Clinton is even hinting the two could potentially team up in November against Republican presidential nominee, John McCain. But Obama is promising to get tougher on his Democratic rival.

Following crucial victories over Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas, Hillary Clinton was optimistic on Wednesday.

She says she's the best candidate for the Democrats to beat McCain in November's presidential election.

Hillary Clinton, Democratic presidential Candidate, said, "Obviously, I believe that I'm going to win and I'm going to be the nominee because I think because I think two things will happen. I think now that the race has really joined on who can be the commander in chief and who can be the president to deal with the economy and health care and other important issues facing America."
