Soror, I actually think that this is the GOAL. I think that they are just going about it in a round about kind of way so that no one thinks that that is what they are trying to do. I think that by both tossing their hat in the ring for *President,* the public begins to check *both* of them out...their voting records, etc. That, to me, makes for a more powerful ticket b/c then people like the Pres and the VP candidate (when one drops into that VP slot). Otherwise, who ever really takes the time to truly investigate the VP candidate? There is so little attention placed on the VP candidate that it's ridiculous as they (as was Former President Gerald Ford, RIP) could very well become President.
I think that this is the strategy.
Now, as to whether they could be Pres and VP, not sure what I think about that. Hillary, I like for feminist reasons but she is such a middle of the road politician that you never can really tell what you are getting with her. She thinks she's being cute (and smart) by playing the middle ground but I wouldn't risk my vote for President on someone that played the middle ground (unless I didn't have any other choices) - b/c I wouldn't know what to expect from her.
