That would be her chance to make up for the damage she has done to the party, and the opposite of Ron's comment is still valid: that she would be useful on Obama's ticket to keep her supporters in the fold. It would never happen, but it's fun to think it through - McCain / Clinton? As a friend of mine says - it fits on a bumpersticker...

However if she does win she might not have any chance but to choose Obama (if he wants it). If Hillary wins it will most likely be due to doing things which are seen as unfair, and she will need Obama on the ticket to keep his supporters from staying home or voting for McCain. I'm not so sure Clinton would want to be VP as she could have more clout by going after a position such as Senate Majority Leader or possibly Governor of New York.

This is the MOST unlikely scenario (virtually impossible). But I'll tell you what we should watch for is the "unity ticket". People are talking about brokered conventions. When Hillary loses the remaining contest (i.e. fails to sweep), the proposal will be made for her to run as vice president on the Obama/Clinton ticket. Hillary is desperate enough to offer this. Hillary and Bill’s objective is to just get back into the White House. Watch for it. This is more like the “nightmare ticket”. This is the MOST unlikely scenario (virtually impossible).
