Easy, all you do is bet 5 pearls for her either getting the VP nomination or not getting it. The pearls will be split by the winners.
I got 5 against her.

5 against her.
Obama is too smart to let a Hillary be a bullet away from the Presidency. Plus there are so many better choices.

5 against her.
Hillary just ran and lost. And she won't admit it.
Seriously, I can't see him picking a second who won't admit that she is a second. I could picture her using the next four years doing what she does best--promoting Hillary--and all the while interfering with his ability to function as president.

5 against, she has to campaign hard for him anyway if she wants any credibility in the Democratic party. Anything she does that looks like it could hurt Obama will be used against her in the future. I say he needs someone like Jim Webb, Wesley Clark, or Biden with him.

Mmmk, we can spice this up a bit. This pool will now be 5 pearls on the candidate you think will get VP.
5 pearls on Webb.

Hillary is too smart to be on the same ticket with a creep like Obama!

Obama’s best choice would have been Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, until he took himself out of the running with his Sherman-like statement. Indiana Senator Evan Bayh would also be pretty good but I don’t think he’ll pick another Senator. For a long-shot but good choice how about Joe Manchin, West Virginia’s Governor? But if I’m going to bet 5 pearls on it then Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell is my pick.

Hilary is too smart to join Obama on a ticket. He is not qualified and she would look bad. He will royaly mess everything up and she won't want to be connected to him in any way. Smart lady!
This Obama is a mess!

I have 200 pearls currently. Seeing as how I don't really know what they are for anyway, I'm willing to bet all of them that she will NOT get the nod from Obama.
Add my 200 to the pot.

Pearls are almost a currency here in Tweb.
You can give pearls to anyone (but most often those who've done or said something you think is cool) and you also get Pearls if you have a Post of the Day awarded.
Oh, and occassionally $cirisme goes mad and does things like dish out pearls to all members

meh.
Even so, 200 against her. She's NOT getting the nod. I'll share the wealth with my brethren!

You owe us all a lot of pearls.

Like I said, Hillary is too smart to be VP for a slob like BO! Biden fits into his stupid campaign better. Now they can both talk themselves into trouble. Watch and see!

:raspberry: I withdraw my bid when Phil changed the terms.
But Muddflap won, he suggested Biden (whoever Biden is)
