I disagree. I think taking Hillary wouldn't have helped him. Sure he would have some of the Hillary supporters who are now threatening to vote McCain, but many of them were not going to be happy with anything but a Hillary win so there is no guarantee taking her would have brought them all on board. Still, it would have brought man of them and that would have helped. That said it would have opened up a whole new can of worms. The base of the republican party despises the Clintons and there is a strong chance that they would have rallied around around McCain just to defeat here. Also. I think have a black guy and a woman on the same ticket is just too much change at one time and would have scared off a lot of independents.
Hillary could have helped him, but she also would have hurt him so the question is would she have done more damage than good?
