Clinton is about as centrist as it gets. She is not going to nominate a flaming liberal unless it is for payback to the Republicans and that would sow bad feelings that would interfere with her legislative goals. I think she would be fine with Obama's nominee though his age may work against him.
Rumor is that Clinton will nominate Obama for the SCOTUS. That will set fire to the GOP!

Yeah, wouldn't it?
Even if Obama WANTS the job - which he may not - he'll probably want to take some time off first.
I saw the rally where the issue of nominating Obama first came up - it was mentioned by a member of the audience. Hillary's face just lit up. It was obviously a new suggestion for her. It was also obvious that she thought it was a wonderful idea.
It could well happen down the road - and I think Obama would be a WONDERFUL choice.

She won't. If she wins the Senate will move to nominate Garland I'm sure. They will then use that compromise as justification to nominate a liberal for Kennedy's seat if he dies/retires.
Here in Pennsylvania Hillary leads Donald by an 11 point spread according to the latest Franklin and Marshall poll.
Donald would be better off campaigning vigorously in Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Wisconsin ... I think he has lost Pennsylvania.
He has lost Virginia and Colorado. Too many Hispanics and College educated voters that aren't going to vote for him. Wisconsin doesn't really like him much either. He did his worst in the midwest. They don't seem to like his brash style out there. He has to win PA/FL or he is toast. More than likely both of them honestly.
The GOP is now concerned that the states that he loses by more than 10 points could also jeopardize other races in Congress. Trump might actually help not only the Democrats to potentially win back the Senate, as well as close the gap in the House, Clinton and him might even help a few third party candidates win some elections in Congress. (Though that last one is more of a hopeful wish, since I am not really following any other state elections besides the ones in Oregon.)
The GOP has won the last 12 Presidential elections in Utah by at least 19% - most of them haven't been nearly that 'close', though. The last Democrat to carry the state was LBJ, who won there by almosts 10% in 1964.
