RFK wouldn't have chosen Hatfield. Tongue He woudl've gone for a progressive Southerner like Carl Sanders or Ralph Yarborough.

I have a great friend on AH.com that has a timeline on an RFK Presidency in 1968 BTW (he has Sanders as RFK's VEEP): http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=157130

An RFK/Sanders ticket vs. Nixon and Wallace:



An RFK/Hatfield ticket vs. Nixon and Wallace (if it materialized):



I can't see an RFK/Hatfield ticket materializing. Did they agree on that much? RFK would've needed to solidify the entire New Deal coalition, and picking Hatfield could potentially throw a wrench into that. Also, I feel like Hatfield would've been more dovish on Vietnam while RFK would've been more of a realpolitik kind of guy on Vietnam (and on foreign policy in general).
