It's comforting to know that Madame Secretary will be spending this week on the other side of the world, not delivering an acceptance speech in Charlotte.

Hillary signing onto the ticket as VP would have two possible outcomes, both bad for her: (1) They win, and she then has to defend the Second Regime's record in 2016 or (2) They lose.
Best outcome for Hillary: Obama wins, and the office is open in 2016. Probable outcome for Hillary: retirement in the face of an impossible run against a hugely successful Republican president.
We can certainly hope so. At the moment, I have concluded that either Romney wins in a landslide, or he loses in the "closest election in history". I suspect it will take landslide-style margins to hold on to a win in the face of Democrat legal-challenges and voter fraud.
