Robert Johnson has toned down his pitch for the dream ticket.
In an interview on NPR's "Tell Me More" today, the Charlotte Bobcats owner repeated that he thinks Hillary Clinton would make a good choice for Barack Obama's running mate.
But his language was much more restrained:
Well, first of all, I just want to make clear to your listeners that that decision is, of course, Mr. Obama's. And whether or not Senator Clinton takes it is her decision alone. And as she has stated, she is not at this time seeking the vice presidency. But she also said that she will do everything possible to help the Democratic Party win the White House.
He then said that combining the voters who supported both candidates would be a sure way to unite the party ahead of November's election.
Johnson previously pushed the idea in separate interviews with Washington Post and CNN on Wednesday and in a letter to U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn.
