Obama has the nomination; But let's face it, Hillary Clinton had 50% of the Democrats' votes.
In order to make sure some of her votes do not go to McCain in November ( some polls indicate that up to 30% of Hillary's electorate could defect to McCain) she needs to be on the ticket.
Some Obama's supporters are very much against the idea. In my opinion, if he picks someone else, it would be a huge, and potentially catastrophic, blunder. Obama needs Clinton for the older demographic, the blue collars and a large percentage of the women's vote.
The Dems are divided right now, between the two camps. The only way to speed up the " healing" process is to have both of them on the ticket.
Obama will need a consumate Washington insider, like Hillary Clinton, to navigate the dark waters of Washington's politic. Hillary is tough and would make a great " enforcer" for Obama.
McCain is focusing his attacks on Obama's " lack of experience", having Clinton on his side would make this type of attacks less effective. After all, she did spend 8 years in the White House and was one of Bill Clinton's key advisers.
Hillary Clinton indicated that she would like the VP position. If Obama turns her down, it would be a very bad mistake and would likely translate into McCain.....in the White House on 1/20/2009.

if he wants to do what the people want, he will put her on the ticket, and insure a win for the dem. party. if he wont do that most people i talk with will stay home, and that is like a vote for mc cain. who slew able?
TO GUARANTEE A WIN, OBAMA NEEDS TO DEFINITELY SELECT HILLARY AS A RUNNING MATE. THE PEOPLE IN SC HAD A HARD TIME CHOOSING BETWEEN HIM AND HILLARY BECAUSE THEY LOVE THE CLINTON'S DEARLY; HOWEVER THEY CHOSE OBAMA. THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE FROM SC WOULD BE GREATLY HURT IF HILLARY IS NOT SELECTED AS VP. A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE HERE SAYS IF SHE IS NOT SELECTED, THEN THEY WILL STAY AT HOME AND NOT VOTE;THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THE SLICK, HIDDEN REPUBLICANS MIGHT EVEN FOOL OBAMA NOT TO PICK HILLARY SO THAT THEY CAN WIN.
IF OBAMA WANTS TO BE ELECTED TO OFFICE HE WILL NAME HILLARY AS THE PRESIDENT AND HE WILL BE THE VICEPRESIDENT. IF HE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT (I DOUBT IT), HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IF CLINTON COULDN'T DO ANY THING WHAT IS THE CHANCES FOR OBAMA TO BREAK THROUGH THE RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY. FAT CHANCE
Hillary Clinton would not be an asset to an Obama campaign; McCain is not a choice most Democrats would make in protest to her absence on the ticket. I fit all of these demographic lines, female, older, blue collar---there is not a VP candidate on earth who would cause me to vote for the murderous, evil Republicans.
