Clinton: Dream Ticket Is Possible

Posted Mar 5, 08 8:25 AM CST in Politics 

(Newser) – Hillary Clinton today hinted that she’d be willing to bury the hatchet and share a ticket with Barack Obama, the AP reports. “That may be where this is headed,” Clinton told CBS’ The Early Show, “but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me.”

Clinton trumpeted her victories, but acknowledged that the race was “incredibly close” with just “smidgens of difference” between the candidates. Obama was also making the talk show rounds, promising to prevail over the tenacious Clinton. “We still have close to an insurmountable lead in delegates,” he said. But the Clinton machine “just keeps on ticking.”
