what you don't have you don't need it now

This is almost the end of the road for Hillary Clinton's campaign. She won't be VP. Aside from the historical baggage the Clintons lug around with them, H. Clinton could have been Obama's VP. However, her primary campaign foreclosed that option. Pursuing an all or nothing strategy, she will have to settle for nothing and another fifteen minutes of fame on the second day of the Democratic convention and the symbolic roll call vote. I don't expect either Clinton to be an effective campaigner for Obama: he stole their legacy, or at least deferred it until 2012. Hardcore Clinton supporters continue to overlook the wafer thin policy differences between Hillary and Barack, preferring to remain fixated in a self-destructive form of resentment that could advantage McCain (who shares none of the policy positions of H. Clinton).
