Such a ticket would open up a very agressive equal rights debate in the media. Americans would be influenced by this. There is a whole segment of the US population out there who support equal rights and would vote in an election they would otherwise stay home for.
I actually believe that a Hillary / Obama ticket would all but guarantee victory.

I wouldn't guarantee them a win but they would be very hard to beat.
A lot of people say that there are too may redneck/hick type people in this country to vote for them. In reality those people are not going to be voting for any democrat no matter who it is. It doesn't matter if Jesus himself came back, if he is running as a Democrat he isn't going to win Texas, Oklahoma and other deep south states.
Hillary and Obama would be an actual change from the "old white guy' standard we get every four years and it might be enough to actually motivate the unwashed hippy left to get out and vote. Factor that in with the fact that the country is still awash in a republican backlash and you find yourself with a pretty tough to beat ticket in clinton/obama.
