Barack won't pick Hillary for a much simpler reason than that: Barack values Barack's skin. How long after a BHO/HRC ticket won the election would it be before Hillary was making a "Hero of the people, died before his time, we must carry his vision forward" speech?
Not long enough for a prudent man's sense of self-preservation, I would think.

We have a winner, right there. I believe that is the sole reason Barack stayed the hell away from the Clintons. That bunch of trailer trash leaves bodies in their wake like Sherman went through Georgia.
