I think the is a better possibility that Hillary could named the Vice President nominee to give her more stature in the 2008 election while hoping her presence on the ticket would help the overall results and provide coattails for members Congress.
I think the(re) is a better possibility that Hillary could (be) named the Vice President nominee I agree, this would be the most prudent approach but I wonder how desperate she might be to grab the brass ring. Riding in at the last minute to 'save the day' could allow her to escape close examination as well. A couple of appearances on Letterman with softball questions (given in advance, of course) could help also.
