Sen. Hillary Clinton, whose tenacious refusal to surrender the nomination contest turned the Democratic race into one of the most nail-biting in modern U.S. political history, has indicated that she would be willing to sign up on a joint ticket.
But while Clinton's appointment could help heal rifts in the party after weeks of divisive campaigning from both candidates, Obama has the pick of a broad field of candidates from across the political spectrum. iReport.com: Whom do you see as VP?
Here is a list of possible front-runners:

If Obama yields to old time pressures and chooses Hillary Clinton as his VP, it will confirm two things: 1 that he is too weak to be president, and 2 that he has been a complete fraud about turning the page on yesterday’s politics.

Obama/Osama 2008- Its catchy.
I’ve heard Clark’s name mentioned, and that would also probably be a good pick for Obama.
That would make sense. It throw water on the “sexist” charges that will inevitably be thrown by the Clinton campaign without having to put her on the ticket. He’s be a damned fool to put Hillary on the ticket; Hillary and Bill would be trying to overshadow and undermine him for four years.
No. They'll buck up and vote socialist as long as they are thrown a bone.
Finish this sentence, “Hell hath no fury....”
and he’s fat and fair whereas BO is thin and swarthy, so he would help balance the ticket.
For some reason, I thot of Caroline Kennedy today too. Talk about a young and dumb ticket. yegad.
Good Lord, what a list to choose from. I guess if I had to pick the one who offends me least it might be Richardson.
Black/female/gay all on the same ticket. A victomologists dream. If Obama could announce that he had been sexually abused as a child, it would be perfect.
Right on target, ExTexasRedhead!
They don't believe in hell. Just getting a woman in line for POTUS. Any woman will do as long as she's not a conservative.
Weaseley Clark is so tight with the Clintons, Obama might as well pick one of them. Clark would be their eyes and ears 24/7 in an Obama White House.
Catchy like a sword to the head or should I say neck.
Really? Are there any conservatives in the pack? Of course not, because there haven't been any conservatives of stature within the 'Rat pack for decades!
Good fit. William Blaine Richardson III is about as Hispanic as Barack Obama is Black.
He doesn't do much to help Obama's Ohio problem, though.
