Hillary Clinton appeared on CBS's "The Early Show" to discuss her wins last night, as well as the state of the race. She offered an atypical response to a constant question of the media; namely, whether the two rivals would run together on a Democratic ticket:

"That may be where this is headed, 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."

Obama, when asked, seemed less interested:
"We are just focused on winning the nomination. That is my focus. I respect Sen. Clinton. She has been a tenacious opponent. It is premature to talk about a joint ticket."

Watch Hillary's entire interview. Her comments come around 2:30:

Yes, anyone out there still on the fence between these two do not be fooled -- there will be no "dream team" first Obama would never put up with the likes of Bill Clinton who would really be the VP. And Obama doesn't have to settle for VP -- he's ahead remember. Hillary VP for Obama, not going to work he's about change the status quo, nothing about her 8 years entrenched in WA says change. Not to mention I would suspect after her kitchen sink politics last week she'll be lucky if she's see the inside of the White House as long and Mr & Mrs. Obama reside there.

If he does not have 2025 then the fact that he is ahead is immaterial. The AP said yesterday that no matter what neither will clinch before the convention which means who is ahead is of no consequence. The superdelegates will ultimately choose Mrs. Clinton. They will have no choice when all is said and done as by then Obama will be considered unelectable. Obama would do well to take the VP slot now as I doubt it will be offered to him later.

The Demo race won't go to convention, rwferr. The many faces of Clinton will get her pushed out the race soon enough :-)

Billary's "magnanimous" faux offer of a veep position for Obama is beneath him, and just intended to confuse clueless voters who might think that if they voted for Billary, they'd also get Obama. Another arrogant and pointless move by Hillary.

A " Dream Ticket " would be one that gets her on a train to Mexico (or parts farther south).

If she won, she would ask Sen. Obama because she needs him. But he is smart. He would turn her down. He doesn't need her.

Why do she continue to blow Cainwind under McCain's skirt by saying both she and McCain will bring experience and Obama will bring a speech? Why on earth would Obama want to be on a ticket with her?

Let it be noted that nightmares and night tremors are also classified as "dreams"... technically speaking.

Go straight to Hell, Hillary. Anyone would have to be completely insane to agree to be this woman's VP. Just ask Al Gore what happens when your a Clinton VP. We already know that Bill will be #2.

I don't think that hint means what you think it does. To say 'That may well be where this is headed', doesn't sound much like a hint to me. It sounds more like a recognition that in the end that may be the only way to work things out. That's not the same thing.

Hillary insults Obama supporters and expects them to vote for her!

Not even if Clinton was VP will that happen!

Hillary want to have her cake and eat it too!

She is the most irritating person in the world.

She whines
She is disrespectful
She is a very small person
She demonstrated low tact

And now she thinks Obama will run with her?

She will probably do some tricks in the back room and find a way to make it happen this way.

This will dissenfranchise progressives which don't support her anyway and blacks who won't come back to her so MCBush can win.

Super wars soon to follow.

I don't see any possibility of her being offered the VP slot. Obama has nothing to gain from having her onboard. The right VP choice would more than make up for what she brings to the table.

You mean Hillary Clinton would put her political career ahead of the good of the nation?

If as she says, Senator Obama is not prepared to be President; not someone we'd want answering the phone at 3AM, why place him within a heart-beat of the Presidency?

Simply so that she could get his votes?

Remember the questions over Dan Quayle in '88?

At least Quayle never had Bush I saying "I have years of experience to bring to the White House, Gov Dukakis has experience he'd bring to the White House. Senator Quayle just gave a speech."

It's called burning your bridges Mrs. Clinton.

It's laughable that she thinks Obama would even put her on the ticket. It is premature right now to think about it. He will only put her on there if it's an absolute must. But right now he doesn't need her. And for her to suggest him as her Veep is disgusting arrogance on her part.

BO would put her on the ticket as VP? Are you nuts? No one would pay attention to him. Everything would be Hillary 24/7. Obama would have to be the VP so he could learn and grow, little grasshopper.

That was not only premature, it was obscene.

I am not trying to sound mean or cruel, but she is only offering this to Obama because she knows that is she doesn't she is not getting the African American vote and no democratic president in many decades has won the white house without it. Obama is not on the ticket most African Americans will stay home in November and she can't afford that.

