1. Indeed
If he is legally allowed to do so then by all means I fullwell support his VP candidacy. This being said I would bet a lot of money that this never happens.

2. Yes, you need say more...
He's not eligible without some Constitutional acrobatics, there's no reason he'd want the position, he'd upstage Kerry big time, the party needs to move on and embrace the new up-and-coming Dems (Obama, Ford, Landrieu, Edwards, Sibelius, Napolitano, Warner, Richardson) in general, even though not all of those would make great VP picks.

Clintons and Bushes have been in the White House in one capacity or another for 24 years. It's time to move on.

3. i know...
I know he never would be, but i'd still love to see him there anyway.

Even making him a cabinet member would be great too.

4. OMG no!
Big Dog is all that and a bag of pnuts, but there are huge downsides to your idea

Its workable constitutionally, but just not worth it, and Kerry would NEVER ask him. Lol!

Clinton would make a great ambassador to the UN, though...

7. Nevermind about Clinton
With his comments supporting Bush's invasion of Iraq and that he just didn't agree with the "timing", Clinton is now on my shitlist BIGTIME. Hasn't he heard? TIMING IS EVERYTHING! Not to mention that they never found the stockpiles of biological or chemical weapons and no WMD's.

8. Let's amend the Constitution before next month.
There's a distinct difference of opinion among legal scholars as to whether this would even be constitutional...

BAD idea.
