A new CNN/Opinion Research poll out today finds that a majority of Democrats think Obama should pick Hillary as his running mate, 54-43.

The poll also finds that 60% of Democratic women think Hillary should be VP, but only 46% of men.

What to make of this? First, Obama shouldn't be making any decisions about his running mate any time soon. By which I mean for at least a few weeks. The passions from the primary are still too hot to really get a clear sense of just what kind of candidate Obama needs. Better to let the fact of Obama's nomination sink with the general public before making any huge decisions.

Second, I suspect with a little bit of time these numbers will go down some. Not a lot, but perhaps dip below the 50% mark. Even if they don't, just because a majority of Democratic think Clinton should be Obama's running mate doesn't mean they won't accept someone else.
