Morris on the Veepstakes

The always readable, often insightful Dick Morris, writing for Real Clear Politics.com, says Obama cannot select Clinton as the vice presidential nominee. His basic position is that:

It would not help him get elected, it would drag all the Clinton controversies into the general election, and having her down the hall in the West Wing would be a recipe for disaster, dissension and civil war. Other than that, it’s a hell of an idea!

Do read his analysis of her inability to bring additional votes to the Democratic ticket. He concludes:
Hillary would add no votes to Obama, she would dog his campaign with scandal, she would be disloyal in office, and her husband would be, at best, a huge distraction. Case closed.
