I doubt it. Obama doesn't want to further erode the white male vote. Obama is already doing well with women voters. Also With GOP voter ID tactics in Pennsylvania, Obama wouldn't want to risk it kicking Biden to the curb. Biden is loved in Pennsylvania.

Unlike Ryan, Biden could spend all his time campaigning in Pennsylvania to make sure that state goes for Obama because they love him there, also Delaware will obviously go blue as well. Ryan will be lucky if he gets Wisconsin to go red.

I can't see Obama gaining votes by adding Hillary. She'd be even more of a lightning rod than Biden or Ryan.

Oh Good God. You just can't admit how biased and WRONG you are.

Stop and think, man. Nothing passed by the House becomes law til it is also passed by the Senate and even then, the Prez can veto it.

Give it a break. Any legislation you think is a Bush Policy - thank your Fearless Leader along with Reid and Pelosi for making it happen.

Dang. Take a Civics Class.

I can see the DEM party WINNING this election if they put Hillary on the ticket as PRESIDENT.

As VP . .. not so much. It would just be a distraction, as you said.

Sounds like an opportunity to bring Biden into the 21st century on the topic of foreign relations. U.S. relations to follow should Biden get second term.

The only way I could see it happening is if Romney was ahead of Obama 10 to 15 points (particularly over 10 points). He would need to do something to bring energy to the ticket and a Clinton would do the trick. Everyone remembers the good economic times during the Clinton years. Right now its not in Obama's political interest to take those kind of drastic measures. Obama is still leading in some key battleground states. Don't rock the boat if you don't have to.
