yes we can! but do we need HRC for VP?
no way! obama has been underestimated all along - and i believe he will continue to prove the naysayers wrong; all the way to the whitehouse.
i think it would be a smart move on obama's part to make her his vp and unify the democratic party.
that's a really tough call to make - im not sure which way he should go.
