I don't think it's particularly likely, unless this thing drags on and Dean needs to step in to prevent a brokered convention. Even so, I'd greatly prefer Obama/Clinton over Clinton/Obama. I think a Clinton presidency would hurt Obama's chances at winning in the future. The next president has a huge mess to clean up, and I don't think Clinton would be able to do it while keeping Americans feeling good about her and the job she's doing, which would hurt the next Democratic nominee. As VP, Obama would also be unable to do most of the things I really like about him: things which are in direct contrast with Clinton, such as opening up government and reducing the influence of lobbyists.
