Rumors abound that should Clinton win, she'll offer the VP spot to Obama. The apoplexy potential for HateRadio hosts and bloggers is just too inviting- I would probably be able to vote that ticket.

It would be interesting if she actually offered. But she never actually would (no president wants a VP that might outshine them) and if she did he'd never accept (since it would taint his attempt to run again in 8 years).

Why do you all keep saying 8 years? Is there a reason it wouldn't be in 4 years, when we do this all over again?

Sorry, I'm sure it's a stupid question but I've seen a few of you make the same reference and I just don't understand.

Whoever gets the Democratic nomination will pick Bill Richardson. McCain will pick Huckabee. Then, when McCain busts out in a new round of melanomas and the Democratic nominee is assassinated, it will be Richardson v. Huckabee, as I divined.

Any ticket that includes Hillary is, from my point of view, unacceptable.

However she is unlikely to win the nomination and he's unlikely to pick her as a running mate.
