If Hillary decides to run the best he can hope for is VP.

LOL. In that case I guess he'll have to wait until 2012 or 2014...'cos he ain't gonna get a look in if Clinton decides to run.

A bit off topic, but only a bit. Has anyone else noticed that there has been a recent increase in media ads (in the US) that feature models looking like Obama?
BTW - He'll get my vote.

I'm not sure that Clinton has the grass roots support that Obama can bring, I also think in states where you don't have to declare party affiliation you will see Obama cream Clinton. Independents and some moderate republicans are going to vote for him.

The arguement that he is inexperienced holds no weight after two bush's and a Ronnie Raygun have made such a cock up of things. Maybe just for the national psyche it would be good to have a mixed race president for a few days (hours/minutes/seconds) before some redneck assasinates him. Any thoughts BE?
Hardly a cock-up.
