I’ve never been persuaded that this so-called Dream Ticket of Obama/Hillary or Hillary/Obama makes any sense politically for either candidate, no matter who is the top of the ticket. But setting my skepticism aside, it is interesting to see that Gallup has polled on this question and that Dems greatly prefer Obama as her VP to Hillary as his VP.
Gallup explains that the vast majority of Obama supporters would rather him pick someone else as VP, rather than Hillary, whereas Hillary supporters are generally favorably disposed to her tapping Obama as VP.
The question is phrased in such a way that I think it reduces the concern that the result is a reflection of supporters of either candidate not being ready to concede defeat.
It’s certainly more fodder, too, for the debate over which candidate is likely to lose more opposing Dems to McCain or to indifference in the general election.
