At last Hillary Clinton has conceded defeat but only after everyone convinced her that there is no way she can be nominated from Democratic ticket as Presidential candidate. Though she still claim to have 18 million popular votes (which is in fact the highest count of all times).
In start of 2008, most of democrats were in favor of dream ticket of Hillary and Obama but after the continuous bashing of former on later, which benefited the Republican camp enormously, as John McCain benefited from Hillary - Obama mocking/attacking each other in every state to win maximum delegates. The result at the end, they lost heavy points to McCain.
The national polls indicate that Obama has almost 2 points lead on McCain, and chances are that he will further strengthen his position as time progress. And most of swing states this time might also favor Democrats. Obama is gaining popularity after getting endorsements from renowned US political figures like Kennedy family, Jon Wiener, John Edwards, Shaun Kenney, Senator Edward Kennedy etc.
Though the race could become close run at the end, as there are red-neck states in US, who can never accept a black American president (least a woman).
Obama has some difficult choices, if he offers Hillary Vice President ticket, he then takes a serious risk of a strong Hillary presence/lobby and conspiracy theories but on the other hand, it adds experience and a strong resume for democrat bid for white house.
Obama might ask her as running mate, if he don't get a good VP candidate that assures both attracting conservative and women voters (right now Hillary is the best option).
