The next stop on the campaign trial is the Mississippi primary on Tuesday (March 11) where there are 33 delegates up for grabs and Sen. Obama leads in the polls.
Sen. Clinton and her team have been floating the idea of making Sen. Obama her running mate.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday again raised the possibility that she might run with rival Sen. Barack Obama on the same Democratic presidential ticket as her husband, Bill Clinton, called a Clinton-Obama "unstoppable." Speaking to voters in Mississippi, where Sen. Barack Obama is expected to do well in next week’s primary, Clinton said, "I’ve had people say, ‘Well I wish I could vote for both of you. Well, that might be possible some day. But first I need your vote on Tuesday." It is the second time this week that she has hinted at a joint ticket with the Illinois senator; who has not ruled it out but says it is premature to be having those discussions. Bill Clinton said the fact that his wife appealed to rural voters, while Obama appealed to urban voters would make the ticket "unstoppable." source
Here’s what Barack Obama has to say about Senator Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton’s vice president offer on a
democratic "dream ticket.
Senator Barack Obama today ridiculed recent suggestions by Hillary Clinton and her top supporters that he might make a good running mate as part of a so-called Democratic dream team for the general election.
For starters, Obama said, he has won twice as many states as Clinton, secured the most delegates, and captured a larger share of the overall popular vote to date.
"If I was in second place right now, I’d understand it," he said at a town hall meeting in Mississippi, where 33 delegates are at stake in Tuesday’s primary. "But I’m in first place right now."
Obama, arguing that Clinton’s campaign was trying to "hoodwink" voters into casting ballots for her, said it made no sense for the New York senator and her backers, after weeks of trying to portray him as unprepared to be commander-in-chief, to suddenly be talking him up for a role that would put him one heartbeat away from the presidency.
"I don’t understand. If I’m not ready, how is it that you think that I should be such a great vice president?" Obama asked supporters in Columbus, Miss. "You can’t say that he’s not ready on day one — unless he’s willing to be your vice president, then he’s ready on day one." source
Barack Obama tells a crowd in Columbus, Mississippi that he’s not running for vice president – he’s running to be the President of the United States of America.
On the campaign trail, Senator Barack Obama defeated Senator Hillary Clinton
in the Wyoming caucuses Saturday (March 8). Now that Sen. Obama has won
Wyoming 61% to Clinton’s 38% , he has seized a bit of momentum in the
close race with rival Sen. Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential
nomination.
Obama’s campaign says the win adds two delegates to his slight
delegate lead. Sen. Obama comes out of Wyoming with 7 delegates while
Sen. Clinton gained 5 delegates.
