CAMPAIGN WIRE: Obama Says He Won’t Be Clinton’s VP by FOXNews.com Saturday, March 8, 2008 Border Facebook Stumble Upon del.icio.us Digg email Email comment (6:40 p.m. ET) Responding to speculation about a joint ticket, Barack Obama says he will not play second fiddle to Hillary Clinton. Obama told KTVQ in Billings, Mont., Friday: “You won’t see me as a vice presidential candidate.” “I’m running for president,” he told the television station. “We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote, and I think we can maintain our delegate count — but you know, what I’m really focused on right now, because all that stuff is premature, is winning this nomination and changing the country.” Clinton herself has kept talk of a joint ticket alive, saying it’s a possibility. Bill Clinton on Saturday (see below) even said the two Democrats would be an “unstoppable force” if they teamed up. Actress in Clinton 3 a.m. Ad Is Obama Backer (3:18 p.m. ET) One of the sleeping children pictured in Hillary Clinton’s controversial “3 a.m.” ad has come out as a Barack Obama supporter. Washington state resident Casey Knowles, 17, told KING5.com in Seattle that the Clinton ad used stock footage of her from eight years ago when she worked as a TV extra. And her family was shocked when they saw the ad for the first time Thursday. “It’s really sort of ironic that my image would be used to advocate for Hillary when I myself do not,” Knowles told KING5.com. Knowles said she is an Obama supporter who’s campaigned for him and even attended one of his rallies. The Clinton ad showed several images of sleeping children, and then asked viewers who they wanted “answering the phone” in a crisis. The ad was widely credited with boosting her performance in the Texas primary. The family does not own the footage, but Knowles said jokingly that she hopes Obama will get together with her to make a counter ad.

If you put those two things together, you’d have an almost unstoppable force,” Clinton explained. Hillary Clinton again raised the idea of a joint ticket Friday in Mississippi, saying “that might be possible some day.” Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Clinton supporter, also says he’d support a Clinton-Obama ticket. Obama has not ruled out the joint ticket idea, but says it’s premature to talk about those hypothetical scenarios. – FOX News’ Shushannah Walshe contributed to this report.
