Hillary got A LOT of money from her Wall Street Buds...the Dem leadership realized this and not to alienate them allowed Hillary's campaign to run its course. As a sop to the Wall Street boyz the Dem leadership may require Obama to select Hillary as a CHECKMATE on Obama's agenda of change. The wall street Boyz like things the way they are, and don't want money taken out of their pockets. So it is a matter of how much does Obama wana be prez, as in if he doesn't take Hill then those BOyz will pony up the dinero in the Billions to McCain.

That is not to say they wouldn't give the Billions to McCain anyway, cause anything that gets in the way of making money they ain't for....but it will be more Billions if Hill ain't on the ticket as insurance of keeping Obama in line. Those wall street boyz do like to cover there bums with a little insurance.

However the left wing nutz in the Dem party have their boy in play and may reject the Wall Street crowd.

Obama, Hillary Clinton to campaign together
Former first lady will introduce Obama to her financial backers

AP
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will be speaking with former presidential rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., in the next few days about her role in his campaign efforts.

updated 11:40 a.m. ET June 20, 2008
CHICAGO - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama's campaign announced Friday that he will campaign with former rival Hillary Rodham Clinton next week, a step toward unifying a fractured Democratic Party after a bruising primary fight.

Obama's campaign said in a brief e-mail that the two senators and former opponents will campaign together for the first time on Friday, June 27, and more details would be forthcoming.

A day earlier, Obama and Clinton also plan to meet in Washington with some of her top contributors in an effort to calm donors who remain frustrated with Obama's presidential campaign. The former first lady will introduce Obama to her financial backers.

Clinton, a New York senator and former first lady, suspended her campaign for the Democratic nomination earlier this month after Obama, an Illinois senator, secured enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

Obama's campaign disclosed the joint appearance — but offered few details — one day after announcing that he would reverse an earlier position and reject some $85 million in public financing for the general election. That announcement opened him up to a flood of criticism and dominated the news cycle.

Thus, Obama's campaign sought to redirect attention by putting word out a full seven days in advance that Obama and Clinton would campaign together.


Clinton ended her campaign on June 7, four days after Obama got enough delegates to clinch the nomination. "I endorse him and throw my full support behind him," she said at the time.

The two met privately on June 5 after ditching reporters to make sure there would be no photos or coverage of the first post-race meeting. Obama was asked Wednesday whether they were talking.

"I have not had conversations with Senator Clinton because she has been getting a well-deserved vacation," he said at the time. "We will be speaking I think in the next few days or certainly the next week and will be having an ongoing conversation."

McCain, Helped by Republican Party, Has More Money Than Obama Jonathan D. Salant and Kristin Jensen

June 21 (Bloomberg) -- John McCain, who was outraised by a 2-1 margin by Barack Obama during the presidential primaries, entered June with almost as much money as the presumptive Democratic nominee.

When combined with the Republican National Committee's bank balance, McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, had more money to spend than Obama during the three months leading up to the national party conventions.

McCain, an Arizona senator, had $31.6 million as of May 31, compared with $33.3 million for Obama, Federal Election Commission records show. The RNC had $53.5 million to just under $4 million for the Democrats. The party committees act as shadow campaigns, concentrating their efforts on backing the presidential candidates.

Obama, 46, and Democratic fundraisers have turned their attention to filling the DNC's coffers now that the Illinois senator has secured the party's nomination. A fundraiser at Ethel Kennedy's Hickory Hill estate in Virginia earlier this week netted close to $6 million, and a May 31 event in New York City headlined by former Vice President Al Gore brought in around $1 million more.

``There are going to be lots of people who are going to come now to help the DNC,'' said Clay Constantinou, a former U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg who raised more than $1 million for Democrat John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign.

Obama, Clinton

Still to be determined is what help, if any, Obama will provide to assist his vanquished Democratic rival, New York Senator Hillary Clinton, pay off her campaign debts. She lent her campaign $2.2 million last month, bringing her total loans to $12.2 million, and owed another $10.3 million to vendors and consultants, including $4.6 million to former chief strategist Mark Penn.

Obama raised $21.2 million in May for the pre-convention period, bringing his total to $277 million, the most ever by any candidate for president. President George W. Bush raised $262 million for his 2004 re-election campaign. Obama also raised close to $700,000 for the general election, bringing that total to $9.9 million, campaign spokesman Bill Burton said.

Though Obama does not take donations from registered lobbyists, he did receive $19,558 from employees of ex-Greenberg Traurig LLP, which once employed imprisoned Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Greenberg Traurig represents such companies as General Motors Corp. and DirecTV Group Inc. on Capitol Hill. Obama also received $16,146 from Microsoft Corp. employees and $14,472 from International Business Machines Corp. employees.

Last Month

Obama spent $26.8 million last month, bringing his total to $252.4 million.

McCain, 71, had his biggest fundraising period last month, raising $20.9 million and bringing his total to $121 million, plus $1 million from his Senate account. That is the second-most ever raised by a Republican candidate, trailing only Bush in 2004. He spent $11.7 million in May, and has now spent $90.3 million for his campaign.

Employees of Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. gave $10,125 and employees of Morgan Stanley donated $9,170 to McCain. Merrill employees gave $9,166 and Morgan Stanley employees gave $11,994 to Obama.

Obama said Thursday that he wouldn't take federal financing for the general election, becoming the first major-party candidate to reject such funding since the post-Watergate law took effect for the 1976 election.

McCain said he would take the $84.1 million in taxpayer money and forgo fundraising for the general election, other than for legal and accounting costs. McCain raised $2.2 million for those expenditures last month.

The Wall Street Boyz may not get Hillary, but a proxy of their choosing as condition for supporting Obama. The idea is to limit the amount of change Obama can make.

That all nice and dandy, tabulla the prescient; however, Hillary Clinton will not be the Veep.
