Senator Feinstein, a Hillary supporter, backs the Democrats so-called dream ticket - Obama/Clinton -- saying if Sen. Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee he should pick Hillary as his running mate:
"I think as this race has emerged each one of them has garnered a different constituency and different states, and therefore when you put the two of them together it forms, I believe, the strongest ticket," Feinstein, D-Calif., told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
"Women feel very strongly about Hillary and African-Americans feel very strongly about Barack, and the election results show that, and the young versus old, the higher educated versus the working person ... All these things are sort of separated out into one or the other so there is a logic in combining the two constituencies."
Feinstein didn't rule out Hillary winning the nomination:
She also said that if Clinton becomes the nominee, she should pick Obama as her running mate.
Bill Clinton is also suggesting that Hillary should be offered the vice presidency:
In Bill Clinton's view, she has earned nothing short of an offer to be Obama's running mate, according to some who are close to the former President. Bill "is pushing real hard for this to happen," says a friend.
