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:

"Bad move. I'm pretty sure Richardson is gonna be called up during the pennant drive which will conflict with the campaign."

I hear he's the second coming of Fernando Valenzuela. He can rush his 4-seamer up there at 97, has a good sharp fast slider, he can sell his change-up, his splitter falls off the table, has a good heavy sinker, he can throw his curveball in a teacup, he's complete. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Biggest rap on Richardson's resume ...

If I recall correctly he tried to get Monica Lewisnsky a job in NYC to keep her quiet about her love affair with The Great Stainmaker.

Richardson. Governor, Westerner, former Cabinet member, former Congressman, Hispanic.

Agreed. O'Bambino / Ricky Ricardo 2008. A Eyetalian and a Queban.

2011?!? That vulture isn't going to wait THAT long! LOL

Early 2011 would mean she would serve out the remaining ~2 years of BHO's term and remain eligible to serve two more terms after that.

Bayh and Richardson seem the best choices. But, the Democrats do not seem to use any reasonable logic, so expect someone loony.

Obama’s not going to choose another Senator or Congressman. He has to balance the ticket with a Governor, and he needs to make up to the women’s voters. He has 3 female Rat Governors to choose from: Napalitano in AZ, Gregoire in WA, and Sebelius in KS (Granholm from MI is Canadian, so she doesn’t count). My guess is Sebelius. Napalitano is very un-photogenic, to be polite, and Gregoire doesn’t help because Obama will already win Washington state without her. Sebelius is Hillary without the baggage.
