Obama would never take the demotion to VP, because he can push his agenda far more persuasively from the democratic controlled senate with a democrat in the white house. Getting connected to the scandals bound to come out of a Clinton whitehouse is probably a very bad idea as well. (If there aren’t any real scandals, some will be manufactured from without I promise you.) He’s a young man and will still be a relatively young man in 2016 (54) and certainly not too old in 2024 (62). It won’t be until 2032 that he’ll be as old as John McCain is now.That said neither will Clinton give up her senate seat to be Veep. She’s too old for another whitehouse run (except maybe in 2012 at 64 years old) and her agenda is best served in the senate as well.

It would be a good thing for the Democrats to come together, make the run for the White House and increase their numbers in the House and Senate.
