Oops - IS The GOP VP Pick more difficult because of Senator Clinton

All things considered, isn't the GOP VP pick more difficult because of Senator Clinton? Should Senator Obama decide to select Senator Clinton, it is undeniable that this Union would create a virtual powerhouse for the Democratic Party.

You must acknowledge, however grudgingly, that Senator Clinton is and was an integral part of a vetting process that eliminated much of the party's initial doubts regarding Senator Obama's ability to withstand attack, deal with drama & innuendo, address race, class & inclusiveness, adjust to political maneuvering, the press & public opinion and defend his policies and vision. She managed through her campaign to not only help solidify his base, but one for herself as well.

If selected as VP, doesn't she make the corresponding match-up for the GOP a difficult one? The debates from the VP's are particularly fiery, and there is no doubt Senator Clinton can hold her own.

Who matches up with Senator Clinton as a VP pick on the GOP side?

From Obama's position I think Hillary would be a terrible choice and a constant source of irritation. I kinda like it for the potential fireworks the dynamic could provide. And it'd be fun to see his message of "change" be delivered by the Clintons!

IMO, the big concern for McCain's VP is all about McCain's age and health issues.

People are much more interested in his VP because there's a more likely chance he'll need to take over the presidency.
