There are only 2 choices for PRESIDENT Obama and McCain, they in turn have chosen 2 other candidates to run with as their VP..
those 2 candidates are going to play very different roles in the office should they get in, due to Obama's lack of experience his VP is going to play a far larger role in advisory influence and he was not even selected by HIS own party to even make it into the semifinals not once but twice and this is the man that you want to be making serious foreign policy suggestions to his younger less experienced President? ..all of his rock star status in Europe in the real world is going to have little to do with Obama, you should realize this it is going to be based more on what Biden recommends..your being very naive if you think otherwise..

on the other hand we have a relatively inexperienced VP candidate just as it should be, in sequence, being second and all that, with a rare hypothetical possibility that she might become the President and it being far less likely that she is going to have much influence at all on presidential decisions in her term.

Then there is all of the balances that would be keeping her in check as it were and advisers that would be helping her in such a case (just as they will be for Obama from the git go in his starring role). coupled with the fact that washington changes peoples perceptions, so her current views and policies might possibly change just as they did when she made the decision on the "bridge to nowhere". so lets not read too much into her being SECOND in command. that's the reality..
