It means you get to keep your delegates and work to pay off your campaign debt. The delegates are leverage at the convention for the platform among other things.

I heard the most interesting rumor this morning. I heard that Obamas people were in secret talks with Clintons people to publicly offer Hillary the VP slot but only if she promised not to accept it....

I can already see her agreeing to those terms then when the "offer" is made...she accepts! :D

I wonder how Kay Bailey Hutchings from Texas would be?

She might have a name recognition problem, considering that her last name is Hutchison. ;)

Not to be ageist, but I think that the McCain campaign might consider her too old.

Also, I saw a Sarah Palin interview with Glenn Beck, I think she'd say yes if offered.

I bet McCain chooses............Hillary :p

I wouldn't be surprised.

I doubt that they'd offer it. Hillary would upstage Obama constantly, and Bill would upstage them both. unless they could lock him in a trunk for the duration of the campaign, he'd just bring too much baggage. Also, once the two of them were in office, there'd be a constant power struggle between the Billary staff and the Obama staff. It would be four years of infighting that would make the primary look like a ballet recital.

I'm not sure that McCain would pick Palin, although if he did, she'd certainly be an asset to the campaign, and if nothing else, we'd see the term "GILF" enter common usage.
