Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden really ought to have each other’s job, argues Sally Quinn in the Washington Post. All the arguments against giving Hillary Clinton the VP job—that she might not be happy, that Bill would be a problem, etc.—have effectively evaporated, and certainly haven't affected the job she's doing as secretary of state. She’s a tireless campaigner, young enough to run herself in 2016, and a perfect counterpoint to Sarah Palin and her "girl power" push.
Biden, meanwhile, has been rehabilitated from a gaffe-prone loose cannon into a reliable adviser. But his passion is foreign policy, and friends say secretary of state is his dream job. So give it to him. Sometime after the midterm elections, just make the switch. A couple confirmation votes later, Hillary could be on the campaign trail.
