Nah, Obama would be too much voltage at the bottom of the ticket.

As a side note, no one has ever been elected president who took more than 14 years to do so from their first major office. If he waits till 012 or 016 the odds are against him.

I don't think he would be that foolish. It is too early is his political career to do this, especially due to fact that the pressure to run is coming from the lack of any other viable candidates. Everone knows whoever takes office next term is ****ed. If he's smart he'll wait at least 8 years.

Actually I'm lightening up to this whole "run for president thing" I don't really think he'd make it through the primaries, althought he'd get a bunch of votes. But virtually anyone in the DNC would kill to have him as a running mate. Why wait 8 years when you can be Vice Pres, and then run for Pres. after that? Seems like a win-win situation to me.
