On the campaign trail, Mississippi holds a primary today in the deadlocked Democratic presidential race. Thirty-three delegates are at stake. It’s the last primary for another six weeks until Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton face off in Pennsylvania. On Monday, Obama dismissed comments from the Clinton campaign that he would make an optimal vice-presidential running partner on a Clinton-led ticket.

Sen. Barack Obama: “I’ve won twice as many states as Senator Clinton. I’ve won more of the popular vote than Senator Clinton. I have more delegates than Senator Clinton. So I don’t know how somebody who’s in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person who’s in first place.”
