This is from an article posted on Huffington by Mark Nickolas. I've decided that in order to deal with the stress of Palin, debates, bailouts, polls, etc, I will try to focus on what Obama's presidency will look like.

Oh man, Hillary Clinton as a Supreme Court nominee would make conservatives shit their pants.
Chuck Hagel as sec. of defense would be brilliant.
There was a lot speculation at one point awhile back that if Hilary became President she would consider Obama for Supreme Court... supposedly, among other reasons, to ensure he wouldn't run against her again and would sort of be out of her hair. Makes me wonder if Obama would do the same...
Hagel is very enticing, as is Caroline Kennedy as UN Secretary. Dick Lugar is a frightening prospect though.
