It's fairly simple to conjecture as to why the Clintons are agreeing to campaign for BHO when of all political operatives, the Clintons are the most sophisticated and cagey. What is going on behind the scenes with these two as to why they are so "on board" with the man that stole the nomination from Hillary?
Let's see if we can guess. First, the Clintons are nothing but politicians first and foremost. What does this tell us about their motives? Remember, politicians do what is in their own self-interest, so what is in the best interests of the Clintons if BHO obtains the White House?
1. The current UN Secretary-General, Ban ki-Moon, has talked about not seeking another term which opens the way for the appointment by huge global approval of none other than, yes, Bill Clinton! It has been so secret that he wants to aspire to this position and needs a Democratic, well-like US President to support his appointment in 2010 to begin serving in Jan 2011. Until that time, I think that Bill will be offered the now vacant US Ambassadorship to the UN to prepare him for the 2010 appointment. Ahhhhh, you say, now it makes sense.
2. Hillary Clinton has been offered either the AG (Attorneys-General) or Secretary of State cabinet position in a BHO White House. This would set her up to take the VP when Biden refuses to run again in 2012 so she can be the assumed nominee in 2016. Ahhhhh, you say, now it makes sense. Also, don't worry about HC moving from the Senate to the Cabinet since the current Democratic Governor of NY will appoint a Democratic replacement until an election can be mounted. This would preserve the SMDC.
3. Colin Powell has been offered the Secretary of Defense position so that he can be the spearhead to withdraw the troops from Iraq just before he has to put them back in when Iran overruns Iraq.
4. Kerry and Edwards will also be given prominent positions in the BHO White House.
So now you can understand why certain people say and do certain things. It's pure politics.
