If the power point is the argument (2.00 / 1)

this is no argument at all.  The person who wins the democratic primary in a district/state/nation is not necessarily the best candidate in the general.  

The fact that hillary won 16 of 20 bush to blue districts is completely irrelevant.  How do they do against McCain in those districts?  How will they do after the nomination is sealed.  Maybe Obama gets all of Hillary's votes plus independents to win those districts in a landslide.  Maybe Hillary can't get any of Obama's votes to lose in a landslide.  I'm not saying that's what will happen, but the relevance of the powerpoint is weak.

The arg. against hillary as veep is tat she LOSES independents for Obama that he could win without her.  And that she increases turnout among the Republican base. Given her negatives and strong negatives, this is a strong argument against having her on the ticket.
