Quite possibly.
However, I believe that if Hillary does indeed want to mate, Obama definitely will be running.

If she wins the nomination it is possible. As the second place contender in the primaries right now he will be getting talked up the most, its happened before, Kennedy-Johnson, Reagan-Bush, Kerry-Edwards. But it could be a mistake. Hillary Clinton has very little red state appeal, and to win the Presidency she will technically need to win more states than Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. She may pick a running mate from a swing state that they could carry and give her a better shot at getting the 270 electoral votes she would need. Obama is also from a solid blue state, Illinois, so he would by no means guarantee any extra states. Still, Obama has made an impact in the primaries, and may be an attractive running mate to unite the party. Obama would lobby for it, because if he was the running mate and became VP, he would have a good shot at the nomination 8 years later, or even if they lost, he would be an early favorite for the Democratic nomination in 2012.

Now why would she do that? In the very beginning she made a racial comment about him and everyone knows he's a racist by his speech when he said "there will be racial riots if I'm not elected". They'd be at each other's throat every single day which Hillary would feel right at home with that.

No. And he would have no business accepting if she did. IF she wins the nomination and nary a vote has been cast yet.
She is slimy corrupt and besides that has launched a foul smear campaign against Obama. Where would his dignity and his character be if he accepted 2nd place to a person who parcticed sneak attacks and character assassination against him ?
Remember his message is that he wants to help bring about a NEW kind of politics. Not more of that Clinton stuff from the 1990s and DEFINITELY not promoting a person who has treated him with such utter contempt.

No. They're going to be slinging too much mud at each other in the primaries. If you make someone look like a bad choice, why would you then nominate them to be VP? That wouldn't make any sense to the voters.

no. its a strategic move on her part and i'll tell you why....
Either you like hillary and you hate obama or you like obama and hate hillary.
If she choses obama, she just blew her chances at winning... which i dont want her to win... so in that case, she can pick obama for all I care.

Doubtful, a better guess would be Wes Clark giving her some credibility on defense.

It's hard to say.
At this point anything is possible.
I think if she did, it would be a powerful ticket.
