She received more votes than Obama & the primary ended with her winning huge in a bunch of states that are hardly liberal. This was after the pundrity had written her off for umpteenth time. By not picking Hillary, Obama has left alot of her supporters like me who don't mind McCain less than thrilled. We'll see what happens but I think McCain is going to be able to win over enough of the Hillary voters in November.
She received more votes in the primary, the voting that is done by people along party lines. That means that she did well with registered Dems. That's not a sign that she'd do well in the general. Just ask Dukakis. And I very seriously doubt that she would have chosen Obama for her VP.

Do you not remember the 3 o'clock in the morning ad? Do you not remember her saying that she AND MCCAIN were better choices for president than Obama because he lacked experience? She may have been campaigning for him since conceding, but the things she said in the campaign for the nomination would make her too much of a liability as an actual running mate against McCain.
