I agree, and I think that's the best way to go for now. America may say it's ready for a female president, but I'd be really surprised if they actually voted that way. I think if Hillary Clinton were to run in 2008, she'd make a good showing, but she'd be defeated by a Republican man. The Democratic party can't take that kind of risk right now. We've got to make ousting the Bush Dynasty (I heard John McCain on Sunday suggest -- only half-jokingly -- that Jeb Bush will seek the GOP nomination in 2008) our top priority, and no matter how good a job we all know Hillary Clinton would do in the White House, we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot by nominating her for president. Veep, on the other hand, would be a great position for her: she'd have a few years to convince America of what a fabulous world leader she'd make, and to convince them also that she's not just a puppet for Bill (there are people who think that, assholes). I think the Democrats can't miss by nominating her for Veep.

Yeah. It's ironic that some of the same people who're saying she's Bill's puppet are most likely the ones that are saying that he was her puppet during his terms.
I wish there were some way we could elect BOTH of them.

*sigh* I miss Bill.
