I never understood the choice. Obama does not need her anymore. In fact, his victory meant that he wrestled the party from them. It is an opportunity to "turn the page". Why bring them back in?
I am not sure where this idea has come from that Obama "wrestled the party from" anyone, or that he "upended the Democratic Party" as Morris put it. What exactly did Obama do that every politician running for president does not do? I don't recall him denigrating the Democratic Party. Unless we are supposed to equate the Clintons with the Democratic party, which would probably be a bit of a surprise for Howard Dean, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, et al.
As for "Change", I think it is totally and completely obvious that the change in question is meant to be a change from the Bush years. Why people insist on pretending otherwise is another mystery I cannot solve.
