I don't think Hillary would choose Obama as the VP. There's a pretty large percentage of the population (I think I remember a poll that had it at 12%) who would not vote for a black candidate under any circumstances. She'd be better off with Edwards, or with Richardson, who would probably bring out way more Hispanic voters than he'd cancel out with people who wouldn't vote for a Latino. Plus, having an English-sounding last name would probably fool many of the people who are too bigoted to vote for a Latino anyway.
