Clinton/Obama polls?


I've read all the polls that say Obama beats Clinton against McCain. I'm more interested in knowing how a Clinton (Pres) / Obama (VP) ticket would fare against McCain. My logic for supporting a Clinton/Obama ticket over an Obama/Clinton ticket is simple—I think a Clinton/Obama ticket would almost guarantee 16 years of Democrats in the White House. My gut says the same would not be so sure if Obama/Clinton ran against McCain. They might win 8 years, but Clinton will most likely not chance a presidential run at the age of 68.

Both Clinton and Obama will be great Presidents. All you Obama fans out there...would you vote for him as Vice President with Clinton as President? I think the two of them would garner a Presidential landslide against McCain, and after 8 years as VP, Obama will have matured in his political savvy and be able to cake walk into the Presidency.

I'm also curious to know if the DNC has considered this possibility. If I were a Superdelegate, I'd encourage this scenario. It's not at all unusual for members of the DNC to pressure candidates to accept positions that will benefit the party. In reality, Clinton and Obama's views are very similar, and their differences could be pretty easily negotiated. What say all of you out there?
