Hillary Considers Elitist VP, Obama Mulls Liar

After dodging last night’s debate question about whether each Democrat presidential opponent would pick the other as running mate, the campaigns of Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama this morning issued “clarifying statements” on the topic designed to promote party unity.
During the debate, Sen. Clinton continued to portray her rival as an elitist, out of touch with average Americans, while Sen. Obama deftly dodged a question about Sen. Clinton’s honesty. Today, however, under pressure from Democrat party insiders each candidate said the other would make prime VP material.
The ‘Clinton for President’ campaign released the following statement: “Sen. Clinton would certainly have to give serious consideration to choosing an elitist, anti-God, anti-gun vice president with virtually no experience and a demonstrated propensity for attracting people who hate America, like the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Weather Underground member William Ayers and, of course, Michelle Obama. After all, he represents a significant constituency within the Democrat party.”
Likewise, the ‘Obama for President’ movement said Mrs. Clinton is on his short list of VP candidates.
“Sen. Obama realizes he can’t be all things to all people,” according to a news release from the campaign, “For example, some Democrats might be reluctant to support an inspiring, intelligent, honest and attractive candidate with powerful speaking ability. For those voters, Hillary Clinton will bring balance to the ticket.”
