Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton spoke directly with each other yesterday, but no one is sure what they talked about. It certainly appears that Senator Clinton would like to be Barack Obama’s running mate… but we have no idea whether that’s something Obama wants.

Just a few hours after making political history, Barack Obama returned to Washington. On the Senate floor his colleagues, including Republicans - lined up to offer congratulations. As fate would have it, Obama and Clinton spoke within minutes of each other at a meeting of a powerful American-Israel lobbying group.

Senator Clinton all but endorsed Obama, while he worked on collecting votes for November.

"Senator McCain offers a false choice: stay the course in Iraq, or cede the region to Iran. I reject this logic because there is a better way. Keeping all of our troops tied down indefinitely in Iraq is not the way to weaken Iran – it is precisely what has strengthened it. It is a policy for staying, not a plan for victory. I have proposed a responsible, phased redeployment of our troops from Iraq. We will get out as carefully as we were careless getting in. We will finally pressure Iraq’s leaders to take meaningful responsibility for their own future. " Sen. Barack Obama

Obama later told reporters that he and Clinton met briefly backstage. While reports surfaced that she has authorized supporters, including Black Entertainment Television Founder Robert Johnson - to encourage Obama to pick her as a running mate.

"She is going to work just as hard to get Obama elected as president as she worked as hard to seek the nomination during the primay." Robert Johnson, Founder, BET

Obama’s campaign insists there have been no direct discussions, but they’re relieved that Senator Clinton seems ready to help them win over her voters.

"She wants to work to make sure that the Democrats are united that the party comes together" Robert Gibbs, Obama Campaign Communications Director

It’s icing on the cake now, but a swarm of uncommitted Super Delegates in Congress endorsed Obama today - under pressure from Democratic leaders to unite the party.
