Will Senator Clinton choose Obama to be her V.P. if she is the Democratic nominee? Will Senator Obama choose Clinton to be his V.P. if he wins the nomination? The answer to both is no.
The subject makes great fodder for journalists and pundits who have too much time on air to fill, but the fact is that neither candidate has said they would choose their opponent to be the V.P. People need to listen to what the candidates say and not what their campaign people say. Campaign people will spin anything as a storyline even when there is no story. It is part of the process to keep reporters up to date and to satisfy their desire to create news.
That is why reporters and journalists have a panel of so called experts to debate what a candidate said after the debates. Depending on who the reporter, journalist, or panel member supports, it will reflect what they say about that candidate after the debate. They even like to read into what a candidate says when there is nothing there. They overanalyze just for the heck of it, which does absolutely nothing for the American people.
The ball that the people have to keep their eye on is what the candidates themselves say. The people should put aside any notion of Clinton or Obama being a V.P. choice. The words 'dream ticket or dream team" is just that, a dream. The American people should not be distracted during the primaries. The main issue is still the same: which candidate is the most qualified to be the Democratic nominee and potential Commander-in-Chief.

I'm willing to bet the T.V. programs will not drop the Obama, Clinton V.P. thing. I agree, T.V. has so much time to fill up, they just over report. Today it was reported that Romney would accept the V.P. if McCain asked. Lets see if that becomes an ongoing story. It is a shame to say but there are times you can watch T.V. all day and not learn anything new.
