I think you are probably right. Not trying to be mean or anything, but politics lately has seem to taken a toll on her. The stress and all.
I also think it would be all or nothing.

Forget about Hillary as VP. I think the bigger question revolves around who the Pubs are going to nominate to get defeated by Obama. Thus far, all the GOP candidates are pretty damn pathetic.
Keep living in your dream world. obama is finished...!!

The congressional approval record is not relevant. A president is re-elected based on his performance over the past 4 years. Carter. George H. W Bush.

In the election 11 months ago, the Republicans crushed the Democrats across the country. I don't believe the Republicans are in trouble. The Tea Party helps the Republicans.

the tea party are republicans.

over 90 percent of them said they would vote for any republican candidate.

that is not a bipartisan, both parties are corrupt group.

the tea party is just a split within the republican party, but they are not independent of the republican party.

The Tea Party has made the congressional approval record very relevant. Back in the Carter/ GHW Bush days, congress didn't really have a face. Thanks to the Tea Party, they do now.

Look at the polling data. What faction of the Republican party is getting the blame?

Agnew was VP during Nixon's second term as well. Agnew retired suddenly one jump ahead of the law after it was discovered that he had been taking bribes since he had been the Governor of Maryland. The bribes continued uninterrupted into his Vice Presidency.

Ford was chosen as Agnew's replacement. When Nixon resigned about 18 months after Agnew, Ford became the only President who had never run as VP. Ford went from Speaker of the House to Vice President, and then the Presidency in only a bit over a year's time.

It's very unlikely the same scenario will ever be played out again in American politics. There are no comparisons that could be made in this topic, for sure.

I doubt Hillary would accept the Vice Presidency if offered. It could be possible that she won't want another 4 years as Secretary of State. After she's done with her present job, even if she agrees to another 4 years, she's through. At 68, she wouldn't want another run at the White House.
