Also, please remember that BO did not reach the magic 1,600 delegates during the primary, and will not actually be the nominee until and unless he wins a sufficient number of superdelegates in the balloting at the convention. If BO wants to get HRC to stand down and lock up the nomination, then he needs to offer her the VP spot before the convention's roll call vote. By waiting until the vote, he runs the risk off HRC getting a majority of the superdelegates, in which case BO might be the one to get offered the VP spot. And boy would there be a lot of chagrin to pass around then.

That is what I keep trying to get across to no avail. There is a definite risk of HRC wrangling the nom away from BO, and I don't care what "safeguards" he thinks he's put in place. What are the safeguards, anyway? Armed guards? There
are no reliable safeguards against such an eventuality.
