55% of Democrats Want Dream Ticket

They're dreaming, alright:
(CNN) – Even as the prolonged Democratic presidential race has become more divisive in its final stretch, a majority of Democrats want Barack Obama to choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate, according to a new poll out Tuesday.

A new Gallup poll shows 55 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents surveyed think Obama should offer the New York senator a spot on his ticket. That number is significantly influenced by Clinton's supporters — close the 75 percent of her backers want the No. 2 spot to be offered, while only 43 percent of Obama supporters feel the same.

The problem is that 100% of the winning candidates don't want anything to do with Hillary on the ticket, and the extra baggage that Bill will bring. I'm sure some of the Dem bigwigs will try and force his hand, but I don't think Obama wants Hillary around after she withdraws.
