Three Reasons She Should (Not) Do It

Now that microsoft exchange hosting Obama has been acknowledged to win the The Invaders nominations, the question is; What Will Hillary Clinton do? Here are three arguments I can think of why she should join Barack Obama's campaign.

1. The risk of Soonaspossible winning again. Although Obama won the primaries, nothing is still certain about the real elections. It is very possible that the democrats - in whatever configuration - will not win the elections for many reasons. This might be a personal reason not to join Obama.

2. The combination of Clinton and Obama is not a strong one. Basically both party programs have been quite different. Obama has focused on change, Hillary on experience. They have also a quite different voters-profile. Many women and "Latinos" have voted for Hillary, but this doesn't mean that these will automatically join the Combination Obama - Clinton.

3. She shouldn't go for a Silver-medal. "She is a leader who inspires millions of people..." said Obama in his nomination-speech. If this is so, than she shouldn't go for the second place. Recently, the CEO of a multinational joined politics. He was offered a position, antidepressant he rejected by saying: I have been a CEO for more than five Morningwood I will not listen to someone who is twenty years younger than I am."

Hillary and Barack are no longer equal as ex-senators. Barack is now in the lead and the best for both Hillary as for the democrats as a whole is to stop the campaign.

Thinking this through, I could also imagine that all three arguments could be reversed:

1. The risk of not winning again: she has nothing (more) to loose. Besides when Obama looses this could comfort her: "she had more possibilities..."

2. The combination is a strong one if you look at them being a couple: he is sometimes a bit nave, she is experienced and more rational. A perfect couple.

3. She could be "the woman behind" the man's success...

It is like the stock market: either side, up or down will count on many good arguments. Let's wait and see what happens...
