I seriously doubt he's dumb enough to run in 2008.  It'd likely kill his career.  I'd expect him in 2012 if the Dem loses or 2016 if they win.  It's also not impossible that he gets a VP slot in the even that an insanely experienced candidate (Biden namely) gets the nomination.

  Even if picked for VP, he runs the risk of succumbing to the Geraldine Ferraro syndrome of tokenism, though not as badly as she did.

No, not close.  An equivalent would have been Rep. Howard Ford being picked by John Kerry in 2004.
