V.P.?
I was pondering who would be matched up with whom for V.P. Will Obama ask Hillary to be his running mate? Will she ask him? Either would be crazy but would they do it? I remember that the chosen mate is reputed to be a way to balance the ticket geographically and ideologically, but do they still do that? (In which case, how about David Duke with Obama, then? Oh, I'm just kidding!!) I heard a suggestion the other day that Bill might be Hill's running mate. Does the Constitution permit former presidents to be vice-presidents? If so, I bet that's one of their plans, don't you? It's nuts but it's a less onerous way for Bill to get back in the W.H. than as an unofficial advisor. I wonder how the general electorate would take to that, though? And there's always the possibility / likelihood that Obama or Billary will ask Edwards but I'm not sure he'd accept.

Edwards doesn't have a good record at running mate.

Obama/Clinton in either order would be the ultimate "guilt ticket" - if you don't vote for them you're against blacks *and* women! I can hear it now.

Which might make it a dreadful combo. Not sure Obama would like it anyway. And Bill seems to be trying to burn any and all bridges to Obama pretty methodically. Strange folks, those two.
