I think Clinton would be forced to Obama. I don't think she can win without him. They both have ~50% of the Dem vote right now.
If Clinton gets the nom, the only one who could really get the younger and African American majority is Obama. If she can't get him on board it will probably be a McCain victory.
On the oppoisite if Obama get the nom, he could go with Hillary but there are a million and one others like Hillary that would be less likely to stir up another controversy. So Obama most likely would not pick Hillary as a VP.
One thing I don't like about the whole race is that Hillary has been using severely poor and cheap political tactics throughout her campain. I actually had one of my professors bring in all the political flyers he had picked up and received in his mail to use for material in the class. The major point is that 90% of the flyers from Hillary's campain were all about attacking Obama on one thing or another. None of the Obama flyers even mentioned Hillary or her campain issues. One of the reasons I like Obama better than Hillary is that his campain is about 600% cleaner than hers. While I like that the campain is continuing I really think Hillary needs to stop with the attack tactics. It will just hurt the party more later on.
