OBAMA TO SURROGATES: IF ASKED ABOUT “DREAM TICKET”, CHANGE SUBJECT


[TheHill.com]

Barack Obama’s surrogates should, if asked about a possible Obama-Clinton “Dream Ticket”, say that the issue is “premature” and change the subject, an Obama Campaign memo, dated May 12, 2008 instructs—The Hill reports:

“It contains a mock question-and-answer section that reveals how Obama’s campaign wants to approach the endgame of a long and bitter nomination fight.

“The questions also deal with “chatter” that the Illinois senator might help Clinton retire her substantial campaign debt or ask her to join him on the Democratic ticket as his running mate.

“That kind of talk is premature, and I’ll leave the speculation to the press and pundits,” the memo instructs surrogates to say. “Barack is focused on energizing and uniting voters as we look toward November.”
