VP games

In Michigan Clinton lost the African American vote to uncommitted. This is almost certainly due to anger over how Hillary is perceived to have played the race card against Obama. If Hillary wins and doesn't pick Obama as her VP then I suspect there will be considerable anger among the black community towards Hillary. The Republican nominee will likely take advantage of this anger by picking Condolezza Rice or Michael Steele as his VP. And to stop this outcome from occurring, if she wins the nomination Hillary will almost certainly ask Obama to be her VP.
