Obama will be under indictment by the time the Democratic National Convention kicks off.

It would never happen. Hillary would never want to be VP, and she wouldn't want a VP who outshone her. Obama wouldn't want to be VP under someone who would probably take her husband's advice over his.
Otherwise, a Clinton/Obama ticket (in that order) would be the best thing for the party.

When was the last time a nominee picked the runner-up as VP?
It just usually doesn't work that way. The VP is almost always someone who can pick up states that the nominee normally wouldn't.

Kerry/Edwards. But historically, yes, it's unusual.

Seriously, why would Obama take Clinton? The states she's strongest in (New York and California and other "blue" states) will vote for him anyway. I could see why she would want him as a running mate, because he appeals to some voters in "red" states, but not the reverse.
