It would help with the women voters.

I would probably agree with you about the landslide, but my thoughts are more running: panic time..If this was the case, Biden gone, Hillary in, and it had happened 6 months ago, maybe, but Obama has donetoo many things in the past 90 days that spell, I will do anything to anybody just to win. I think this would backfire.

I don't think you know what that word means.

Obama doesn't need help with Woman voters. It's the white male support that he needs and that's why Biden needs to stay on the ticket.

Does Clinton even want the job? She didn't in 2008.

Obama is where Obama has been for some time - slightly ahead and with a favorable electoral path. Romney is a longer shot. In any case, I read an interesting article yesterday about "unlikely voters". They tilt 2-1 for Obama and if they showed up it would be not only an electoral but a popular vote landslide. But they don't for various reasons many having to do with not thinking their vote matters or that the choice is really not that significant. They did show a strong tendency to vote if they thought their votes would help in a close election and Clinton seemed to move them significantly as well. Obama wins if he can get people to the polls. Maybe Clinton is what he needs. If he truly believes that this is a choice about the future of the country and he thinks that his vision may go down otherwise, I think he would change VPs

The timing: during the Republican convention, of course.
