Hillary Clinton stopped short of conceding the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama and said she would consult party leaders in coming days on how to proceed.
She said she was committed to uniting the Democratic Party for the November presidential election against Republican John McCain, but repeatedly talked about the nearly 18 million voters who chose her over Obama in the nomination battle.
Clinton told New York members of Congress that she would be open to becoming Obama’s vice presidential running mate, and her backers began to turn up the pressure on Obama to pick her as his No. 2.
Should Obama bow to that pressure? Is there some other role he should offer her?

Hey Thompson, are you going to vote for Obama?
- Posted by Andrew McLeodi think offering hilary clinton the post of VP would be brilliant. an african american as president and a woman as VP would show that america is changing its ways. Obama should win now as he is young and full of good ideas.
How can a man in his 70’s really run the country. they need someone young and fit …. not a pensioner.
- Posted by thompsonThe present situation demands Barack Obama rather that clinton because of his clear economic and governmet policies which is now most urgent issues that to be resolved for the nation development, otherwise this could show serious repercursions on other nations which has good tie up with this nation.
- Posted by Srinivas.PMaking her VP is wise decision. If both the strong person work together it will be very good for United States as well as rest of the world who depends on America.
- Posted by balkrishnaThe first thing they have to do is minimise war probabilities.
On behalf of India & pakistan I am requesting to both of them to solve the India & Pakistan (Kashmir issue) border problems.
Addendum:
My last post was riotously irreverent!
Actually - I now have a slution.
Make her Foreign Secretary of State: let her speak to Iran, Mugabe and the new resurgent fascist dictatorship that is Russia.
She may well be good with despots and dictators.

I can just see her, hat perched on her bleached head ready to sell you piece of something…
‘Come buy my burgers or I’ll get nasty!’ will be the ‘under her breath’ mantra.
On second thoughts, maybe she should just retire and leave us all in peace?