ELECTION 2008
Clintons to face fraud trial
Judge setting date, testimony to include ex-president, senator

While Hillary Clinton battles Barack Obama on the campaign trail, a judge in Los Angeles is quietly preparing to set a trial date in a $17 million fraud suit that aims to expose an alleged culture of widespread corruption by the Clintons and the Democratic Party.
At the conclusion of a hearing tomorrow morning before California Superior Court Judge Aurelio N. Munoz, lawyers for Hollywood mogul Peter F. Paul will begin seeking sworn testimony from all three Clintons – Bill, Hillary and Chelsea – along with top Democratic Party leaders and A-list celebrities, including Barbra Streisand, John Travolta, Brad Pitt and Cher.
Paul's team hopes for a trial in October. The Clintons' longtime lawyer David Kendall, who will attend the hearing, has declined comment on the suit.
The Clintons have tried to dismiss the case, but the California Supreme Court, in 2004, upheld a lower-court decision to deny the motion.

Bill Clinton, according to the complaint, promised to promote Paul's Internet entertainment company, Stan Lee Media, in exchange for stock, cash options and massive contributions to his wife's 2000 Senate campaign. Paul contends he was directed by the Clintons and Democratic Party leaders to produce, pay for and then join them in lying about footing the bill for a Hollywood gala and fundraiser.
The Clintons' legal counsel has denied the former president made any deal with Paul. But Paul attorney Colette Wilson told WND there are witnesses who say it was common knowledge at Stan Lee Media that Bill Clinton was preparing to be a rainmaker for the company after he left office.
Paul claims former Vice President Al Gore, former Democratic Party chairman Ed Rendell and Clinton presidential campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe also are among the people who can confirm Paul engaged in the deal.
Paul claims Rendell directed various illegal contributions to the DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign and failed to report to the Federal Election Commission more than $100,000 given for a Hollywood event for Gore's campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2000. McAuliffe, Paul says, counseled him in two separate meetings to become a major donor to Hillary Clinton to pave the way to hire her husband. Paul asserts top Clinton adviser Harold Ickes also directed him to give money to the Senate campaign but hid that fact in "perjured testimony" during the trial of campaign finance director David Rosen.
Rosen was acquitted in 2005 for filing false campaign reports that later were charged by the FEC to treasurer Andrew Grossman, who accepted responsibility in a conciliation agreement that fined the campaign 35,000. Paul points out the Rosen trial established his contention that he personally gave more than $1.2 million to Clinton's campaign and that his contributions intentionally were hidden from the public and the Federal Election Commission.
Rosen, accused of concealing Paul's in-kind contribution of more than $1 million, was acquitted, but Paul contends the Clinton staffer was a scapegoat. Paul points out chief Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson told the Washington Post he was aware of the donation, yet he never was called as a witness in the Rosen trial.
Paul contends his case will expose "the institutional culture of corruption embraced by the Clinton leadership of the Democratic Party," which seeks to attain "unaccountable power for the Clintons at the expense of the rule of law and respect for the constitutional processes of government."
The complaint asserts Clinton has filed four false reports to the FEC of Paul's donations in an attempt to distance herself from him after a Washington Post story days after the August 2000 fundraiser reported his past felony convictions. Clinton then returned a check for $2,000, insisting it was the only money she had taken from Paul. But one month later, she demanded another $100,000, to be hidden in a state committee using untraceable securities.
"Why wouldn't that cause someone to inquire?" Paul asked. "Especially since it was days after she said she wouldn't take any more money from me."
Paul has the support of a new grass-roots political action group that is helping garner the assistance of one of the nation's top lawyers
Republican activist Rod Martin says his group plans to highlight Paul's case as it launches an organization based on the business model of the left-wing MoveOn.org but rooted in the principles and political philosophy of former President Reagan.
Martin's group also is assisting in Paul's complaint to the FEC asserting that unless the agency sets aside the conciliation agreement and rescinds immunity granted the senator, it will "have aided and abetted in the commission" of a felony.
Paul's case is the subject of a video documentary largely comprised of intimate "home movies" of Hillary Clinton and her Hollywood supporters captured by Paul during the period.
