COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama has ridiculed theidea of being Hillary Rodham Clinton's running mate this fall.
Speaking in Columbus, Mississippi today, the Illinois
senator said voters should not think they can get both candidates
on the ticket by nominating Clinton as president and assuming he
will accept the vice presidential spot.
Obama told a midday crowd, "You have to make a choice in this
election."
Obama did not absolutely close the door to a second spot on the
ticket, but it was his most pointed signal that he is not
interested.
He also said he didn't know how somebody who is in second place
is offering the vice presidency to the person who is in first
place.
That drew cheers and a long standing ovation from about 1,700
people.
Obama noted that he has won more states, votes and delegates
than Clinton so far, and he says he thinks he can win the
nomination.
Obama is making several campaign stops in Mississippi, which
holds its primary tomorrow.
