we don't vote for co-presidents.
prez candidates rarely select a strong VP - at least these days.
McCain chose Palin in part b/c he was pandering - and that choice backfired b/c she was TOO visible and TOO vocal. a good VP candidate is one who won't embarrass the prez candidate and provides decent photo ops. yeah, it might be a good idea to choose one who has some of the qualities the prez candidate lacks - so Obama chose an old white guy, for example. Bush II chose an old white guy (b/c Bush II was a youngish guy). Bush I chose a youngish guy. so maybe Hillary will choose an old white guy or a youngish white guy. or she may choose another minority. but i doubt she'll choose a woman and i seriously doubt she'll choose anyone who's particularly ambitious or well-known.
