Everybody wants in to the Pepsi Center:
With the Democratic National Convention opening on Monday, some lawmakers and senior party officials said their offices and political operations were receiving significantly fewer of the passes that will allow entry to the Pepsi Center and access to the floor than they have received for past conventions.
Grousing by politicians about a shortage of credentials, convenient hotel rooms and party invitations is as much a convention tradition as the balloon drop. But top aides and others in Democratic circles said the problem was more pronounced than usual this year and could be potentially serious because they typically use credentials to reward top contributors and campaign supporters who want a taste of the political moment. Those people are clamoring for access to the nomination of Senator Barack Obama, eager to be on hand as the Democratic Party taps its first African-American presidential nominee.- NY Times

Oh, how could Obama ever work with Hill given her alleged racial comments, which in my view never occurred. But Biden is on the record calling the first serious black candidate for presient 'clean' and 'articulate'? You want to talk race. Those were the worst, most racist comments from any Dem. candidate in the campaign. So he gets picked for veep.
Finally, regarding your comment, God forbid the Democratic party allow professional women to have a major role. In case you didn't know, most professional women in politics have professional husbands. Why is there a double standard, where female spouses are never an issue but the male ones are? And I don't really see why having a vp married to a former president is a good thing. In bizarro world it is a bad thing.
