Bill on Hillary and Barack

Monday on ABC’s The View, former President Bill Clinton said that although he understands and respects Obama‘s choice in running mate, he believes his wife, New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, ├óΓé¼┼ôwould have been the best politically.├óΓé¼┬¥

The former White House bad boy said that he likes Senator Biden and acknowledged that selecting a running mate is a “personal choice.” He also added that Hillary didn’t really want to be Obama’s running mate and that she loves being a “senator from New York.”

Spin, spin, sugar!

Despite his remarks, Bill remained vague on whether or not he thought his wife would have been a better choice because she is a woman, securing the now wavering Democratic female vote.

He diplomatically explained:

“Voting is a complicated process. We give our allegiances to candidates and parties and issues for all kinds of reasons. We vote for some people because we like them even though we disagree with them. We vote for some people because we identify with them on race or gender.
“It’s not an entirely rational process, and it is different for everybody.”

That’s not exactly reassuring!
