| Description | Former Clinton aide James Carville suggested on CNN just now that Obama offer Al Gore the vice presidential nomination.
"I think if I was Senator Obama I would say the biggest economic problem we face is the biggest national security problem and the biggest environmental problem. And if I were him, I would ask Al Gore to serve as his vice president, his energy czar, in his administration to reduce our consumption and reliance on foreign energy sources," he told Wolf Blitzer.
Blitzer responded with some skepticism that Gore would accept a second tour, but Carville persisted.
"I'm not suggesting he's just any vice president. I'm suggesting that Senator Obama as president would give him a lot of authority to deal with our consumption of oil," he said. "I think it would send a signal to the world and send a signal to Congress and American people that he's going to be really serious and we're going to cut it and coordinate all of that as the vice president." |
