NOT GONNA HAPPEN
Just real quick.
Obama is not going to pick Hillary for his VP. Why? Cause he's not dumb. You don't spend 4 months slugging it out with someone and then turn around and say "No hard feelings? Come play on my team now." The only place that worked was The Mighty Ducks and former Hawk Adam Banks wound up leaving the championship game on a stretcher.
There's a reason people picked Obama over Hillary. Maybe they didn't trust her foreign policy. Maybe they don't want to go Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton. Maybe they're not ready to have a woman president. What ever the reason, more people chose Obama than chose Hillary. You don't want to take whatever negative baggage your recently defeated opponent has with them and toss it onto your own bandwagon. Especially when you're going to be facing a white guy that's a) a moderate conservative, b) a war hero and c) had 3 months to sit back and get his campaign in gear.
Like I said, Obama's not dumb. He may get played off a little as "Golly Gee, it sure is nice to be here" and "Wow, if we all hold hands things will be good" but that's not who he is. It can't be who he is. The man, as the saying goes, made his bones in Chicago. You don't "golly-gosh-gee" your way to any sort of success in Chicago, not unless you're being fronted by the mob. And you certainly don't get elected to anything higher than Sergeant At Arms of the Local Elks Chapter.
Obama can most likely carry New York without Hillary as his running mate, and that's about all the good she'll bring him. He's over with women, he's over with the working class, he's already over with everyone that Hillary could help him get over with. He'll snag either someone that can bring him a Big state like California, or he'll snag someone that can bring a couple of red states into his camp. A good call might be Bill Richardson of New Mexico. I don't know how his politics mesh with Obama's, but if he could bring him the Southwest electorals and the Latino votes, I don't think Obama would care too much.
Sorry Hillary, there's always a cabinet position. Or a guest host gig on SNL, Tina Fey seems to really like you.

Remember Mr. Worz, the political types don't need to do anything smart, or anything that makes sense for that matter.
