Would making Bill Clinton her Vice (no pun intended) President help or hinder Hillary's bid for the Democratic nomination?

It's not that it would 'hinder' her, but it wouldn't help. Presidents tend to pick VPs with a different draw than themselves. Picking Bill would just be putting all her eggs in the 'Clinton' basket, without the opportunity to find someone who appeals to a different demographic.

She can CHOOSE him as a running mate, sure. But Constitutionally, I'm not sure if he could accept the position. So they should do it, and then when they win, she can appoint AL GORE as VP! Hahahaha Poor Al, always a bridesmaid, never a bride... But Bill wants to be UN Sec General, so I don't think he would do it anyway. That presents a bit of a problem, because they can't do both (Hillary as prez, and Bill as UN guy). Neither the UN nor the country would accept that kind of arrangement, too much conflict of interest. So I think they have a major decision to make. Personally, I would like to see Bill as UN Sec Gen. We need an AMERICAN in that position, especially after the disaster that is Kofi Annan. Love, Jack.

It would definitely help, but since he cannot become president then it would be futile. When Hillary is elected president I would like to see Bill in the State Department, doing what he does best and that is mending fences with all the country's that George Bush has alienated

The effect would be that the Supreme Court would rule it unconstitutional. Personally I want to see Bill nominated for the Supreme Court.

It is not illegal for a president to run as VP. Name recognition would be helpful, although the whole issue of Watergate would certainly arise. I think it is time for some new blood in the Democratic party.

Might be funny to witness!! The jokesters and cartoonists would have plenty of amo; watching them fight for first place in front of the cameras would be fun; watching her trying to keep him from up-staging her at every event would be fun. Does that mean we would have to listen to four years of him patting himself on the back and pay for getting the zippers on his pants fixed? OHHHH!! Not so funny!!! There goes the National Debt!! Anyway, I think Hil. would rather have one of her 'gal friends' in the Oval Office with her. What goes around, comes around!!

It would be bad for Hillary therefore great for America.

if she wins he'd be the luckiest man on the planet. he'd get a third trip to the white house and he'd still have to do nothing. haha, clinton is the man.

i think it would help her a lot. who would argue with a VP who was a president for 2 terms.

I don't think that would be legal, he's already served two terms, if she died, he'd have another.
