Keep as a pet? possibly, but domesticate? not really.
Heh I remember this. You'd think they'd only give out raccoons that have been spayed and neutered.
There's a possibility you could domesticate them over time. They have short breeding cycles, are decently social animals, and are infamous for their indiscriminating diet. I think it's just hard to justify the cost as anything more than a hobby project, though they might do a lot for insects in the home.
