US elections - Obama might not beat McCain without Clinton and her supporters - by Geoff Elliot
While many have written off Senator Clinton as a possible running mate -- the odds were firming in the political betting markets yesterday that Senator Obama would pick veteran senator Joe Biden -- polls yesterday indicated about half of Senator Clinton's supporters were still refusing to back Senator Obama. Despite renewed campaigning from Senator Clinton to convince her supporters to back the man who narrowly beat her in the drawn-out battle for the Democratic presidential nomination, many of her supporters remain upset by her loss and want to at least see her on the Obama ticket. Senator Obama has repeatedly said Senator Clinton would be on his short list, though speculation over the past few days has centred on Senator Biden, Indiana senator Evan Bayh and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine.
