It's too bad Clinton and Obama have developed, from all accounts, such personal animosity towards each other; a Clinton-Obama ticket could be unstoppable and combine all the things that the voters are looking for--a sense of history-making (double dose!), and the style plus substance to achieve the policy goals they both share (which, as far as I can tell, is all of them.)
In addition, it makes the Obama the presumptive incumbent in 2016. This interesting Atlantic piece points out that that was something Hillary may have thought all along, until Obama "jumped the queue" and decided to take her on. Unfortunately, they probably won't be able to get over the nastiness this race has engendered. Not to mention the possibility that Americans can maaaaybe make one leap, but not two...
