Dem Delegates Favor Clinton as VP, but Obama-ites Cool to the Idea

CQ POLITICS - Barack Obama is on the cusp of naming his running mate and a lot of the speculation is centering around Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh and Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine. At least, those are the three that rated photos in today's Washington Post and New York Times stories.

But if you ask the delegates to the Democratic convention, which a New York Times/CBS News poll did, their runaway favorite is Hillary Clinton. Twenty-eight percent chose Clinton in a survey conducted July 16 - Aug. 17 among a random sample of 970 delegates with Biden getting 6 percent, John Edwards 4 percent (at least, pre-Aug. and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Bayh tied at 4 percent.

Not surprisingly, most of that support for Clinton comes from 61 percent of those delegates who are pledged to her, while only 3 percent of delegates pledged to Obama want to see her as No. 2. The top vote-getters among Obama delegates are Richardson at 8 percent, Biden at 7 percent and Edwards at 6 percent.

Thirty-five percent of Obama delegates believe Clinton on the ballot would help get Obama elected compared to 23 percent who think it would hurt and 29 percent who said it would make no difference. Fifty-six percent of superdelegates believe she would help the ticket, 11 percent said she would hurt it and 20 percent said it would make no difference. Ninety-two percent of Clinton delegates said their candidate would help.
