As Obama’s VP Decision Draws Near Democrats Make It Clear That They Want Hillary

A strong plurality of Democrats say they want Hillary to be Obama’s VP.

(CBS) Senator Hillary Clinton is by far the favorite choice for the number two spot on the Democratic ticket, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll of delegates to the Democratic convention. When asked who they would like Barack Obama to select, 28 percent volunteer her as their top choice for Vice Presidential nominee.
Six percent volunteer Delaware Senator Joe Biden, and four percent mention two other unsuccessful Democratic candidates: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former North Carolina Senator John Edwards. [Most of the interviews for this poll were conducted before Edwards admitted to having an extramarital affair.] Another 4 percent volunteer Indiana Senator Evan Bayh.

Obama won’t pick Hillary as his VP (can you imagine living your life as the only thing between Hillary and the oval office?), but that puts Obama in a pretty tough spot. By choosing someone else Obama removes the last chance of reconciliation with the Clintons and Hillary’s supporters are free to support McCain this year. Or stay home and pout.
Either way, I expect Obama’s numbers to take a serious dip once he puts to an end any chance of Hillary being on the ballot in any role this November.

    No matter his choice, he loses. Much like McCain

    I dunno, if he managed to pick a young, socially available Veep, who did more than just stand behind the war hero, he’d hold ground fairly well I think.

    We can only cross our fingers and say a prayer that he doesn’t go for Clinton… I have no way to even suspect who he’s going for, but Clinton as a veep? And I used to think Dick Cheney had too much sway…

    I love that picture of Hillary about to cut loose with the force lightning.

    Pick Hillary and be ready with an offical food taster and car igniton turner and stay away from large bodies of water and high spots.

    How can anyone think that ?!?!?! It’s already been done! No competent assassin attacks from the expected direction. Besides, I think she’s relish the political torture/death more. Something falls out of a closet and ruins his career and life.
