I can't imagine, though, that she would have a serious shot at the position. She is clearly a "loyal lieutenant" type who exists primarily as an echo-chamber for her leader. She's not even independent-minded enough to throw Rummy and Cheney and the rest of the gang under the bus to salvage her own reputation. (Doug Feith did this pretty blatantly on 60 Minutes last night.) When much of the selection of a VP candidate will be driven by ensuring there's someone qualified to take over when (not "if") McCain keels over, she should and would be a last choice.
