Initially I thought it was good idea if she chooses to campaign but further analysis proves beyond doubt that it is a bad idea. Here is why:
I believe that it is a great idea for Sen. Clinton to endorse Sen. Obama but if she campaigns for him it would totally undercut the credibility of Hillary, Bill and Barack. We live in a youtube age where every thing is so visual. Many of the people that would be voting in the GE are not people who would understand all the nuances of this primary campaign. There are videos floating around youtube that Republicans could use very effectively when ever the Clintons campaigns for Sen. Obama.
Hillary Clinton told reporters that both she and the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain offer the experience to be ready to tackle any crisis facing the country under their watch, but Barack Obama simply offers more rhetoric. "I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say," she said. "He's never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002." Clinton was referring to Obama's anti-war speech he delivered in Chicago before entering the United States Senate.
Sen. Obama stated many times that Hillary could not be trusted and lacks integrity so if Hillary campaigns for him it would undercut his image.
We may or may not readily admit it but the fact remains that the media has savaged Hillary during this primary season. When she campaigns do you really expect their knives would not come out?
