In an interview with CNN today, Obama weighed on the possibilities of having Clinton on his presidential ticket.

In a CNN interview, he said he had not wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination, but when he does, he will start going through the process of selecting a running mate.
"She is tireless, she is smart. She is capable. And so obviously she'd be on anybody's short list to be a potential vice presidential candidate," said Obama, who inched closer to winning the nomination by routing Clinton in North Carolina and almost defeating her in Indiana on Tuesday.

Some political pundits say that this would be one strategy to appease embittered Clinton supporters in the party.

According to a CBS News/New York Times poll released last week, a majority of both Obama and Clinton voters say they would favor a so-called "Dream Ticket" involving both candidates.

Some Democrats are saying Obama and Clinton would be a formidable team against Republican John McCain in the race to the November election.
