I have to share your Dissent of the Day's sentiment, though for different reasons.  I'd given some thought to the possibility you propose, but then I began imagining the liberties our current Vice President has taken with regard to the powers of his office--terrible, and disturbing, precedents. I know you'd agree.  I'm not and have never been among those spouting the she-had-Vince-Foster-murdered meme, but we've all been witnesses to the Clintons' hunger for power, their sense of entitlement--remember the "inevitability" meme?  Why feed that by granting her the vice-presidency?  To put her a step away from the Presidency, though it would certainly be a magnanimous gesture on Obama's part, would be, I fear, far too much temptation.  She--both directly and through those closest to her--has shown herself to be far less magnanimous, especially toward those whom she feels "owe" her and her husband.]]>
