Permit me to calibrate something for the Obama campaign.
Do you want a high Republican turnout in November?

You don't?
Then don't even look like you're ready to suggest this:
It's likely that the next president will face at least one Supreme Court vacancy. Obama should promise Hillary Clinton, now, that if he wins in November, the vacancy will be hers, making her first on a list of one.
(Via Ann Althouse, via Instapundit)
...because, frankly, it not only won't help you get past November; it won't even help you get to November. Because we can start fund-raising on this right now, if you like - and even if you don't like. Especially if you don't like, in fact. More fun that way, really.
But please, do offer the fellow who made this suggestion a job, too. I imagine that he has all sorts of ah, "unique" advice to offer you.

Now Moe, when I awaken after midnight, sheets drenched in cold sweat, I will curse you, and you will be cursed but good.

knowing that she's not pro-abortion enough for Obama to appoint her.

She would probably be marginally better than Souter, or Darth Vader Ginsburg.

I read a post somewhere or other about appointing both Bill and Hillary Clinton to the Supreme Court. I think the person had malicious intent, though, and was just daydreaming about the strokes, heart attacks, etc. he thought it might induce.
The suggestion that Hillary might be interested in Supreme Court is simply nuts. Hillary is always hungry for spotlight, it's just stupid to believe she'd be interested in wearing a black robe in the next 20 or so years.
I can assure you if she feels she's been slighted this time, she will try everything possible to create a third-party out of the current democratic party in the days ahead.
What a delightful electoral map that could create, but not going to occur for precisely that reason.
she would lose any ability to come back in 2012 and say I told you so.

Have your chickens come home to roost lately?
that Hillary losing the primary would be the end of the Clinton dynasty, and she would just join all of the other senators at the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Diner. I once joked that she might play Ted Kennedy to Obama's Carter in 2012, but that is about as realistic as her running a third party candidacy this year.
Unity '08--Clinton/Paul...the dead-ender ticket.
And no, I'm not a Paultard. Some Clintonista was already dreaming of this pairing last year. We'll just have to wait and see how things turn out in Denver.

I've never considered her hungry for the spotlight -- hungry for power YES, but not the spotlight. As an appointee to SCOTUS she'd never have to face election again, and would be one of the nine most important votes* cast on issues critical to America. Her influence on American law, culture, and society would far outweigh anything she could accomplish even if she had fully controlled minions having 2/3 of both houses of Congress. Even better from her vantage point, she'd never have to campaign again, which she hates.
And they are all going to rue the day they passed her over for Barack. Even Barack will cower down and apologize. After all, she'll be cracking the whip at him when he returns to the Senate chamber carrying his *ss that McCain handed to him.

Just a typical, small town, white girl...
I hope McCain stays alive long enough. He's pretty old... and sick. You know why he was so broken up about Ted Kennedy? Because they're about the same age and they both have cancer! McCain was crying for himself!
34 mins as a member of a site that has endorsed John McCain as their candidate and this is what you choose to say.

This might be the one decision Obama could make that would get me knocking on doors here in the People's Republic to urge voters to choose McCain.
Thank God Obama isn't that stupid.

I hope.
