It seems that Sen. Obama has a great deal to gain electorally by adding Sen. Clinton to the ticket (for one thing, her popularity among hispanics increases his chances in Florida by a sizable margin), but a great deal to lose administratively - in that she will be unreliable because she's unlikely to accept 'orders' from him or will pursue her own agenda once they're elected.
It seems to me that Democrats ought to be all for it. They're adults; they can learn to work together. Aside from that, who else is there? The name recognition alone seems as thought it would be a boon; Clinton generates high negatives but probably mostly among Conservatives who have never voted Democratic in their lives. Looking to the future, given the pretty thin margin by which Obama won, for now it also appears to be the best chance of a third democratic term after Obama's two terms.
