One is the Loneliest Number

I frankly don't think it's going to come to this anyway
Intrade data this AM is 82-18 Barack/Hillary

But it is on folks minds

Hillary Clinton - Bill Clinton - Presidential Election of 2008 : "“Do we really want a rerun of that soap opera?” Among friends and acquaintances talking through their presidential choices, it often comes down to this: excited to have two such inspiring candidates as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, they all roll their eyes at the melodramatic baggage that comes along with the former first couple. Not merely for the undecided voters among us, but for everyone involved, I think the situation calls for a deus ex machina solution drawn straight from the soaps themselves. Whisking a star offstage — often to some dire fate or unspecified location — is the tried-and-true secret to rescuing a flagging story line. For a campaign badly in need of an upswing, the moment has come for Hillary to declare plans to dispatch Bill to Africa once she takes office."
