Yeah, and THEN Hillary can run for president in 2016. That plan was hatched in 2008 when she dropped her bid for presidency, conceding to the Great Pretender.

But Joe Biden as Secretary of State? He won’t last long. They could kind of keep him hidden (while, I myself would have liked to see more of and hear more from Joe, just to see who he really is – a good guy or a putz, because I’ve never been sure) as VP, but as Secretary of State, he’ll have way too many public moments of serious import. But I wonder if President #Compromise is truly aware of the share of attention and power Hillary would be consuming as Vice President. She won’t be a Joe behind the curtain, I can guarantee him that.

Let’s see if he really gives her the opportunity. I won’t count those chickens before they hatch. He might have had need of her on the ticket in 2008, but it turns out he didn’t. In 2012, I don’t see that he has any need for her at all. He might have to be very careful about spurning her like he did his adoring and Hopeful supporters, though, if he made a devil’s bargain back in ’08.

We shall see.
