He would more likely ask Edwards.

If Obama gets the nomination it is almost certain that Hillary Clinton will not be his running mate. The reasons are pretty clear:
1) Hillary Clinton has been the front-runner throughout most of the primary season. Anything less than the nomination is less than what was expected of her candidacy, and the running mate must be seen as a proven winner.
2) Mr. Obama's campaign message is about change and about moving on from the Clinton and Bush presidencies. Taking Mrs. Clinton as a running mate would be hypocritical to what he wants to accomplish.
3) Obama and Clinton are in a dead heat. These last days leading up to the first contests in the nomination will get rather heated and neither camp is going to be showing much love for the other. Neither candidate is likely to be on great terms in the immediate aftermath. However, Clinton or Obama will likely concede graciously and most bitterness should be relinquished by the convention in the summer.

That would not make any sense. Polls show that Hillary would lose to any one of the Republican front runners in the general election; whereas either Obama or Edwards would win in the general. This is though Hillary leads in the primary.
It would only make sense to add Edwards on the ticket.
The only person hated more by conservatives than Hillary is probably Jane Fonda.

No, I don't think that ticket will ever happen, regardless of which one of them gets the nomination. They really despise each other. If you haven't been keeping track of the Iowa caucuses or the NH primary, the back-and-forth between Obama and Clinton has been getting pretty nasty.
What I wouldn't be at all surprised to see, however, is an Obama/Edwards ticket.

Only if he wants to kill any chance of winning in the general election. Obama's nomination is the only thing that will give the dems a chance to beat back the Republicans in '08. I'd hate to see him piss that advantage away by shooting himself in the foot with a Clinton running mate.

No! after all the mudslinging and slander? Nominees normally get the 3rd or 4th place candidate from their party because it helps grab votes without pairing up with another major candidate. (that could cause the president himself to be overshadowed by the VP)
See that they both lose! Vote for Ron Paul!

I don't know if she would. I think the reason she didn't run in the last election was that if she lost, then she wouldn't have a second chance, and the President was incumbent. I can't see her taking second place to anyone.

I doubt it. Hillary has treated him very unfairly, and Obama doesn't like Hillary's vagueness and her flip flopping
Obama will choose Edwards or Richardson... who knows

No - I don't think that Hilary would want to be Vice President (nor would Obama). He probably already has a running mate in mind as does she.

Nope, he'll ask Al Gore

I doubt it since they seem to be bickering a bit now. Alliances have probably already been formed and the decision of running mates has probably already been decided.
