Barack Obama Will Not Choose Hillary Clinton As His Running Mate.
If Obama is the democratic parties nominee, he will not choose Senator Clinton to run with him on the ticket. There is just too much bad blood between the two candidates. The two campaigns have been the source division within the democratic party to the extent that some democratic voters have said that they would not vote for the democratic nominee in the general election if it is not the candidate that they are supporting.

I agree, but i think he's screwed either way.

If he chooses someone else, which I think he will, then all Hillary's supporters will vote for McCain because they hate obama.

But if he does choose her, then many people will see this as a weakness because they will say he was just giving in to pressure.

I've grown to loathe Hillary during this campaign and I certainly think he shouldn't even think about making her his running mate considering the disgraceful campaign she has run. I can't say I'm confident that he won't, however. He likes to make unconventional bridge-building times gestures. It fits with the image he likes to project as a unifying figure.

You're right that some Hillary supporters are probably so embittered that they won't vote for Obama in the election, though it depends on what she herself says and does after she finally acknowledges her inevitable defeat (unless Obama gets whacked first, of course, haha). If anything, this makes it more likely that he will offer her the slot, though, because it's the only sure way to heal the rift.

Billary would be a sinister interfering influence in any Obama administration, and he should reject the idea of a Hillary VP outright.
