Shades of 1960. A charismatic young senator from the north needs an older southern senator to help deliver. As for the Obama can't win without Clinton... most democrat hardliners will come around because they'll realize 8 years of Bush will be replayed in 4 years of McCain. The moderates though will shy away because of Clinton's confrontational approach. She's the future Teddy Kennedy. Chet Edwards? Shades of 1960.

The one I'd be most concerned about would be the Republicans bringing up all her attacks and hiding behind the line that even his own VP thinks those things about him. If Obama could somehow navigate that, part of me is starting to hope she is the VP. Didn't he say recently that he wants someone who would butt heads with him?

The Republicans will gladly absorb all of the defectors, and consequently win the election. The Democratic base is too diversified to ever create a coalition that will please everyone, causing frequent splintering and defecting. It doesn't matter who Obama picks, at least one faction of the Democratic party will feign indignation and stalk off in a self-righteous huff. Interestingly, this could be perhaps the best year ever for a third party to push forward a popular, viable candidate. Now THAT would be interesting. Say "no" to the status quo, and NObama!

The best practical choices (in terms of the quality of advice they will give Obama) are Joe Biden, Sam Nunn or Chris Dodd. I think the best overall choice would have been Mark Warner, but I don't think he's planning to be anyone's second fiddle when he can be #1 in 8 years after winning a Senate seat a reelection.
