Poll question: Could Hillary be an asset to the ticket if picked to be the VP candidate?
If Hillary shouldn't run for President in '08 because "she can't win", according to so many people here....then what if the Democratic primary winner chose her to be his VP candidate? Would you feel that the ticket would be doomed just because she's on it, or would she be an asset that could help our chances? As vice presidential candidate, would she make a difference one way or the other (between us winning or losing)...or not? Not sure?

Remember, you're voting under the assumption that she can't win as the presidential candidate...whether that assumption is correct or not. You're also voting under the speculation that she wouldn't win the primaries, but would be picked as the VP candidate...whether or not THAT one is true either.

Personally, if the assumption is correct that she couldn't win as the presidential nominee, and I'm not so sure that it is correct, then I'm not sure how she'd affect the ticket as the VP candidate. Thus this poll to get your opinion. I picked the 4th choice, BTW, a "not sure" one.

5. No. Not at all.
If anything she'll bring down the top of the ticket regardless of how good it is.
