It's the concept of a dream ticket, with a unique twist.

Let's explore the "what if" of a dream ticket. For starters, Hillary Clinton is probably not anxious to assume the role of Vice President nominee, but there's a carrot. What if... Hillary is approached and informed that at the end of Obama's first term he will agree to announce that he will not seek re-election. Hillary can then announce her candidacy for president and select her running mate, a running mate with experience named Barrack Obama. At the end of Hillary's term, she can then announce that she won't seek re-election. Obama can announce his candidacy with his running mate, an experienced running mate named Hillary Clinton. At the end of Obama's second term, once again he can announce he won't seek re-election. Hillary announces her candidacy with Obama as her running mate.

Sixteen years of qualified, experienced leadership would provide a stark contrast to the eight years of corruption and incompetence brought to us by the Republicans. It's even possible that after one crushing defeat after another the Republicans might give the heave-ho to the wacko neo-cons that have hijacked their party. Having two political parties governed by rational people that only disagree on policies, rather than secret agendas would be good for America.

I'm a realist and fully recognize the unlikely aspect of this dream ticket scenario. Ok, I'll concede... ain't never-ever gonna happen, but dang if it wouldn't be some kind of strategy. It hasn't been that long ago that even imagining a president that happens to be a woman, or African-American would have been summarily dismissed as ludicrous. So maybe? Whadda ya think of that one buckaroos?
