So if she picked Edwards as her running mate, then Blacks will get angry and think she is racist.
If she picked Obama, then Whites won't vote for her...
VOTE FOR
CLINTON/OBAMA 2008

I don't think she would pick either one for a running mate, and I don't think either one of them wants to be her running mate. If those two guys want the presidential slot they won't accept second best. Also, they would be too competitive with Hillary to accept second place. The VP candidate needs to mesh well with the presidential candidate. Usually they pick someone to balance their weaknesses, and to represent an area that is different from their own. That is, a northeastern presidential candidate might pick a VP candidate from the southwest, midwest, or southeast. A presidential candidate who is perceived to be "cold" might pick a charming "good ol' boy" for balance. And so forth....
Edwards was second fiddle to Gore, and I don't think he wants to replay that scenario.
Obama and Hillary bitterly contest each other, so it's hard to imagine them campaigning together.
Normally, the presidential candidate wants a lesser star for VP candidate.
