[The Associated Press]At least there are two San Francisco Bay Area super-delegates that we do not have to oppose when they are up for re-election. The first is Barbra Boxer—who announced that because Clinton carried California in the primary she will support Clinton’s bid for the nomination—and the second is loyal Clinton supporter Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Feinstein said Friday that she believes that if Obama becomes the nominee he should select Clinton as his running mate, the Associated Press reported an hour ago.
"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," she 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 constituences."
Feinstein is a longtime friend and supporter of Clinton's. So would Clinton accept the vice-presidency?
"I think anyone accepts if asked — whatever they say," Feinstein said.
Meanwhile, Obama campaign denied reports that there were talks going on between the two campaigns about putting Clinton on the ticket. But they would, wouldn’t they?
