I can't speak for afchic, but if Obama wins Hillary won't get another shot until 2016. Eight years is an eternity in politics and lord knows what will happen to her between now and then. I wouldn't put it past Clinton to pop an October surprise, through intermediaries of course, on Obama in the hopes that it scuttles him this year giving Hillary a clear path to 2012.
As it is a big Clinton donor is suing in Federal Court claiming that Obama doesn't meet the requirements to run for the Presidency. I am sure she could have pressured him into forsaking his suit but she hasn't. I do find it interesting that both Bill and Hillary are doing the bare minimum to help Obama. Just enough to avoid bringing down the wrath of the left wing of the party but not nearly as much as they could.
