Carter Says Obama Shouldn't Name Clinton VP, Guardian Reports

By Chris Dolmetsch

June 4 (Bloomberg) -- Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said it would be ``the worst mistake'' for Barack Obama, the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee for president, to pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate, according to the Guardian.

Carter cited opinion polls showing that half of U.S. voters have a negative view of Clinton, and said choosing the former first lady as vice-presidential candidate would be the ``worst mistake that could be made,'' the U.K.-based Guardian reported.

Carter formally endorsed Obama for president yesterday, the Guardian said. Carter made the comments in an interview with the newspaper's weekend magazine that will be published June 7 and was conducted before Obama clinched enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination.

Carter said Obama should pick someone who can compensate for ``potential defects,'' such as his ``youthfulness'' and lack of experience in international and military affairs, the Guardian said. The former president said he prefers former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia, the newspaper reported.
