Do yall think he will take Hill as VP? And if so do you think the new accusations against Bill will hurt his race? Or do you think he will totally bypass her for that reason?

I think he will refrain from making a VP decision for a while. I think he'd be wise to verbally explain that Hillary is a leading contender. Then he should make a few possibilities known and meet with them and get some publicity. Allow the polls to show how the electorate feels about each possible contender compared to Hillary. And then go from there. Hopefully the polls among Democrats will show that Richardson or someone else resonates with the electorate. Personally...I'd like to see Richardson. The first African-American President and Hispanic Vice President. It would also open the door for a second historic race in 8 years when Richardson runs as the first Hispanic President. That'd be what I'd bank on. Obama is running on "Change". Clinton is a throwback to another decade and administration. I think the American people are tired of Bush's and Clinton's.
