, may change the name of the White House to the Pink House or the Multicolored House.
Both had a heck of burden on their shoulders. Obama as the first Black President would have to not only restore the confidence of Black people in their government, in themselves and in their ability to overcome great obstacles. Hillary would have to move forward the cause of discrimination based on sex, which exists the world over. Not matter how much they've declared their candidacies to be efforts to confront the evils now threatening the American way of life, which it may well be, their underpinnings are naturally tied to who they are intrinsically, a black man and a woman in American national politics.
