Senator Dianne Feinstein says that if Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, he should select Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate.

Feinstein, a longtime friend and supporter of Clinton's, says Clinton and Obama have "garnered a different constituency and different states." The California senator says that combining them would form the strongest ticket.

It isn't clear if Clinton would accept the vice-presidency, but Feinstein says she thinks that anyone accepts if they're asked.

The Obama campaign has dismissed reports that there are talks going on between the two campaigns about putting Clinton on the ticket.

Please do, so we can eliminate both of them from further contention at once!

If I were him, I wouldn't! Check out this video where she plays the assassination card!

Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama. “My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out.

I think Di-Fi has been smoking ganga with Jonah Goldberg .

I think they should flip a coin then take it to the Supreme Court.

Obama would have to always sleep with one eye open.

Careful how you use the word eliminate - particularly in this environment.

Cool, we could get a twofer. Two birds, one stone and all that.

Please be very careful what you wish for! IMO this is the best way the Dems have to win (Not that the Reps aren't starting ten yards behind). Either one alone alienates a good portion of the Dem Base. Together they might just nullify this disadvantage.

McCain is an also ran at best but might be able to pull out a narrow win over either of these two but not BOTH.

Gee, I didn’t see this coming. /sarcasm

[blueyon]

Then he wouldn’t be the candidate for “change” if he picked her it would just be the same old same old LOL

[1035rep]

I think if we don’t mention “June” we’re okay.

[rdl6989]

Beware the June bugs.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Shall I go ahead and avoid the rush and add Obama to the list of those who mysteriously die within the vicinity of the Clintons?

Who’s she?

;o)

[doug from upland]

That would be smart. Put this evil woman a heartbeat away?

Ed McMahon: Or great Karnak, here is the answer: “Sirhan Sirhan”

Karnak: “What do he and Hillary have in common”

Ed: “Heyoooooooo!!!!!!”

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

I agree...”there will be blood”.

[eyedigress]

I could just see Bill lurking around the White House telling Obama what to do. Snowballs chance in hell, IMHO.

[Golden Eagle]

IMO this is the best way the Dems have to win

I agree. Apparently Feinstein can make a nomination for it at the convention and force a vote, one she would probably win, unless Hillary's sore loserman meltdown continues.

I think this is just clever politicing by Hillary. I think these Hillary for VP stories are just a ruse to embarras Obama since these Hillary for VP stories put a lot of pressure on Obama and any response he makes is wrong.

Suppose he says “sure, I want Hillary for VP”. Immediately, the feminists attack him for being condescending to the woman since the race isn’t over yet.

Suppose he says “No way”. The the feminists attack him for being sexist and denying Hillary the second spot she deserves.”
