Bill Clinton stated that Democrats should avoid personal attacks on Palin. Democrats have been attacking Palin's experience because she has a thin resume. Karl Rove is a former Bush strategist, and he concluded that attacking a V.P. candidate has rarely proven effective in determining election outcomes. Bill Clinton stated several personal reasons why he likes Palin. Clinton feels that for the number two GOP spot she is a good candidate.
I get this impression that Bill Clinton thinks he is still campaigning for Hilary's run at office. I think it is a very obvious strategy when Bill Clinton focuses on gender during this presidential election. Bill Clinton is covertly attempting to increase Hilary's popularity and chance in the next election.
Bill also states he believes Hilary would have been a better choice as the Democratic V.P. candidate. Bill thinks she is most qualified due to her support throughout the country. I agree her support is strong and would have influenced the Democrats in a positive way. Placing Clinton as the 2008 V.P would have unified the party tremendously. I do not understand why Obama did not select Clinton as his V.P. because I believe he would have walked into office with little resistance.

I think Obama didn’t choose Hillary because she would have overshadowed his campaign and Presidency. I think Hillary would have used her popularity to push for her own agenda and not necessarily stick with the Obama message. Also, when you choose Hillary, you are choosing Bill. Bill Clinton comes with a lot of controversy. During the primaries, the media was trying to get Bill to release the names of some donors for his Presidential Library. Bill was refusing to disclose certain names. If Obama had chosen Hillary, he probably would have been guaranteed victory; however, Hillary brings a lot of negative attributes.
