Not Doable Or Desireable
I just don't like the idea.
Even Hillary's foes say she is a brilliant woman and that they respect her. In her day, there really wasn't the window of opportunity for a bright woman with lots of ideas and an activist spirit. So, she married a driven man (who probably wasn't good enough for her) and helped him become President of the United States. While I think Bill Clinton is just as smart and definitely more charismatic, he nearly lost everything they'd worked for over a piece of ass. I submit that after the Lewinsky incident, Hillary said "it's my turn!" and I think she deserved to say that because I think she was a primary reason why Bill, who had much humbler beginnings that she did, was able to become "leader of the free world." None of those women he was cheating with would have taken him beyond the Sheriff's office in Arkansas.
So, no, if the Obama frenzy takes him all of the way, I don't think that she should ride shotgun again. I love Obama to death and his talent is taking him places he really deserves to be. But, if Hillary can't eek this one out, I think she is an excellent Senator who can bring great change at that level. No ticket with Hillary being second in command should work for her. She's been there, done that. As Erikah Badu says, she'll have to see that office "next lifetime."
Obama and the presidential candidate. Clinton as vice. Doable?
