Obama and Clinton campaigns have denied talks are taking place over graceful Clinton exit strategy

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senator Dianne Feinstein says that if Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, he should select Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate.

Feinstein, a longtime friend and supporter of Clinton's, says Clinton and Obama have "garnered a different constituency and different states." The California senator says that combining them would form the strongest ticket.

It isn't clear if Clinton would accept the vice-presidency, but Feinstein says she thinks that anyone accepts if they're asked.

The Obama campaign has dismissed reports that there are talks going on between the two campaigns about putting Clinton on the ticket.
