well, in a "normal" world, his bumbling buffoonery in dealing with the Syria situation *should* disqualify him from consideration. But this is politics, and "normal" don't have nothin to do wit it.
Obama likes Biden for VP for the same reason Bill Clinton liked Gore and Reagan liked Bush. Their VP's ineptitude is not a threat to their power, and makes the presidents look better and more competent in comparison. For this reason, Kerry's odds of being Hillary's VP pick may still not be zero.
If he is not to be considered, I imagine that Hillary will choose someone of Latino origin, or, at the very least, a "White Hispanic". Two women would be too risky, and two pasty whites may be too off-putting to the liberal base. Hillary's niche will be as a white woman with male Latino VP. But who would fit this description and would qualify for consideration? I do not have any specific examples off the top of my head.
