Is there room for one more?

I strongly doubt Clinton and Obama would team up, no matter how similar their political views are. What does a vice president do anyway? There was some speculation that Hillary might nominate John Edwards as her vice president candidate. I'm unsure at which point this nomination takes part though, as it seems first the party has to choose one candidate to run for the title.

Are you implying there is some political space between the Democrats and Republicans? ;-) From an European point of view it seems very narrow, but perhaps I don't see all aspects and differences in US politics.

I suppose if there emerges some very skilled, independent politican with his or her own party, either of the established parties would recruit him/her within the political viewpoints they have in common. It seems already today the different candidates in each party has quite some room for personal views, so while the party program may set a general direction, the personal influence may steer decisions either way.
