2. I like that except for the VP slot.
Hillary or Clark would be better.

3. I don't think Hillary would accept second fiddle to Obama...
If she wins the top spot, she may offer the VP to Obama, which I assume he would accept.

6. That's probably true. Add Richardson to my list for VP slot.
I just don't like Webb - plus we need him to keep his Senate seat.

12. I think Hillary would accept the #2 spot but Barack would not
Hillary would see that as a genuine opportunity to do the policy wonk stuff, just like Al Gore did. Barack would not like to take a seat behind Bill Clinton, and there's no question Bill would "be there." And Barack is not the policy wonk guy; he's the big picture guy.

7. Exactly what I was thinking, we need every Dem Senator to stay
where they are. Except Obama, we need him as President.
