Drudge links to the NYT's report of Edwards' endorsement of Obama with the question: "The Ticket?" See Kaus for the answer.

Meanwhile, yesterday Dick Morris wrote there would be no veep slot for Hillary this year:

It would be an act of terminal insanity for Barack Obama to name Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential candidate. It would not help him get elected, it would drag all the Clinton controversies into the general election, and having her down the hall in the West Wing would be a recipe for disaster, dissension and civil war. Other than that, it's a hell of an idea!

Today, however, in an exclusive for RCP, Democratic strategist Bob Beckel counters with a provocative argument of his own: that if Hillary wants to be VP, Obama can't stop her. Beckel writes:

Does Hillary Clinton want to be the Democrats vice presidential candidate? Probably. Could she get on the ticket by dropping out before the last states vote on June 3rd? Definitely not. Does Barack Obama want her on the ticket? Absolutely not. Can he stop her if she wants it? Probably not. Why not? Super delegates are why not. [snip]

Now imagine its June 4th and Clinton calls again. Clinton, "I know Obama has enough votes to win, but I wanted you to know Hillary has decided to run for vice president at the convention. You know there are two roll call votes at the convention: first president then for vice president. I know you are voting for Obama for president. Fine, but I want your commitment to vote for Hillary for vice president."

You imagine being on the floor in Denver. Hillary's delegates, NEARLY HALF THE DELEGATES, are demanding she be on the ticket. These are true believers who have stuck with Clinton thru thick and thin. To them, putting Hillary on the ticket is a crusade.

Most Clinton delegates are women, most Democratic voters are women, and they're going to just accept some middle aged white governor that Obama is rumored to want? No way.

Read the rest of Beckel's piece and see for yourself whether he's sketched a convincing scenario of how Hillary can force her way onto the ticket this year if she wants to.
