Joe Scarborough: “You wrote a fascinating article a couple of days ago talking about something you think President Obama might do that would help his re-election chances.”

New York Times' Bill Keller: “Not something that he might do, but something I think he would be well-advised to do, and that is to put Hillary Clinton on the ticket as his vice presidential nominee this year. I’m not going to predict that they’re going to do it. There are a number of obstacles in the way. One of them is Barack Obama; one of them is Hillary Clinton, and another one is Joe Biden. It’s the one thing, I think, that the Democrats could do to nearly guarantee Obama re-election. It would generate enough excitement that they might actually have some coattails and help out a little bit with the Senate and the House. And it would position Hillary as the heir apparent for 2016, assuming she wants to run.”
