I have two words as to why Obama should not even offer VP to Clinton:
Vince. Foster.
Personally, I like Sebelius as Veep. She gave the rebuttal to the SotU speech (much like Obama's keynote at the DNC), she's done a pretty good job as governor, and she's done it without throwing hissy-fits to the press. Plus, she's squeeky-clean as politicians go. Wesley Clark would be a smart choice but not one that I'd like, for the same reason that you can forget about Edwards: they're simply incompatible with Obama's image of Change(tm).
For the Republicans, man, I don't know anything that can save McCain. Romney is the easy choice, since he's younger and can be trusted not to pull a Dan Quayle. If I were playing Fantasy Politics here, though, I think I'd go the other way with Ron Paul. You pick up an extremely zealous (if largely ineffective) base, and you can honestly go toe-to-toe with Obama in the Change(R) category by letting Ron's leash out a little.
What the DNC needs to figure out, and figure out now, is that Hillary Clinton is about as likeable as a Chlymidia-infested Roger Clemens-skunk love child with leprosy. She's a cancer to the Democrat Party and the very concept of representative government.
