What is Hillary to do? Vice President.

The reality of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential run is apparent when viewing the Clinton family faces in the photo above.  The image was captured this week as Hillary gave her “victory” speech at the end of the Indiana primary.

Although she claims to be in the race “all the way until the end,” her her campaign chairman, Terry McAuliffe, predicted today that the party would have a presumptive nominee in June and, if it’s not Clinton, she would campaign for Sen. Barack Obama.

These comments, combined with a growing sentiment of inevitability and a lack of cash flow into the Clinton campaign, make her loss to Obama a certainty.  If this is so, then why wait until June?

This is Clinton’s negotiating card.  She wants her private loans to her campaign repaid and she wants the #2 position guaranteed.  We’re sure there are a few dozen additional requests.  The Vice Presidential nomination is the main target.

Obama is said to be resisting this, but Obama, Clinton and most of the Democratic Party realize that an Obama-Clinton ticket may be an beatable pairing, even up against McCain-Romney.

Look for Mrs. Clinton’s graceful resignation announcement before Memorial Day with rumors of her and Obama discussing the VP position immediately thereafter.  The timeframe will be just long enough to build a frenzied interest, but short enough so as not to disenfranchise the masses.
