Only reason the media is bringing this up(its completely media driven) is simple.

1. They know now McCain is going to be the Republican Nominee
2. They know their Obama media push will not garner him the nomination.
3. They realize Hillary will be getting the nomination.
4. They realize a Hillary vs McCain fight will very likely go to McCain.
5. They see Obama bringing in the moderate/liberal Democrats who will not vote for Hillary..but might very well vote for McCain.


Obama doesn't want to play the VP in a Billary WH and likely wants to run again in 2012 instead of being forced to wait possibly until 2016.

Hillary has no intentions of being upstaged by the 'coulda been' whenever she flounders. He will help emphaisis any scandals or negatives she find herself in simply by beign there.


Whatever....Its not going to happen.
Its as much a media creation as he started as.

(You might also note in almost every instance its not Obama/Hillary its Hillary/Obama..a subtle and likely unintentional admittance by much of the media pushing this theory that they know Hillary is going to get the nomination)
