If Obama wants to win, he will pick Clinton as VP.

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.

Senator Clinton is running out of $$$$.....

It is time for her to pull the plug on her campain, unless she wants to spend Chelsea's inheritance.

Further more she is damaging the chance for the Dems to win in November. The smart decision is to go back to a " dream ticket " scenario, but this time around with Senator Obama on top.

Two questions remain:
Will her ego get in the way of accepting a VP position?
Can Sen. Obama forgive her for a nasty and " hormonal " campain?
